SAFETY RULES
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
MAKE SURE THAT THE TOOL OR CYLINDER YOU ARE ACTIVATING FROM THE KOLUBRA IS RATED TO
RESIST TO A PRESSURE OF 700 Bar OR TO THE PRESSURE YOU HAVE REGULATED FROM THE PACK
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE GENERAL SAFETY RULES AND HAVE TO BE RESPECTED IN
EVERY WORKS WITH POWER PACKS AND TOOLS. WE RECOMMEND TO FOLLOW THEM CAREFULLY IN
ORDER TO AVOID ACCIDENTS AND DAMAGES TO THE EQUIPMENT AND THINGS.
Wear ALWAYS the hard-helmet, safety goggles, gloves, safety shoes, ear protections and, when it
is prescribed, a dust musk.
Gloves are important to be worn because if the tool is damaged the high pressure oil can be
sprinkled out from cracks of the tool with a very armful effect on skin
Wear tight-fitting clothes and avoid operating with short trousers or t-shirts, or other bare parts of the
body. Pay attention to long loose hair, gather them to prevent they get in contact and trapped in
moving parts.
Before operating, PREPARE ALWAYS A WORKING PLAN that considers and foresees problems,
interruptions and avoids most of all dangerous situations. This little operation strategy, guarantees
safety and improves productivity
Place always the power pack in a plan level, in a sure and stable position protected from the traffic
and in a well visible position. Signal one’s position not to cause danger for oneself and others.
If the power pack is transported on vehicles, be sure that it is well positioned on board and it is
blocked on the loading platform for avoiding dangerous jerks, bumps or overturning.
Work only in good physical and mental conditions. Always pay the maximum attention!
Do not
work on unstable or adapted supports (such as oil cans, boxes, wheelbarrows, etc.). If you
need to work in elevated positions, use only stable and safe supports approved by the local safety
rules.
When you operate in difficult positions, do not reach out and never lean against the tool. Keep the
balance on your legs.
Be sure that the equipment is in perfect working conditions, without oil leaks.
Keep the protection devices always in good conditions and preserve the readability of the safety
stickers.
The working area must be examined and well-known to avoid unexpected situations. If you work
along roads, make well visible your position and warn the traffic by the use of signals, flashing lights,
or other prescribed road signs.
