Power Drive Inspection

To prevent serious injury, inspect your Power
Drive. The following inspection procedures should
be performed on a daily basis:
1. Make sure Power Drive is unplugged.
2. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the
plug has been modified or if the cord is damaged, do
not use the Power Drive until the cord has been
replaced.
3. Inspect the Power Drive for any broken, missing,
misaligned or binding parts as well as any other con-
ditions which may affect the safe and normal opera-
tion of the tool. If any of these conditions are present,
do not use the Power Drive until any problem has
been repaired.
4. Use tools and accessories that are designed for your
Power Drive and meet the needs of your application.
The correct tools and accessories allow you to do the
job successfully and safely. Accessories suitable for
use with other equipment may be hazardous when
used with this Power Drive.
5. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment han-
dles and controls. This reduces the risk of injury due
to a tool or control slipping from your grip.
Inspect the cutting edges of your dies. If necessary,
have them replaced prior to using the Power Drive.
Dull or damaged dies can lead to binding and poor
quality threads.
6. Clean metal shavings and other debris from the chip
tray of the 418 Oiler. Check the level and quality of the
thread cutting oil. Replace or add oil if necessary.
NOTE! Thread cutting oil lubricates and cools the
threads during the threading operation. A dirty or
poor grade cutting oil can result in poor thread
quality.
