Original Instructions
6 Operation
DANGER Risk of death due to a failure to adhere
to the safety clearance
A failure to adhere to the safety clearance during cutting
operations can result in severe injuries and even death.
u Ensure that no persons are within a distance of 15m
(50ft) during cutting work .
u Ensure that no persons are within a distance of 50m
(165ft) during cutting work on reinforced steel.
u Immediately shut down the carrier with the drum cut-
ter, if a person accesses the hazardous area during
cutting work.
u Only switch on the carrier with the drum cutter once
certain that no persons are located in the hazardous
area.
WARNING Hot hydraulic oil squirting out
The hydraulic system is under high pressure. If hydraulic
connections come loose, hydraulic oil will squirt out un-
der high pressure. Hydraulic oil squirting out can lead to
serious injury.
u Immediately switch off the hydraulic attachment and
the carrier if you detect any leaks in the hydraulic cir-
cuits.
u Depressurise the hydraulic system (see chapter De-
pressurising the hydraulic system).
u Repair any leaks before operating the hydraulic at-
tachment again.
WARNING Injuries due to moving parts
The rotating cutter drums can cause severe injuries.
u When operating the drum cutter always maintain a
safety distance of at least 15m (50ft).
u During operation do not reach into moving parts or
handle moving parts.
u Observe run-on time: Before touching the drum cut-
ter ensure that no parts are still moving.
u When in the hazardous area wear closely fitting
clothes with a minimal tear strength.
WARNING Hot parts
The cutter drums, hoses, pipes and fittings become very
hot during operation. Touching them may lead to burns.
u Never touch hot parts.
u If you have to carry out activities where you have to
touch the parts, wait for them to cool down first.
WARNING Lung disease
When cutting with the drum cutter, dust harmful to health
is generated. Inhaled dust can result in long-term lung
damage or have other effects on health.
u When working in close proximity to the cutting work
always wear light respiratory protection.
u Always keep the doors to the carrier closed.
WARNING Injuries due to severe vibrations
Strong vibrations can result in the long-term in significant
injuries and chronic damage to health.
u Drive the carrier with an even load whenever possi-
ble, in order to minimise vibrations produced.
u Avoid abrupt starting up or stopping of the cutter
drums.
NOTICE Hydraulic oil too hot
The temperature of the hydraulic oil must not exceed
80°C (176°F). Exceeding the hydraulic oil temperature
of 80°C (176°F) leads to hydraulic motor failure.
u The temperature of the hydraulic oil must be moni-
tored, especially in continuous operation.
u Shut off the carrier and the hydraulic attachment if
you measure an increased temperature in the tank.
u Check the hydraulic installation and the pressure re-
lief valve.
NOTICE Environmental damage due to hydraulic oil
Hydraulic oil is environmentally harmful and must not
penetrate the ground or enter the water table or water
supplies.
u Collect any hydraulic oil which escapes.
u Dispose of it in accordance with the applicable envi-
ronmental regulations.
