2.3 general safety instructions
When working with high-pressure hydraulic units, improper handling and/or poor maintenance can
damage the unit and cause severe injuries. Consequently, observe all the following safety instructions
and contact our service team should you have any questions.
never...
• deploy the unit when parts are damaged
or missing.
• make any changes to the unit or remove the
warning signs.
• intervene in the work area of the tools or the
swivel area of the workpieces.
• look intentionally and directly at the laser light.
• open couplings under pressure.
• apply pressure to unconnected hose couplings.
• exceed the maximum operating pressure.
• operate the unit unattended.
• subject the unit to corrosive materials.
• deploy the unit unless the operating
instructions have been read and understood
completely.
• store or operate the unit at temperatures
above 45 °C (113 °F).
• deploy the unit in an explosion risk area.
!
caution...
• when handling hydraulic oil. The oil can become very hot after longer operation.
There is a risk of injury!
• Long busbars can swing backwards quickly and unexpectedly when being bent.
Ensure that nobody is present in the work area. Risk of injury!
• To extend the service life of the unit, the hydraulic cylinder should not travel
to the limit stop under full pressure.
• Risk of environmental contamination! Collect any escaped hydraulic oil and
prevent it from entering the sewer system or the surface and ground water.
