Safety instructions

Welding
In case of a structural repair of the equipment, when
welding may be needed, consult the dealer for
recommended instructions.
When welding on the attachment the following steps
must be taken:
•
Make sure that fire-extinguishing equipment is
available.
•
Clean the area around the welding area to
eliminate any fire hazard.
•
Connect the ground wire so the welding current
does not pass over any bushings.
•
Place the ground wire as close to the welding area
as possible.
Modifying the equipment
It is not approved to:
•
Modify the equipment without the consent of
HULTDIN SYSTEM AB.
•
Alter the function of the equipment without the
consent of HULTDIN SYSTEM AB.
•
Use spare parts other than original HULTDINS
parts.
Chain shot hazard
Operator and bystander safety
Because of the high speeds, high stress, heavy loads, wear
factors and varying levels of repair and maintenance given
to saw-chain based machines, there is a possibility that
chain or chain pieces can be thrown from the machine at
high speed and enormous energy. Operators and bystanders
are exposed to a risk of serious injury.
Machines should be designed with appropriate guards and
shields, and care should be taken to minimize the exposure
of users and bystanders to the cutting plane of the saw.
Warning!
There is risk of serious injury or death to machine
operators and bystanders from “Chain Shot”, which is
the high-speed ejection of chain parts that can occur
in the event of a derailed or a broken chain. For
maximum protection, machines should be equipped
with an energy-absorbing chain shot guard.
