SAFETY
Read all safety warnings, instructions provided with this tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a hydraulic tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
hydraulic tool. Do not use a hydraulic tool while you are tired or under the inuence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while using hydraulic tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as rubber gloves, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of hydraulic tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
SERVICE
• Have your tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the hydraulic tool is maintained.
