6 Use
6.1 General
The equipment of a rescue system must always be ready for use. That means the equipment must be
checked and inspected directly after use, before it is put away.
WARNING
Make sure you are up to date on all safety regulations and that you have mastered the use of
all equipment of the system you are going to work with.
Never try to connect or disconnect hydraulic couplers if the equipment is being used or if the
system is under pressure.
CAUTION
Prevent kinking: Do not use the hose with damaged bend restrictors and do not bend the
hose beyond the minimum bending radius of 75 mm.
Do not pull the hose to move a tool or a pump.
6.2 Connecting the hydraulic hose(s)
The actions for connecting the hydraulic hose(s) are described in chapter 5.
• Connect the hydraulic hose(s) to the tool and the pump.
• Start the pump.
The system is now ready for use.
6.3 Tool movement
The cutting blades open and close relatively quickly until they encounter resistance. Then the pump will
build up the required pressure for spreading, cutting, pulling or squeezing.
WARNING
Take extreme care during tool movement. Because of the enormous power of the tool parts
of the body can easily be crushed or pinched.
6.4 Cutting
Refer to Fig. 8 and Fig. 9.
CAUTION
Do not cut hardened fastenings, bolts, etc. because this can damage the blades.
• Open the blades.
• Place the tool with opened blades perpendicular to the object to be cut.
• Place the object to be cut as deeply as possible in the cutting opening.
• Close the blades.
WARNING
Stop immediately if the blades are out of line. Danger of serious injury and of serious damage
to the equipment.
