DRUM DEHEADER USE AND CARE
 Do not force the drum deheader. Products do a better job and are safer when used in the manner
for which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.
 Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the drum deheader will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never
operate the drum deheader with a damaged part.
 Store the drum deheader when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of
children. Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your drum
deheader. Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used
with another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure
than the tool itself.
