Theequipmentislledwith
hydraulicuid.Thishydraulic
uidcanbedetrimentalto
healthifitisswallowedor
itsvaporisinhaled.Direct
contactwiththeskinmust
beavoidedforthesame
reason.Also,whenhandling
hydraulicuid,notethatitcan
negativelya󰀨ectbiological
systems.
Whenworkingwithorstoring
theequipment,ensurethat
thefunctionandthesafety
oftheequipmentarenot
impairedbythee󰀨ectsof
severeexternaltemperatures
andthattheequipmentisnot
damagedinanyway.Please
notethattheequipmentcan
alsoheatupoveralong
periodofuse.
Makesurethatthereis
adequatelightingwhile
working.
Beforetransportingthe

thattheaccessoriesare
positionedinsuchaway
thattheycannotcausean
accident.
Alwayskeeptheseoperating
instructionseasilyaccessible
attheplaceofoperation.
Ensuretheproperdisposalof
allremovedparts,left-overoil
andhydraulicuidaswellas
packagingmaterials!
TheeDRAULICdeviceshave
anIP54protectionclass.
Theyaresuitableforusein
wetweatherconditionsand
aresplashproof.
TheeDRAULICdevicesare
notsuitableforunderwater
use.
Pleaseensurethatyoudonot
becomeentangledincables
andtripwhenworkingwithor
transportingthedevice.
Pleaseensurethatthe
batterycontactsarenotshort-
circuited.
Thebuild-upofstaticcharges
andthereforepossible
sparkingmustbeavoided
whenhandlingthedevice.
Onlytouchbroken-o󰀨or
cut-o󰀨partswhilewearing
protectivegloves,asthetorn/
cutedgescanbeverysharp.

3. Proper use
LUKASeDRAULICdeviceshavebeenspeciallydesignedtorescueorretrievethebodies
of victims of road, rail or aircraft accidents or to be used during rescue operations from
buildings.LUKASeDRAULICcuttingdevicesareusedtofreeinjuredpersonsataccident
scenesbycuttingthroughdoors,roofbeamsandhinges.
LUKASeDRAULICdevicesareNOTsuitableforunderwateruse.
The generally applicable, legal and other binding national and international regulations
pertainingtothepreventionofaccidentsandprotectionoftheenvironmentapplyandareto
beimplementedinadditiontotheoperatinginstructions.
WARNING / CAUTION / ATTENTION!
Thedeviceisintendedexclusively forthepurposestatedintheoperatinginstructions(see
chapter"ProperUse").Any other use is not in accordance with its designated purpose.
Themanufacturer/supplierisnotliableforanydamageresultingfromimproperuse.Theuser
bearssoleresponsibilityforsuchuse.
Proper use includes observance of the operating instructions and compliance with the
inspectionandmaintenanceconditions.
Never work in a fatigued or intoxicated state!
CAUTION / PLEASE NOTE!
Caremustalwaysbetakenthattheenvironmentoftheobjecttobeprocessed
remainsstableandsecuredagainstunintentionalshiftingbyusingstrongsupports
orunderpinning.

WARNING / CAUTION / PLEASE NOTE!
Thefollowingmaynotbecut/squeezed:
- live cables
- prestressed and hardened parts such as springs, spring steels,
steeringcolumnsandrollers
 - pipesundergasorliquidpressure,
 - compoundmaterials(steel/concrete)
 - explosivebodiessuchasairbagcartridges
Theoperatingpressureplacedontherescuedevicemayonlybedirectlychanged
after consultation with LUKAS.A change in settings may result in damage to
propertyand/orinjuries.
LUKASeDRAULICdevicesarenotexplosion-protected!
When using the devices in potentially explosive environment, the following
mustbeexcluded:
 - thatthedevicecouldtriggeranexplosion.
 - thatworkingwiththedevicecouldtriggeranexplosion;e.g.sparksmayresult
fromcuttinganobject.
TheresponsibilityforexplosionpreventionorforrulingoutworkwithaneDRAULIC
devicewiththeoperatorofthedeviceorwiththepersonresponsibleattheplace
ofuse.
When working in areas at risk of explosion, all applicable legal,
national and international regulations, standards and safety rules
for avoiding explosions must be observed without restriction!
Therescueequipmentshouldnotcomeintocontactwithacidsoralkalies.Ifthis
is unavoidable, clean the equipment immediately afterwards with a suitable
cleaningagent.
You can obtain accessories and replacement parts for the rescue devices from your
authorizedLUKASdealer!

4. Functional description
4.1 Description
Thecuttingdeviceshavebeendesignedinsuchawaythatahydraulicallyoperatedpiston
activatesmechanicaljointssymmetricallytoopenorcloseasetoftwooppositebladearms,
thusenablingobjectstobecut.
Foralldevices,themovementisactivatedbymeansofavalveintheformofastargrip.
Alldevicesguaranteethedeadman'sswitchandthefullload-supportingfunctionwhenthe
stargripisreleased.
LUKASeDRAULICdevicesdonotneedtobeconnectedtoanexternalhydraulicsource
(e.g.amotorpump).Generationoftherequiredhydraulicpressuretakesplacewithinthe
bodyofthedevice.
Eitherabatteryoranexternalpowersupplymustbeconnectedasanenergysource.
Youcanchoosewhichenergysourceyouwishtouse.Boththeaccumulatorbatteryand
themainspowerunitcanbeinsertedintotheopeningprovidedinthebodyofthetool.
Theyarethenautomaticallylockedintoposition.
YoucanextendtheoperatingtimeofyoureDRAULICdevicebyusingseveralbatteries.
Thebatteriescanberechargedafteruse,usingasuitableexternalcharger.
Ifyouaremakinguseofanexternalpowersupply,thedevicecanbeusedforanalmost
unlimitedtime.Thistimeisonlylimitedbytheexternalenergysourceandtheoverheating
switchofthepowersupply.
ToallowyoutoselectthebestpossibleenergysupplyforyoureDRAULICdevice,neither
thebatterynorthepowersupplyformpartofthedeliveryscope.Youwillndsuitablebat-
teriesandpowersuppliesintheLUKASaccessorieslist.
eDRAULICdevicescomewithstandardlightttingstofacilitateworkunderpoorlight
conditions.
Thelight-emittingdiodesattachedontheoperatingsidelightuptheworkarea.The
mainswitchhasalsobeenequippedwitharinglight,sothatyoucanimmediatelydetect
whetherthedeviceisswitchedonornot.Whenexchangingthebatteryorpowersupply,
theconnectionslotwilllightupforapproximately30seconds.
