Operation, precautions
DANGER
Explosion hazard
If an insertion tool comes into contact with
explosives or explosive gases, an explosion could
occur. When working on certain materials and when
using certain materials in machine parts, sparks and
ignition can occur. Explosions will lead to severe
injuries or death.
►
Never operate the machine in any explosive
environment.
►
Never use the machine near flammable materials,
fumes or dust.
►
Make sure that there are no undetected sources
of gas or explosives.
WARNING
Operating pressure
If the maximum operating pressure for the hydraulic
machine is exceeded, it can result in material damage
and personal injury.
►
Always run the hydraulic machine with the correct
operating pressure. See "Technical data".
WARNING
Unexpected movements
The post is exposed to heavy strains when the
machine is used. If the post breaks or gets stuck,
there may be sudden and unexpected movement
that can cause injuries. Furthermore, losing your
balance or slipping may cause injury.
►
When driving, make sure you are able to keep
safely balanced. Keep arms and legs clear of the
post. If a post breaks during operating, the post
driver with a projecting broken shank will
suddenly drop.
►
Always inspect the equipment prior to use. Never
use the equipment if you suspect that it is
damaged.
►
Make sure that the handles are clean and free of
grease and oil.
►
If you suspect that the post has struck a hidden
object, stop the machine immediately. Make sure
there is no danger before continuing with the
work.
►
Never lean against the post driver in order not to
loose foothold, if the post should break by
accident, or if the pile suddenly sinks.
►
Never rest the post or the adaptor in a post driver
on your foot or against your body.
►
Never strike or abuse the equipment.
►
Pay attention and look at what you are doing.
