Maintenance
Each Operating Day
Before use:
1. Inspect dies for wear or damage such as cracks,
gouges, or chips.

detected, return the tool to an authorized Greenlee

leaks. High pressure oil easily
punctures skin causing serious
injury, gangrene, or death. If injured,
seek medical help immediately to
remove oil.

cleaners to clean the tool body.
Solvents could ignite, causing
serious injury or property damage.
