2. Safety
This section of the operating instructions presents a comprehensive overview of all
important safety aspects for optimal protection of the operating personnel as well as safe,
trouble-free operation.
Non-observance of the handling and safety instructions presented in these Operating
Instructions can result in serious dangers.
2.1 Intended Use
The hydraulic battery tools are designed and tested exclusively for the intended
applications described here. All other activities are fundamentally prohibited.
All battery tools are designed as one-person tool and are therefore to be operated by only
one person.
Cutters (SC198, SC198NXT GEN, SC240, SC240NXT GEN, SC385, F7)
Spreaders (S44, S49, S54)
• The battery-powered cutting tools are used exclusively for cutting doors, roof
beams, pillars, door sills, the ring and the spokes of the steering wheel.
• If possible, for cutting solid material, always use the rear part of the cutter blades
as it is equipped with special edges for cutting round material.
• In industrial application, the equipment can also be used to cut pipes, structural
steels, proles, sheets and cables.
• The battery-powered spreading tools can be used for opening doors, lifting
vehicles or other moveable loads, pushing away and moving vehicle parts and
loads, and squeezing pipes and tie bars.
• If possible, always use the tips of the spreader for squeezing.
• The spreader tips can also be used as a peeling tool.
• The chain set is solely to be used for pulling.

SAFETY
Combi Tools (11C/11CRIT, 14C, 15C, 17C, 19C)
Rescue Rams (21-36, 22-54)
Accessories - Chain Sets
• The battery-powered combi tools may be used for the specied purposes
of both the cutters and the spreaders. The spreader tips can also be used
as a peeling tool.
• The tools are used to lift and push up steering columns, vehicle roofs and
other vehicle parts.
• In addition, under certain conditions and while exercising particular care,
rescue rams can be used for support, lifting and stiffening.
• Spreaders and combi tools may only be used with the appropriate chain
set and pulling device. Pulling chains are exclusively for pulling away
obstacles and loads and for enlarging openings to free trapped persons.
NOTE!
All SLi equipment (cutters, spreaders, combi tools and rescue rams)
are intended for use in the professional or industrial sector and not for
private use!
i
WARNING!
Danger caused by improper use!
Any use other than intended use and/or other type of use of the tool can
cause dangerous situations!
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to:
• Only use the tool for the intended uses described above.
• Observe all other information regarding proper use of the
tools in Chapter 5 (Possible Uses).

connections and channels used can be found in section 4.7.
2.2 Operator Responsibility
In addition to the occupational safety information in these operating instructions, the health and
safety, accident prevention and environmental prevention, guidelines and regulations applicable
to the operation site of the equipment must also be observed. Thereby, the following applies in
particular:
The operator is also responsible for ensuring that the equipment is always in a technically
awless condition. Therefore, the following applies:
• The operator must educate themselves regarding the applicable occupational
• safety regulations and carry out a risk assessment to identfy additional dangers
• arising from the special work conditions at the operation site of the tool.
• The operator must clearly regulate and determine responsibility for installation,
maintenance and cleaning.
• The operator must ensure that all persons engaged with the tool have completely
read and understood the operating instructions.
• Furthermore, they must train the personnel at regular intervals and inform them of
the dangers associated with handling the tool.
• After each time the equipment is used, or at least once a year, a visual inspection
of the tool by an instructed person is required (per DGUV guideline 305-002 or
country-specic rules).
• Every three years, or whenever a doubt is rasied about the safety or reliability of the
tool, a function and load test must also be carried out (per DGUV guideline 305-002
or country-specic regulations).
• After each use or at least once a year, check the seal on the battery cover and the
housing in the sealing area for cracks and damage. Lubricate the seal with colorless
lubricant WD40 or MegaÖl Plus with PTM.
• The tool must be tested for leaks at least once a year or if there is any doubt about its
reliability.

2.4 Personal Protective Equipment
To minimize danger for the operating personnel, wearing personal protectice equipment (PPE)
when handling the hydraulic rescue equipment is absolutely mandatory.
As a matter of principle, always wear the following protective clothing for all work:
Safety Work Clothing
Only wear closely tting work clothing with narrow sleeves and
without protruding pieces while working. This is primarily for
protection against entanglement in moving parts of the equipment.
Safety Shoes
Always wear steel-capped safety shoes to protect against falling
objects and slipping on slippery surfaces.

2.5 Particular Hazards
The dangers resulting from the risk assessment are presented in the following section.
To minimize potential health hazards and prevent dangerous situations, the safety
instructions listed below and the warning instructions in the following chapters of these
Operating Instructions must be observed.
Electrical Current
DANGER!
Danger of death due to electrical current!
There is an immediate danger of death if live parts are touched. Damage to
insulation or individual components can be life-threatening.
Therefore:
• If the insulation is damaged, immediately disconnect the power
supply and arrange for repairs.
• Only allow electricians to carry out work on the electrical system.
• When any work is being carried out on the electrical system, it must
be disconnected from the main supply and checked to ensure that it
is not live.
• Before carrying out maintenance, cleaning or repair work, the
power supply must be switched off and secured to prevent it from
being switched on again.
• Do not bypass or shut down any fuses. Use fuses with the correct
amperage when replacing.
• Keep live parts away from moisture. This can cause a short circuit.
WARNING!
The use of SLi tools in potentially explosive atmosphere is prohibited.
