SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Operator must start in a work area without
bystanders. The operator must be familiar with all
prohibited work areas such as excessive slopes and
dangerous terrain conditions.
• Establish a training program for all operators to
ensure safe operation of the tool.
•
Do not operate the tool unless thoroughly trained or
under the supervision of the instructor.
•
Always wear personal protection equipment (PPE)
such as goggles, safety shoes, head, eye, breathing,
and ear protection when operating the tool. Use
gloves and aprons when necessary.
•
Do not inspect or clean the tool while the hydraulic
power source is connected. Accidental engagement
of the equipment can cause serious injury.
•
Supply hoses must have a minimum working
pressure rating of 2500 psi/175 bar.
• Be sure all hose connections are tight.
• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the
OFF position when coupling or uncoupling the tool.
Wipe all couplers clean before connecting. Use only
lint-free cloths. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the quick couplers and cause overheating of the
hydraulic system.
•
Do not operate the tool at fluid temperatures above
140 °F/60 °C. Operation at high temperatures can
cause operator discomfort.
•
Keep the hydraulic fluid clean at all times.
Contaminated fluid causes rapid wear and early
failure of internal parts.
•
Do not operate the tool if it is damaged, improperly
adjusted or incompletely assembled.
•
Do not weld, cut with an acetylene torch or hard-
face the tool bit.
•
To avoid personal injury or equipment damage,
all tool maintenance, repair, and service must be
performed by properly trained personnel.
•
Do not exceed the rated limits of the tool or use the
tool for applications beyond its design capacity.
•
Check fastener tightness before each use daily.
• Never operate the tool if you cannot be sure that
underground utilities are not present.
•
Never wear loose clothing or unrestrained long hair
that can get entangled in the working parts of the
tool.
•
Keep your work area clean and clear of tripping
hazards. Oily surfaces and hoses lying around can
be hazardous.
• Be alert and cautious around any pressurized
hydraulic system. High-pressure oil can be very
dangerous. Know your equipment and operate it
properly.
•
Ensure adequate lighting for the area where the tool
is being used.
•
Use proper lifting techniques when handling the
tool. Do not overreach. Maintain secure footing and
balance at all times.
•
Make sure all critical tool markings, such as labels
and warning decals, are securely in place and
legible. Replace any that are damaged or missing.
•
Always replace hoses, couplings, and other parts
with replacement parts recommended by STANLEY.
Refer to the parts list at the end of this manual for
part numbers.

WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Protect yourself and those around you. Research
and understand the materials you are cutting.
Follow correct safety procedures and comply with
all applicable national, state or provisional health
and safety regulations relating to them, including,
if appropriate arranging for the safe disposal of the
materials by a qualified person.
