7.0 CUTTER OPERATION
7.1 Foreseen Use and Residual Risks
NOTICE:
WARNING
Failure to observe and comply with the
instructions and precautions contained in the
following paragraphs could result in death or serious
personal injury.
1. The cutter is designed for cutting metal tubes, plate,
cables and similar materials during decommissioning
or demolition activities.
The properties of the material to be cut must not
exceed the stated maximum limits applicable to your
cutter model. Refer to Section 2.1.
2. The cutter may be used only when connected to a
compatible Enerpac hydraulic pump.
3. Operators must observe the instructions in this
manual in order to minimize the risk of accidents.
In particular, operators must pay attention when
working in conditions that could cause:
• Possible burns from overheated parts.
• Injury due to incorrect positioning or inadequate lifting
or moving.
• Injury caused by splinters discharged from the bar or
other work piece.
NOTICE:
WARNING
People remaining in the vicinity of the
cutter while it is working are subject to the risk of
flying debris (dangerous objects, etc.). Serious
personal injury could result.
4. Incorrect Uses:
• Cutter must not be used for purposes other than those
indicated in this document.
• Cutter must not be used in areas subject to the risk
of explosion.
7.2 Positioning the Cutter
• Before inserting material to be cut inside the blades,
be certain that the cutter is positioned on a solid
and stable work surface of sufficient weight rating
capacity. Refer to Section 2.2 for cutter weight.
• Position the cutter as needed using the positioning
handles located at the side and rear of the cutter
hydraulic cylinder. See Figure 1.
• If it is necessary to move or transport the cutter, use
the positioning handles and, if needed, properly rated
lifting equipment.
NOTICE:
WARNING
Because the cutter components are
very heavy, there is a risk of cuts, crushing or broken
bones. To avoid accidents, use care when working
with the cutter. Serious personal injury may result if
the cutter is not properly supported and handled in
an appropriate way.
