When connecting/ disconnecting the machine to / from the hydraulic supply, please pay careful attention not to
actuate the start lever while doing so. Never remove a pressurized hydraulic hose.
Always switch the power supply off first and then depressurize the machine by pressing the valve latch. The
maximum operation pressure according to the technical specification must not be exceeded. A pressure regulator has
to be installed, which regulates the pressure before it reaches the machine. Never direct a hydraulic hose at yourself or
anyone else. Do not pull or carry the machine by the hydraulic hose.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREVENTION OF OPERATING HAZARDS
Before beginning work make sure that the hands are protected from the following hazards whilst working with the
machine: impacts, crushing, cuts, abrasions and heat.
The operating and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle the bulk, weight, power and/or torque of
the machine.
Do not use the machine if you have taken any medication or drugs, after drinking alcohol or with any other
constraints on your vision, reaction time or judgment. Work in the best possible position so that you can react with both
hands to any normal or unexpected movements of the machine.
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing in order to avoid improper strain and to be able to support the
reaction torque of the machine.
If you cannot support the reaction torque of the machine independently then use a torque support (e.g. linear stand,
telescopic arm, holding fixture/ holder-on, support grip).

- Only operate the machine after having carefully read the instruction booklet.
- Only skilled persons are allowed to the grinding tool.
