1.8 VIBRATION HAZARDS
•
Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms.
•
Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands warm and dry.
•
If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands, stop using the tool, tell
your employer and consult a physician.
•
Where possible Support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer, because a lighter grip can then be used
to support the tool.
1.9 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HYDRAULIC POWER TOOLS
•
The operating hydraulic supply must not exceed 550 bar (8000 PSI).
•
Oil under pressure can cause severe injury.
•
Do not fit flexible hydraulic hoses rated at less than 700 bar (10,000 PSI) working pressure at a flow rate of 2.73 l/min
(200 in
/min).

•
Never leave operating tool unattended. Disconnect hydraulic hose and electrical cable from the pump unit when tool is
not in use, before changing accessories or when making repairs.
•
Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
•
Prior to use, inspect hydraulic hoses for damage, all hydraulic connections must be clean, fully engaged and tight
before operation. Do not drop heavy objects on hoses. A sharp impact may cause internal damage and lead to
premature hose failure.
•
Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins shall be installed and whipcheck safety cables
shall be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection failure.
•
DO NOT lift the placing tool by the hose or electrical cable. Always use the placing tool handle.
•
DO NOT pull or move the hydraulic pump unit using the hoses. Always use the pump unit handle or roll cage.
•
Keep dirt and foreign matter out of the hydraulic system of the tool as this will cause the tool to malfunction.
•
Use only clean oil and filling equipment.
•
Only recommended hydraulic fluids may be used.
•
Power units require a free flow of air for cooling purposes and should therefore be positioned in a well ventilated area
free from hazardous fumes.
•
Maximum temperature of the hydraulic fluid at the inlet is 110°C (230°F).
