hose.
2. Proceed with caution while in unfamiliar surroundings;
there could be hidden hazards such as electricity or
other utility lines.
3. The assembly power tool is not intended for use in
potentially explosive environments.
4. Tool is not insulated against contact with electrical
power.
5. Ensure there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc.,
which can cause a hazard if damaged by use of the
tool.
VII. NOISE HAZARDS:
1. Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent,
disabling hearing loss and other problems such
as tinnitus, therefore risk assessment and the
implementation of proper controls is essential.

X. HYDRAULIC TOOL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
A
WARNING: Do
not exceed maximum
pull
or
� retum settings on tool.
1. Carry out a daily check for damaged or worn hoses or
hydraulic connections and replace if necessary.
2. Wipe all couplers clean before connecting. Failure to do
so can result in damage to the quick couplers and cause
overheating.
3. Ensure that couplings are clean and correctly engaged
before operation.
4. Use only clean oil and filling equipment.
5. Power units require a free flow of air for cooling
purposes and should therefore be positioned in a well
ventilated area free from hazardous fumes.
6. Do not inspect or clean the tool while the hydraulic
power source is connected. Accidental engagement of
the tool can cause serious injury.
7. Be sure all hose connections are tight.
8. Wipe all couplers clean before connecting. Failure to do
