hub-less connections or compression gaskets
may be electrically isolated, care should be
taken to check the entire length on any pipe
you are going to inspect.
Tool Use and Care
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or
OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Properly maintained tools
are less likely to cause injury.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
