18) With hydraulic tooling, ensure that it is
suitable for use with the Huck Powerig or
Huck approved hand pump being used.
19) Check that the Powerig or approved
hand pump "Pull" and "Return" pressures
have been adjusted to suit the tool
being used. Reference must be made to
the instruction manual supplied with the
equipment.
20) Check that the Nose Assembly is of
the correct type suitable for installing the
fastener being used.
21) Visually check all pneumatic and/or
hydraulic hoses, electrical cables,
Powerigs, hand pumps and hand tools, for
any visible signs of damage and leakage.
ALL HYDRAULIC HOSES SHOULD BE
RENEWED EVERY FIVE YEARS.
22) Do not connect any equipment to
primary power supplies or attempt to use
any equipment, that shows signs of
damage or leakage.
23) Ensure that all air and/or hydraulic
hose and/or electrical plugs/connectors
are correctly connected before switching
on supply to equipment.
When operating the equipment:
24) When using fasteners in some types
of structure, the fracturing of the pintail
during installation may generate noise
levels above the first action level of the
Noise at Work Regulations and therefore
hearing protection must be worn.
25) It is recommended that eye protection,
(e.g.. safety glasses), should be worn by
the operator.
26) Never look directly at the front or rear
of the installation tool.
27) Never hold the Installation Tool around
the Nose Assembly.
28) Keep hands/fingers clear of any
moving parts and also apertures in Nose
Assemblies.
29) Warning
Fasteners should only ever be installed in
the actual workpiece to prevent possible
high velocity ejection from the Nose
Assembly due to tensile forces induced
during pintail fracture.
30) When using two piece fasteners, (i.e..
Pin and Collar type), the
conical/chamfered end of the collar UST
always be towards the Nose assembly,
NOT against the work piece.
31) Keep fingers clear from the underside
of the head, collars and blind side of
fasteners and from within the joint being
fastened, during the installation cycle.
32) Do not look directly at the head or
blind side of fasteners during the
installation cycle.
33) During the installation cycle, the tool
will pull and straighten itself to the axis of
the fastener, beware of hands being
trapped against any nearby structure.
KEEP HANDS CLEAR
34) In the event of any difficulty whilst
installing a fastener, releasing the tool
trigger at any time during the installation
