INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Hydraulic Cutter “CK0116” “CK0125”
1. SAFETY ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The
LARZEP
hydraulic cutters have been designed in accordance with our Quality Standards and under the control described by the ISO 9001 rules.
The tool is only designed for the operations described in this. No other uses are foreseen and therefore the manufacturer will not feel responsible for any damages
caused by a wrong operation of the tool.
ORGANIZATIVE PRINCIPLES
The instructions guide must be always available at user’s reach.
Hydraulic equipment can be used with such little effort that it is often easy to forget the magnitudes of force involved. As a complement to the instruction manual,
the user should be trained as far as the machine operation and the corresponding safety and technical rules are concerned, such as those about prevention of accidents
and protection of environment.
The operators must wear protective clothes like helmet, glasses, gloves, boots and others.
Helmet
Glasses
Gloves
Boots
In order to prevent any personal or material damage, the operator should be duly trained in the working operation and apply the relevant safety actions.
Whenever the tool is operated, the steps described in the paragraph “START UP” of this manual should be followed.
Any modification on the tool or replacement of components affecting the general safety should be avoided without the previous authorisation by the
manufacturer.
Any repairing and maintaining operation, etc. should be done only by specialised staff and with original spare parts
LARZEP.
If it is used, replace the hydraulic hoses periodically even if at first sight that don’t show any damage or fault.
Effect the suggested maintenance operations periodically as per this manual
After operation, the tool should be clean and store fully retracted in a safe and clean place.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY
•
For all cutters
Before starting the operation, make sure that the user will work steady.
Use safety equipment: protection of eyes, hands and feet.
Operate the tool in properly light powered areas.
Effect the maintenance operations at no pressure and disconnected.
Do not overpass the nominal capacity of the machine. Use indicators and devices to be aware of the working pressure.
All commands should be operated by hand. Do not use any tools or levers for that purpose.
After operation, clean and store them in the box.
•
For kits, pump
Make sure about the perfect cleaning of coupling and accessories. Dirty couplings are difficult to connect and might cause dust and other dirty materials
to penetrate into the hydraulic circuit
When using electric pump, make sure that the distributor valve is in neutral position when plugging the pump.
Ensure that heavy or sharp objects do not fall or are placed on the hose.
Do not pressurize the hose by pumping against the coupling, before connecting pump and tool.
The choice of pumping system (hand, air-driven, petrol powered or electric) depends upon the application, ensure that the reservoir contains at least 25%
more oil than required to fill both the cutter and connected hoses.
Bearing the above in mind, obviously the use of the cutter must be done as per the relevant instructions described in the manual. The user must
be aware of the inherent risks when handling high pressure hydraulic devices, command properly the working operation and instruct
accordingly the staff staying in the nearby area to the tool.
Check that both the tool and the accessories have not experienced any damage during transportation, handling or installation. Ensure that all the
components of the hydraulic system, can support the maximum pressure.
Limit a maximum value of 80% of nominal capacity in continuous operation.
Do not expose the tool to intense heat, such as when welding.
