Item
Procedure
Check the condition of the anvil
As described in section 9.3
Check the condition of the blade
As described in section 9.4
Before use of the tool, ensure that all operators are at a safe distance from the cutter, and that any
guarding or safety features are installed and operational.
Check that the hydraulic supply is set to an appropriate level for operation as stated in section 3.2.
8.2
Deploying the Tool
Begin the operation with the anvil fully retracted. To achieve this, pressurise the ‘Anvil Out’ port on
the HCV270 auxiliary cylinder.
Place the cutter over the workpiece. Ensure that the workpiece is fully inserted into the mouth of the
tool so that there is no risk of the anvil fouling against it as it is closed.
Close the anvil over the workpiece by pressurising the ‘Anvil In’ port on the HCV
270 auxiliary
cylinder. Ensu
re that the ‘Anvil Out’ port is open to tank.
Fully inspect the tool to ensure the anvil is fully closed before continuing.
