Operating Instructions

Burning Hazard

Protect your hands to avoid injury. The unit could get to high temperatures both during and after use.

• Always use protective gloves.

High-Pressure Fluids Hazard

Never grab, touch, or in any way come in contact with a hydraulic pressure leak. When the hydraulic circuit is pressurized, the hydraulic fluid can escape at high speed. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If an accident occurs, contact the nearest health service immediately! Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.

• Always relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.

• Always wear safety approved eye wear when checking for leaks. Do not use your hands to check for leaks in the hydraulic circuit.

• Always keep away from leaking elements during the tightening process.

• Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of the unit.

• Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye and face protection.

• Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.

Risk of Severe Injury

Always use personal protective equipment when operating the unit. Below are possible hazardous situations:

• Impact blows to the head

• Foot injuries

• Exposure to high noise levels

• Heat, splashes from liquids, impacts, cuts, air contaminated with harmful dusts, fumes, mists, sprays, and vapors.

If not avoided, the above hazardous situations could result in severe bodily injury or death.

• Always use the adequate personal protective equipment on your job site.

Risk of Severe Injury

Always protect the face when working with high-pressure equipment. High-pressure equipment could cause severe bodily injury.

• Always wear goggles and/or face shield.

• Monitor the pressurized equipment and pay attention to the pressure gauge, because the pressure can increase quite rapidly in case of low volume circuits.

Risk of Severe Injury

Monitor the hydraulic circuit before increasing the pressure. Air under pressure can cause injury.

• Always shut off the air supply when not in use or before any adjustment.

• Drain the hose of air pressure and disconnect the tool from air supply when not in use or before any adjustment.

• Always use the correct hose size and air pressure for the tool.

• Always examine the condition of the elements that assemble the hydraulic circuit. If there are any faulty elements, contact the customer center to replace it with another element with the same characteristics in proper condition. Only qualified and trained personnel can do maintenance and improvement services on this device.
