deactivation following operation
7.1 Cutter
7.2 Hand pump
At the end of the work, the cutter must be retracted until it reaches its end position.
This relieves hydraulic and mechanical stress on the device.
NOTE:
When cutters are in storage, fluctuations in ambient temperature can cause the
pistons to move slightly. This physical phenomenon is due to the expansion of
the enclosed hydraulic fluid.
7.3 Hoses
After completing the work, the hand pump must be depressurised.
Decoupling is carried out as described in the chapter “Connecting the device”.
Ensure that you put the dust protection caps back on to the couplings.
6.2.3 Operation: Safety instructions
The following must be worn when working with the rescue equipment:
• Uniform or protective clothing,
• Safety helmet with visor or protective goggles,
• Protective gloves.
The particular effect of the force of the rescue equipment during operation could cause
pieces to break off or separate, posing a danger to persons. Measures must be taken
to ensure that neither operators nor persons not involved in the work are put in danger.
Persons not involved in the work must keep well clear (at least 5m).
WARNING / CAUTION!
Do not reach between the blades.
Do not cut live cables.
Do not cut any pre-stressed parts (springs, vehicle steering rods, shock
absorbers), cut parts can jump away uncontrolled.
Do not cut hardened parts.
The cutter may only be operated with a hand pump, under no circumstances may it be
operated with a motor pump unit . The operating pressure must not exceed 700 bar.
