Receiving and commissioning a new tool
Ten minutes on arrival avoids a bad surprise at height.
On arrival
- Confirm the SKU and configuration against your order — see specifications.
- Inspect the sealing pad for transit damage.
- Charge the pack fully before first use.
First attachment
Test on a known-good, flat, non-porous surface at bench height. Confirm the pump settles and the tool resists hand pressure.
First hole
Drill a test hole in scrap or a non-critical location. Verify actual depth against the set depth with a gauge.
Record and train
Log the tool into your inspection regime alongside other safety-relevant equipment.

Questions about this
What should I check before the first real hole?
Test attachment on a flat, clean, non-porous surface at bench height, then drill a test hole in scrap and verify actual depth against the set depth with a gauge.
Should the tool go into an inspection regime?
Treat it like other safety-relevant equipment. The sealing pad in particular is a wear item whose condition affects whether the tool stays on a wall.
