Original Instructions
2.10 Media/consumables,
precautions
WARNING Hot hydraulic oil under high pressure
Hydraulic oil will squirt out under high pressure if there is
a leakage. The jet of oil might penetrate people's skin
and cause permanent damage. Hot hydraulic oil can
cause burns.
u Never use your hands to find leaks.
u Always keep your face away from a possible leak.
u If hydraulic oil has penetrated your skin consult a
doctor immediately.
WARNING Hydraulic oil spills
Spilt hydraulic oil can make a floor slippery. If people slip
they can be injured. Hydraulic oil is environmentally
harmful and must not penetrate the ground or enter the
water table or water supplies.
u Make sure not to spill any hydraulic oil.
u Immediately clean the floor if you have spilt hydraulic
oil.
u Observe all safety and environmental protection pro-
visions when handling hydraulic oil.
WARNING Skin infections/diseases due to oil and
grease
Hydraulic oil and grease can cause rashes (or even
eczema) if they come into contact with the skin.
u Avoid all skin contact with hydraulic oil and grease.
u Use a suitable skin protection product.
u Always wear safety gloves when working with hy-
draulic oil or grease.
u Immediately clean any skin that has been contami-
nated by oil or grease with water and soap.
2.11 Explosion and fire,
precautions
DANGER Explosion and fire
Explosions cause serious injury or death. If the working
tool hits explosives, an explosion may be the result.
u Never operate the hydraulic breaker in the direct
vicinity of explosives.
u Make sure that no explosives are hidden in the rocks
and stones.
u Check gas line position plans of the entire construc-
tion area.
DANGER Explosion and fire
Operating the hydraulic breaker may create sparks
which ignite highly flammable gases. This may lead to
fire or an explosion.
u Never work in an environment with highly flammable
substances.
u Make sure that there are no hidden sources of gas in
the work area.
u Check gas line position plans of the entire construc-
tion area.
DANGER Explosion and fire
Dust-rich air can form an explosive atmosphere which
may ignite when operating the hydraulic breaker. This
may lead to fire or an explosion.
u Never use the hydraulic breaker in an explosive at-
mosphere.
u Always provide sufficient ventilation when working in
buildings or in a confined area.
WARNING Risk of explosion
If the hydraulic attachment is equipped with HATCON
explosion may occur when the contained lithium batter-
ies are penetrated by pieces of steel or reinforcing bars.
u Avoid impact of reinforcement, flying rocks or even
explosives on HATCON.
u Check the HATCON before operating.
