5.0 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
5.1 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
5.2 TRAINING
AMKUS tools facilitate the extrication of entrapment victims. Only trained emergency services personnel should attempt victim
extrication. All personnel using AMKUS rescue tools are assumed to have completed a training course covering safe extrication of
entrapment victims. The training must be acknowledged as educationally sound by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) over
such training.
5.3 OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
To avoid rescue tool overheating:
• After use, clean off any accumulated oil, grease, dirt, or corrosive substances with a damp cloth and soapy water.

WARNING
Tool operators bear responsibility for ensuring use of appropriate protective clothing and
equipment. The chosen protective clothing and equipment must provide protection from potential
hazards users may encounter while operating AMKUS rescue tools. Requirements for protective
clothing and equipment are determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
NOTICE
AMKUS tools are intended for intermittent use. Allow sufficiently long pauses for the rescue tool to
cool. If the tool’s exterior becomes too hot to touch, the temperature is likely above 120°F (49°C). An
overheated rescue tool operates less effectively. When hydraulic oil temperature reaches 158°F
(70°C), the tool’s efficiency drops significantly, and the tool should be stopped to cool down.
NOTICE
Operating the rescue tool continuously against an end stop may cause overheating resulting in an
inoperable tool. Permanent damage to the tool may occur. When an end stop is reached, release the
control handle to return the control to the neutral position.
