Work safety

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Always check and mark out where gas pipes are routed.
Cutting close to gas pipes always entails danger. Make
sure that sparks are not caused when cutting in view of the
risk of explosion. Remain concentrated and focused on
the task. Carelessness can result in serious personal
injury or death.
• Do not use the machine in environments where there is a
risk of explosion.
• Make sure that no pipes or electrical wires are routed in
the work piece or in the working area.
• Make sure that electrical cables within the working area
are not live.
• Observe your surroundings to ensure that nothing can
affect your control of the machine.
• Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as dense
fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc. Working in
bad weather is tiring and can lead to dangerous
conditions, e.g. slippery surfaces.
• Do not use the machine in wet or humid surroundings,
close to water, in the rain or snow.
• Never start to work with the machine before the working
area is clear and you have a firm foothold.
WARNING! Do not wash the machine with
!
water, as water can enter the electrical
system or the engine and cause damage to
the machine or short circuit.

Personal safety

• Never use the machine if you are fatigued, while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything that
could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or
judgement.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure the ignition
switch is in the Stop position and the flow control is in
position 0.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
• Never work alone, always ensure there is another person
close at hand. Apart from being able to receive help to
assemble the machine, you can also get help if an
accident should occur.
• People and animals can distract you causing you to lose
control of the machine. For this reason, always remain
concentrated and focused on the task.

Transport

The safest way to move the hydraulic unit from a trailer to a
working area is to lift it using the lifting eye. Never attach lifting
devices to any other part of the machine. The other
components are not designed to withstand the full weight of
the hydraulic unit.
!
Make sure no one is standing under the hydraulic unit if it has
to be moved by hand up into or off a trailer or up and down a
slope.
IMPORTANT! Only use the lifting eye when
lifting the hydraulic unit.
