• Do not expose the tool to heat sources in excess of
158°F [70°C] as this could cause irreversible damage
to cable insulation and other electrical components,
possibly leading to a fire. If tool becomes overheated,
allow tool to cool or remove heat source.
• The tool is designed for noncontinuous use. Allow
sufficiently long pauses to let the oil to cool. Consult
Enerpac if prolonged and/or uninterrupted use is
required.
• Do not service or clean the tool, or replace blades
or guards, while the tool is operating and/or if tool is
connected to AC power supply.
• Keep electric tools out of the reach of children. Do
not allow inexperienced users or users who have not
read the instructions to operate them. Electric tools
are dangerous in the hands of non-expert users.
• In accordance with the standards indicated and
followed by the manufacturer, the equipment
components that also perform a safety function
(insulators, guards, etc.) must not be repaired, but
must instead be replaced with original spare parts.
1.4 Additional AC Electric Tool Safety Instructions
NOTICE:
WARNING
Failure to observe and comply with
the following precautions and instructions could
result in death or serious personal injury.
1.4.1 Use and Care
• Store the tool indoors. Keep in a secured area to
prevent use by unauthorized personnel.
• Do not clean the tool with a water spray or the like.
• Do not operate the tool with a damaged cord or
plug, or after the tool malfunctions or is dropped or
damaged in any manner.
• Return the tool to the nearest Enerpac authorized
service center for examination, repair, or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
1.4.2 Disconnecting Power
• Be sure that tool motor is off before removing plug
from electrical outlet.
• Do not unplug the tool by pulling on the cord. To
unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
• Remove plug from electrical outlet when the tool is
not in use and before servicing or cleaning the tool.
DANGER
High voltage is present inside the tool
even when tool motor is off. Before servicing the
tool, be sure that the tool power cord is disconnected
from the electrical outlet or other electrical power
source.
1.4.3 Grounding Instructions
DANGER
Risk of electric shock! Connect the tool
only to a properly grounded outlet.
The tool is double insulated and equipped with a
polarized power plug.
The plug must be plugged into a polarized electrical
outlet that is properly installed and wired in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
• Keep cutting tools clean and replace blades when
they become dull. Suitably maintained cutting tools
with sharp edges are less likely to jam and are easier
to control.
CAUTION
Failure to observe and comply with the
following precautions and instructions could result
in minor or moderate personal injury. Property
damage could also occur.
• To help ensure proper operation and best
performance, use only Enerpac HF hydraulic oil. Use
of any other oil may result in unsafe operation and/or
damage to tool. The Enerpac product warranty may
also be invalidated.
• Keep hydraulic equipment away from flames and
heat. Excessive heat will soften packings and seals,
resulting in fluid leaks. Heat also weakens hose
materials and packings.
• Protect all hydraulic equipment from weld spatter.
1.3 Safety Precautions - AC Powered Electric Tools
NOTICE:
WARNING
Failure to observe and comply with the
following precautions and instructions could result
in death or serious personal injury. Property damage
could also occur.
• Always be certain that tool is stopped and
disconnected from AC power supply before
performing any tool cleaning, maintenance or repair
procedures.
• Be certain that the cutter is disconnected from the
AC power supply before reaching inside the cutting
head to clear jams, or for any other reason.
• Do not leave the tool unattended in the workplace
when connected to the AC power supply. Take all
reasonable precautions to avoid unauthorized use.
• Take precautions so that the tool is not switched on
accidentally. Be certain not to press the trigger when
picking up the tool or when positioning it.
• If it is not possible to unplug the cutter power cord
from the AC power outlet, the power must be turned
off and locked out at the AC power supply.
• Always disconnect the tool from AC power before
transporting it. If electric tools are transported while
the operator’s finger is on the trigger and AC power
is connected, accidents can occur.
• Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on and off
using the trigger. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the trigger is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Remove all wrenches and adjustment tools (if
present) before switching on the tool. A wrench or
adjustment tool attached to a rotating element of an
electric tool can cause personal injury.
• Make sure the cooling vents are unobstructed and
that the cooling surfaces are clean in order to avoid
dangerous overheating.
