e. Are not taking medication that can impair judgment,
reaction times, mobility, alertness or otherwise cause
negative side effects.
Persons who fail to meet any of these requirements are
not qualified to use the equipment or handle blades.
Wear protective gloves when working with the
equipment or handling blades. Risk of cutting
injuries when handling blades. Blades and
engine can be hot immediately after sawing.
Wear approved hearing protection when
operating the equipment. Hearing can
be permanently impaired after only short
exposure to high-frequency sounds.
Wear approved close-fitting safety goggles
when working with the equipment or handling
blades.
Wear approved protective footwear with saw
protection, steel toe-cap and non-slip sole
when working with the equipment or handling
blades.
Wear full-length protective pants when working
with the equipment or handling blades. Never
wear loose-fitting clothing, scarves, jewelery
or similar long items that can get caught when
working with the equipment. Always secure loose hair
before working with the equipment.
Wear respiration protection when working
with the equipment. Long term inhalation of
sawdust and the engine’s exhaust fumes can
represent a health risk.
Many hydraulic operation fluids are flammable, so
do not use open flame and do not perform welding
in the vicinity of hydraulic devices and equipment.
Failure to follow this precaution creates the risk of
fire.
Do not exceed the operational limitations of the
system. Failure to do so can cause an accident or
injury.
Before each use, check for electrical wire damage
and replace if necessary
Before each use, check for damage to hydraulic
hoses and hydraulic components, loose fittings and
signs of leaks.
To avoid personal injury, keep hands and feet away
from cylinders and work pieces during operation.
Never set the relief valve to a higher pressure than
the maximum rated pressure of the pump (2500 psi
or 172 bars). Higher settings may result in equipment
damage and/or personal injury. Do not remove relief
valve.
Do not handle pressurized hoses. Escaping oil under
pressure can penetrate the skin, causing serious
injury. If oil is injected under the skin, contact a
physician immediately.
Before replacing the hydraulic operating fluid, allow
the fluid in the system to cool sufficiently. Hot fluid
creates the risk of burn injury.
Should you ever notice abnormal noise, abnormal
heat, abnormal vibration, leaking oil, smoke,
abnormal odor, or any other abnormal operation
in a valve, pump, or motor, immediately shut down
operation and take the necessary steps to correct
the condition. Continued use under the above
conditions creates the risk of damage, fire, and
personal injury
Always stay behind the sawhead after the engine is
started.
Always keep remote control wires clear of the
sawmill, including carriage and sawhead.
Do not exceed equipment rating. Overloading causes
equipment failure and possible injury. The pump is
designed for a maximum pressure of 2500 psi (172
bars).
Avoid damaging hydraulic hoses. Avoid sharp bends
and kinks when routing hydraulic hoses. Using a
bent or kinked hose will cause severe back pressure.
Sharp bends and kinks will internally damage the
hose leading to premature hose failure.
Do not lift hydraulic equipment by the hoses or swivel
couplers.
Use the proper type of hydraulic operating fluid,
ensuring that fluid temperature, viscosity,
contaminant level, and other factor are all within
prescribed ranges. Using hydraulic operating fluid
outside of its prescribed ranges creates the risk of
fire due to operational problems, mechanical
damage, and fluid leaks.
Before each use, check the fluid temperature, fluid
level and fluid color (for discoloration and
deterioration). Any abnormalities create the risk of
malfunction and breakdown.
Whitish fluid indicates that water has contaminated
the fluid, and blackish fluid indicates that the fluid
has been subjected to high temperatures. Replace
the operating fluid whenever these symptoms are
noticed.
Make sure to avoid splashing hydraulic operating
fluid on you or others. Should fluid get on your skin,
wash the area thoroughly with soap and water.
Allowing hydraulic operating fluid to remain on the
skin creates the risk of skin irritation.
EN–2

Never attempt any unauthorized modifications of the
hydraulic systems.
Whenever changing to another type of hydraulic
operating fluid, be sure to thoroughly flush out the
interior of the circuit. Never mix hydraulic operating
fluids of different types. Continued use creates the
risk of malfunction of, and damage to, the equipment.
Allowing the hydraulic operating fluid level in the tank
to become too low creates the risk of malfunction
and breakdown.
Always check hydraulic devices for looseness of
internal components that may have occurred during
transport and check to make sure that all
components are fitted securely.
Wipe up any hydraulic operating fluid that gets on
the product or floor. Failure to do so creates the risk
of personal injury due to the product slipping out of
your hand and falling, and due to someone slipping
on the fluid left on the floor.
Valve, pump and motor casing can become very hot
during operation. Do not touch them.
Never climb onto, strike, tip over, or apply excessive
force to a product. Doing so creates the risk of
malfunction, damage, fluid leaks, etc.
Never allow cutting oil, grinding oil, clippings, water
or other similar matter to get on or in hydraulic
devices.
Make sure installation holes and surfaces are clean.
Insufficient bolt tightening torque can allow fluid
leaks.
Always make sure to release all residual pressure
before starting disassembly work. Performing
disassembly work without releasing residual
pressure creates the risk of accident due to spurting
fluid, actuator free running, or dropping, and also
creates the risk of malfunction and breakdown.
For optimum performance, do not expose equipment
to temperature of 65 °C (150 °F) or higher.
If the system will not be operated for long periods, be
sure to take proper anti-rust measures.
Not operating the system for long periods without
taking anti-rust measures creates the risk of
malfunction and breakdown due to rust.
Be sure to flush the system before using it again
after long periods of non-use. Failure to flush out
rust inhibitors creates the risk of malfunction and
breakdown.
Seals may need to be replaced before using a
product for the first time after long storage.

Portez un masque de protection des
voies respiratoires lors de l’utilisation de
l’équipement. L’aspiration de la sciure et des
gaz d’échappement du moteur peut être un
risque pour la santé à long terme.
Plusieurs fluides hydrauliques sont inflammables;
il ne faut donc pas utiliser de flamme nue et ne pas
effectuer de soudage dans les environs de dispositifs
et d’équipements hydrauliques. Tout manquement
à suivre cette précaution pourrait créer des risques
d’incendie.
Ne dépassez jamais les limites opérationnelles du
système. Tout manquement de suivre cette directive
risque de causer des accidents ou des blessures.
Avant chaque utilisation, vérifiez si des fils
électriques sont endommagés et remplacez-les au
besoin.
Avant chaque utilisation, vérifiez si des tuyaux
hydrauliques et des composants hydrauliques sont
endommagés, si des raccords sont lâches et la
présence de signes de fuite.
Pour éviter les blessures, gardez les mains et les
pieds éloignés des cylindres et des pièces pendant
le fonctionnement.
Ne réglez jamais la soupape de sûreté à une
pression supérieure à la pression nominale
maximale de la pompe (2500 psi ou 172 bar).
Des réglages plus élevés peuvent entraîner des
dommages matériels et des blessures corporelles.
N’enlevez pas la soupape de sûreté.
Ne manipulez pas les tuyaux sous pression. Une
fuite d’huile sous pression peut pénétrer dans la
peau et provoquer ainsi des blessures graves.
Si de l’huile est injectée sous la peau, contactez
immédiatement un médecin.
Avant de remplacer le fluide hydraulique, laissez le
liquide refroidir suffisamment dans le système. Le
fluide chaud crée un risque de brûlure.
Si vous remarquez un bruit, de la chaleur et des
vibrations anormaux, des fuites d’huile, de la fumée,

Ne dépassez pas la puissance nominale de
l’appareil. Une surcharge pourrait provoquer une
défaillance de l’équipement et des blessures. La
pompe est conçue pour une pression maximale de
2500 psi (172 bar).
Évitez d’endommager les tuyaux hydrauliques.
Évitez les plis et coudes prononcés lors de
l’installation des tuyaux hydrauliques. Un tuyau plié
ou tordu entraînera une forte contre-pression. Les
plis et coudes prononcés endommageront la partie
interne du tuyau entraînant une défaillance
prématurée du tuyau.
Ne soulevez pas l’équipement hydraulique à l’aide
des tuyaux ou des raccords pivotants.
Utilisez le type de fluide hydraulique approprié en
veillant à ce que la température du fluide, la
viscosité, le niveau de contaminants et d’autres
facteurs se trouvent dans les fourchettes prescrites.
L’utilisation d’un fluide hydraulique en dehors des
plages prescrites crée un risque d’incendie en raison
de problèmes opérationnels, dommages mécaniques
et des fuites de fluide.
