SAFETY WARNING!
Read and understand all instructions before using this tool. The operator must
follow basic precautions to reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage
to the equipment.
Keep this manual for safety warnings, precautions, operating or inspection and
maintenance instructions.
WORK AREA
- Operate in a safe work environment. Keep your work area clean, well-lit and free of distractions. Place lights so you are not working in a shadow.
- Keep anyone not wearing the appropriate safety equipment away from the work area.
- Store unused tools properly in a safe and dry location to prevent rust or damage. Lock tools away and keep out of the reach of children.
PERSONA L SAFETY
WARNING! Wear personal protective equipment approved by the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) or American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
- Always wear impact safety goggles that provide front and side protection for the eyes. Eye protection equipment should comply with CSA Z94.3-07 or ANSI Z87.1 standards based on the type of work performed.
- Wear gloves that provide protection based on the work materials or to reduce the effects of tool vibration.
- Wear protective clothing designed for the work environment and tool.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid personal
injury or damage to tool.
- Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
- Avoid wearing clothes or jewelry that can become entangled with the moving parts of a tool. Keep long hair covered or bound.
- Do not overreach when operating a tool. Proper footing and balance enables better control in unexpected situations.
- Support the workpiece or clamp it to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body may lead to personal injury.
- Securely hold this tool using both hands. Using a tool with only one hand can result in loss of control.
HYDRAULIC PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Seek immediate medical attention if hydraulic fluid under
pressure penetrates your skin. See Injection Injury precautions for
instructions before using a pressurized hydraulic system.
- Do not touch or handle hydraulic hoses or components while under pressure. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure has sufficient force to penetrate your clothing and skin. A pinpoint hole may inject hydraulic fluid into your body. Seek immediate medical attention if this occurs (see Injection Injury).
- Never exceed the hydraulic system’s load capacity (see Specifications).
- Do not adjust the hydraulic system’s relief setting. The settings are pre-set by the factory.
- Hydraulic oil under pressure is hot and can cause a burn injury if touched, sprayed or spilled. Allow the hydraulic system to cool before conducting maintenance.
- Hydraulic components require regular inspection. Release all pressure from the system before you inspect it. Replace damaged hydraulic parts with identical manufacturer’s components.
- Do not attempt makeshift repairs to a hydraulic system. Such repairs can fail suddenly and create a hazardous condition.
- Hydraulic fluid has a combustible flash point of 200°F (93°F). Do not expose the fluid to an ignition source.
- Change your clothing immediately if sprayed with hydraulic fluid. Store clothing or rags contaminated with hydraulic fluid in an approved metal safety can with a spring-closing lid and venting designed to contain a fire.
- Only use hydraulic fluid in the pump. Do not substitute or mix brake fluid, or any other fluid, with the hydraulic fluid. This can result in a pump failure and injure the user or bystander. It may also damage the pump.
INJECTION INJURY
DANGER! Seek immediate, professional medical treatment if fluid
penetrates your skin. It may feel like a pricking or sting. Do not wait for
the appearance of symptoms. A toxic reaction can occur from the exposure.
Delay in treatment can lea1. Ensure that that the ON/OFF knob is in the OFF
position and internal pressure is completely purged from the system.
Inform the medical staff that you have a fluid penetration injury as soon as
you arrive at the medical facility. The severity of the symptoms will depend
on the type of fluid injected. Bring the Safety Data Sheet for the fluid with
you to the medical facility if possible.
INJECTION PRECAUTIONS
Fluid can penetrate the skin at 100 PSI pressure. Fluid escaping under
pressure from the tool has sufficient force to penetrate your clothing and
skin. Follow the precautions below to avoid an injection injury.
- Always check for leaks wearing a face shield, safety goggles, rubberized gloves and protective clothes.
- Release all pressure from the system before you inspect it.
- Do not use your hands to detect a fluid leak. Use a large piece of wood, cardboard or paper and watch for discolouration.
