NEVER use the Knockout Set or any of its components near
live circuits.
ALWAYS stand to the side of the ram when punching. This
will help avoid injury should there be a component failure.
The model 1521 Hand Pump is pre-set at the factory to operate
at pressures up to 8,000 PSI. Do NOT connect any pump to the
Current Tools model 1522 Ram that will exceed 8,000 PSI. Doing
so may cause component failure which may result in injury or
death. Only use a hand or foot operated pump with the model
1522 Ram. Never operate the ram with an electric pump.
Be sure to support the ram while punching. An unsupported
ram could fall causing injury.
Do NOT continue to operate pump after the ram completes
the punch. Doing so will damage the ram and could cause
component failure resulting in serious injury or death.
If the ram motion stops before the punching process
is completed, Do NOT continue to operate the pump.
Release the pump pressure and disassemble the set-up
and determine the cause before continuing.
Hydraulic tools create tremendous pressures and hydraulic oil
can easily puncture skin. If your skin is pierced by oil you must
seek medical attention immediately! NEVER touch the hydraulic
hose or fittings while the unit is under pressure.
ALWAYS thread the punch COMPLETELY onto the draw stud
( or adapter ) to avoid thread failure. If the punch tightens before
it is completely threaded onto the draw stud, disassemble the
set-up and determine the cause. Then reassemble the set-up.
ALWAYS release the hydraulic pressure before removing
any hoses or before servicing any component of the
hydraulic system.
ONLY replace the hoses and fittings with Current Tools
replacement parts.
NEVER attempt to exceed the punching capacity of this
knockout set. Doing so may cause component failure and
possibly serious injury or death.
