Before using equipment:
1. Only Huck Installation Equipment
should be used to install Huck fasteners.
2. Only persons that have received
training approved by Huck International
Ltd should use Huck Installation
Equipment.
3. The Manuals and/or Data sheets and
warning stickers/labels supplied with the
Installation equipment should be studied
before connecting the equipment to any
primary power supply, in particular the
following sections:
Warnings and Cautions.
Specifications
Electrical and/or Air supply.
Principals of Operation.
Preparation for use.
Regular use.
Regular maintenance.
4. W ith hydraulic tooling, ensure that it is
suitable for use with the Huck Powerig or
Huck approved hand pump being used.
5. 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.
6. Check that the Nose Assembly is of the
correct type suitable for installing the
fastener being used.
7. V isually 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.
Huck Fastening Systems
Safety Guidelines when using Huck Installation Equipment to install Huck Fasteners.
8. Do not connect any equipment to
primary power supplies or attempt to use
any equipment, that shows signs of
damage or leakage.
9. 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:
10. 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.
11. It is recommended that eye protection,
(eg. safety glasses), should be worn by
the operator.
12. Never look directly at the front or rear
of the installation tool.
13. Never hold the Installation Tool around
the Nose Assembly.
14. Keep hands/fingers clear of any
moving parts and also apertures in Nose
Assemblies.
15. W arning
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.
16. When using two piece fasteners, (ie.
Pin and Collar type), the
conical/chamfered end of the collar MUST
always be towards the Nose assembly,
NOT against the work piece.
