Checking for proper closure
N The lug on the grip must engage
entirely in the recess (arrow), and
the grip must lie completely flush

properly installed.
N If the cap does not tighten properly,
the cap parts may be misaligned
with each other, or the cap may be
damaged or broken. See the

Safety Precautions for how to
correct a misaligned cap and
additional information. Never use
your machine with a misaligned,
damaged or broken cap.
