GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before operation, make sure the operator is on solid footing in a well-lit area.
The cutter must be used in accordance with the relevant instructions described in the manual. The user must be
aware of the inherent risks when handling high pressure hydraulic devices and ensure that a safe working
environment and safe systems of work are in place before operating the equipment.
Before use, visually inspect the tool and accessories for any damage. If any damage is found, do not use the tool
until repaired. Ensure that all the components of the hydraulic system can support the maximum pressure.
Manufacturer’s rating is the maximum allowable limit. Good practice encourages using only 80% of
the manufacturer rating.
