Field checklist

I may have put a screw into the damper/blade path at [location]. I stopped. Can you look before I touch it again?

Do not hide the hole, smear mastic over it, force the blade, or pretend it did not happen.

A fastener in a damper blade path can prevent life-safety equipment from working.
