Residual Risk; Specified Conditions Of Use - Milwaukee M18 HCC45 Manual De Instrucciones

Remove any setting tools and wrenches before making the cut.
To avoid injury and damage, never immerse the tool, removable
battery or charger in liquid or allow liquid to penetrate them.
Hold the cable cutter by both handles.
In the event of faults during the cutting process, release the trigger
immediately and press the hydraulic reset button.
The valve will open and the piston will return to its initial position.

RESIDUAL RISK

Before the cutting process begins, access must be sealed o in
accordance with local regulations.
Only ever cut cables that have been disconnected from the power
supply.
Cable and cord may not be exposed to any mechanical forces.
Failure to comply with this instruction can lead to serious injury,
death, re and other damage to property as a result of electric
shock, explosion and/or electric arcs.
Wear goggles.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

Depending on the type of cable, the cable cutter is suitable for
cutting insulated copper or aluminium cables, ACSR cables (alumi-
nium/steel cables) and steel cables that have been disconnected
from the power supply.
Only personnel trained in electrotechnical applications may carry
out cutting and splitting of cables and cords with the aid of this
cable cutter.
The operator of this cable cutter must be instructed in the speci c
dangers associated with using this cable cutter and in the essential
safety measures before working with it for the rst time and at
least once a year thereafter.
The operating company must:
• make the operating manual available to the operator and
• ensure that the operator has read and understood it.
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illus-
trations and speci cations provided with this device. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock,
re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
USE
Set-up of the working area
Before work begins, the cables or cords must be disconnected and
it must be ensured that they remain isolated from the power supply
for the duration of the work.
If it cannot be ensured beyond doubt that the cable or insulated line
has been disconnected, no work may be carried out.
It is crucial that local safety provisions and the regulations are
observed.
Cable and cord may not be exposed to any mechanical forces and
must be secured from any uncontrolled movements following the
cut.
Do not expose tools to rain. Do not use tools in damp or wet
locations.
Preparation of cable cutter and battery
Before every use:
• Inspect cable cutter for external defects
• Check the cutting tool for cracks and other signs of wear
Only use in perfect condition!
Before the cutting process begins, the battery capacity must be
checked: minimum 33% (see illustrated description).
It may require charging before work commences.
Preparation for the cutting process
Support and x the cable or rope to be cut to minimise the risk of
uncontrolled movement.
Overhead cables and cords, in particular, can move out of control
and cause injury and/or damage.
The cutting head must be positioned at an angle of 90° to the cable
or cord, so that the cable can lie in the opened cutting jaws without
tension and undesirable shearing forces can be avoided.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of explosions, electric
shock and damage to property and equipment, never cut
live electrical cables.
Tool is NOT insulated. Contact with a live circuit could result
in severe injury or death. Turn o power before making a
cut. Never cut gas or water lines. Keep hands away from all
cutting edges and moving parts. Laceration and amputati-
on can occur.
Always remove battery pack before changing or removing
accessories. Only use accessories speci cally recommended
for this tool. Others may be hazardous.
To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles or glasses
with side shields.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, only cut recom-
mended materials for the blades. (see „Speci cations") Do
not attempt to cut other materials.
Cutting
• Before cutting, ensure blades are properly installed.
1. Guide the cable at right angles to the cutting of the cable
cutter. Do not attempt to make angled cuts as it will damage the
workpiece and blades.
2.Grasp handle(s) rmly.
Pull and hold the trigger through the operation.
An LED will light when the trigger is pulled.
Once cutting has been carried out, or the tool is switched o , let the
release button go again and activate the reset switch, so that the
cutting bars open.
Note: Workpiece may move slightly during the cut.
Action in the event of faults
• The cable can be broached and become live, in which case always
inform the safety o cer, stop the cutting process, and initiate
suitable protective measures
• Always ensure that the device is and will stay disconnected from
the power supply before approached and touching the device
• press and hold the reset button until the cutter opens completely
• check the battery capacity
• check the material and material thickness against the technical
data
