Safety Instructions for Hydraulic Cordless Cable Cutters
WARNING!
Wear safety goggles.
Never reach into the work area of the tool head, unless a safe operational stop is ensured. You can only ensure that the power tool is at a safe operational stop if the tool head is fully open and the battery has been removed.
- The power tool must only be operated by trained professionals who are aged 16 or over. This will reduce the danger to persons.
- The power tool must only be operated by one person. Direct other persons out of the hazardous zone of the power tool. This will reduce the danger to persons.
- Only operate the power tool if the tool head is visible and you can ensure that no limbs are in the danger zone. This will allow you to avoid injury.
- Stop the power tool by releasing the on/off button if there is danger to persons or the machine while you are working.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
- In emergencies and before starting work with the power tool, you can move the power tool into the starting position by using the mechanical return. Before setting the power tool down or after finishing work, shut down the pressing tool and depressurise it. Press the reset button to depressurise the power tool.
- Only operate the power tool by hand. The on/off button and the reset button must be within reach so that they can be pressed in an emergency.
- It is prohibited to use the power tool in a fixed position. It must be neither placed on the ground nor clamped in a clamping device for use.
- Before starting work, ensure that there are no live parts in the work area. If there are live parts in the vicinity, take appropriate protective measures. The power tool is not suitable for working on live parts.
- Do not operate the power tool in an explosive environment.
- Do not open the power tool. Safe operation is then no longer guaranteed and the warranty claim becomes void.
- In order to prevent the power tool from overheating, do not use the power tool in continuous operation for more than 15 minutes. The power tool is not designed for continuous operation.
- If you are working in an elevated position, secure the power tool sufficiently using a fall protection system and ensure that there are no persons below the work area. Wear protective headgear when carrying out overhead work. This will enable you to avoid material damage and personal injury if you inadvertently drop the power tool.
- In the event of oil loss, the power tool must be sent back to the manufacturer.
- Avoid contact with leaking hydraulic fluid. Clean your skin thoroughly with soap and water in the event of any contact. Rinse your eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 10 minutes in the event of any contact. Contact with hydraulic fluid can cause irritation and allergic reactions.
- Only remove the battery once the power tool has been shut down safely.
- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
- Do not modify or open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
- Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
| Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting. |
WARNING
Ensure that the coin cell is kept out of the reach of children. Coin cells are dangerous.
- Coin cells must never be swallowed or inserted into any other part of the body. If you suspect that someone has swallowed a coin cell or that a coin cell has entered the body in another way, seek medical attention immediately. Swallowing coin cells can result in severe internal burns and death within 2 hours.
