parts. Using non-OEM parts may compromise the safety of the machine.
Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry, radio belts, etc., when operating, working on or near this equipment.
They can be caught in moving parts and may result in severe injury.
Always wear appropriate personal protective clothing when operating this equipment: e.g., orange safety
vest, hard hat, safety glasses with side shields, hearing protection, steel-toed safety boots, leather gloves,
dust respirator, etc.
Always lift heavy objects with the knees and legs, not the arms and back.
Always keep hands, arms, feet, head, clothing, etc., out of the operating area and away from all rotating
or moving components when operating, working on or near this machine.
Always make sure that all guards, covers, belts, hoses, and operating components are in good working
order and that all controls are in the appropriate position before starting the engine.
Always make sure that all safety equipment installed properly and are in good working order. Do not
operate the machine until unsafe conditions have been corrected.
Always operate in a well-ventilated area and make sure that the air filters, air filter covers, and muffler
are in good condition.
Always keep the machine clean and free of debris. Operate the machine in a safe and responsible
manner. Exercise caution when fueling, working on or near rotating or moving components, hot
components, and fuel systems. Be aware of potential fire hazards and prevent sparks, exhaust, etc., from
starting fires on the machine and/or work area.
Always comply with all instructions provided on any decals or placards installed on the machine and with
any relevant amplifying information provided in this manual or other general operating procedures.

Always shut disconnect the drill from the power source and make sure that all controls are in a safe
position and install all appropriate locking and safety devices before doing any of the following:
•Lubricating
•Adjusting
•Installing Tooling
•Making Repairs
•Performing Service
Tools are not insulated for use on or near energized conductors. Use of
these tools near energized conductors may lead to electrical shock, causing
severe injury or death.
Do not use these tools near energized conductors without adequately insulating
operator and surroundings.
Tool parts rotate at high speeds and can cause severe personal injury. Keep all
body parts away from moving parts of the tool when connected to a hydraulic
power source or during operation.
Operator must clear all bystanders from the work area when handling, starting,
and operating a tool to avoid injury to bystanders.
Do not over-reach while using a tool. Loss of balance can cause serious
personal injury or death. Move closer to work area and securely support yourself
and your work. Always keep proper footing and balance.
Hydraulic fluid is under pressure.
Always depressurize the hydraulic system before connecting or disconnecting a
tool to avoid serious injury from escaping fluid. If injury results from escaping
hydraulic fluid, seek immediate medical attention to avoid serious bodily injury.
Hot hydraulic fluid.
Exposure to hot hydraulic fluid can cause severe burns. Do NOT connect or
disconnect a tool while the hydraulic power source is running and/or the
hydraulic fluid is hot.
Never lock a tool trigger in the power ON position. A tool locked ON can lead
to serious injury or death

Sufficient oil cooling is recommended to limit the system fluid temperature.
Maximum flow must not exceed the recommended rate as noted on the tool specification label. Install a
flow meter in the return line to test the rate of all flow in the system before working the tool.
Operating pressure at the tool must not exceed 2000 lbs/in2 (18.8 MPa). The system relief valve must be
located in the supply circuit between the hydraulic power source and the tool to limit pressure to the tool.

Hose Requirements
It is not often necessary or advisable to use long hoses. All hoses must have an oil resistant inner surface
and an abrasion resistant outer surface. Each hose must have male pipe ends for most application.
Longer hoses can be used when necessary but can affect the operation of the tool due to resistance in
the hose.
If small diameter or long hoses are used, or if restrictive fittings are connected to the supply and return
ports, the pressure required to push the fluid through the system and back to the tank will be higher. This
will reduce tool power.
Important: Oil should always flow from the male coupler through the female coupler.
Note: The pressure increases in uncoupled hoses left in the sun. This may make them difficult to
connect. When possible after use, connect the free ends of the operating hoses together.
Hose Types
Hydraulic hose types authorized for use with the tool are:
1. Labeled and certified non-conductive.
•This is the only hose authorized for use near electrical conductors.
•Constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic fiber braid reinforcement,
and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover.
2. Wire braided (conductive)
•This hose is conductive and must never be used near electrical conductors.
•Constructed of synthetic rubber inner tube, single or double wire braid reinforcement, and
weather resistant synthetic rubber cover
3. Fiber braided (not certified or labeled non-conductive)
•This hose is conductive and must never be used near electrical conductors.
•Constructed of thermoplastic or synthetic rubber inner tube, synthetic fiber braid reinforcement,
and weather resistant thermoplastic or synthetic rubber cover.
The rated working pressure of the hydraulic hose must be at least 175 bar (2500 psi).
