"When you purchase your plate joiner, it comes from the factory with this beautiful case, plastic case that is specially molded to hold and to store your plate joiner. As you can see, there's all kinds of compartments, there's a compartment for your biscuits, which we'll cover a bit later, and it will help you to protect your tool. At any given time, I always repeat it, do not wrap the cord around the body of the tool. It will cause the cord to break off and it will make your tool very very unsafe. Whenever you don't use it, just put it away in the case, the storage case. Put it somewhere out of the reach of children. They love to play with this, especially that it is very nice and colorful tool, however it can be very dangerous. The storage, its very important that you try to keep it locked and from the outside elements obviously. Before you store it, clean it off, either with a rag or if you have a compressor, blow it off a little bit. It will prevent any debris getting caught up in the mechanical moving parts of the tool. Everything that you need to use your plate joiner usually is inside the case. By that I mean, the vacuum exhaust and the special ratchet for replacing the blades. I guess that will cover the storage element of this. Thank you very much."
