7.	 Store idle tool out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the Hydraulic Punch
Driver Kit or these instructions
to operate the Hydraulic Punch
Driver Kit. This tool is dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.

1.	 Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

8.	 Maintain tool. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that
may affect the Hydraulic Punch Driver
Kit’s operation. If damaged, have the
Hydraulic Punch Driver Kit repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.

2.	 Keep children and bystanders
away while operating the Punch
Driver Kit. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.

9.	 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.

3.	 Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating the Punch Driver
Kit. Do not use the Punch Driver
Kit while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention
while operating hydraulic tools may
result in serious personal injury.

10.	 Have Hydraulic Punch Driver Kit
serviced by qualified service technician
using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure the safety of Hydraulic
Punch Driver Kit is maintained.

Important Safety Information

4.	 Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
5.	 Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
6.	 Do not force the Hydraulic Punch
Driver Kit. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool
will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.

nameplates. These carry important
safety information. If unreadable
or missing, contact Harbor Freight
Tools for a replacement.
