OPERATOR SAFETY/WARNINGS
0038
Tool operators must always comply with the safety precautions listed here and on the stickers and tags attached to the tool and
hose.
These safety precautions are given for your safety. Review them carefully before operating the tool and before performing
general maintenance or repairs. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING
Operator must start in a work area without bystanders. The operator must be familiar with all
prohibited work areas such as excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.
Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, head protection, and safety shoes at all times when
operating the tool.
Do not inspect or clean the tool while the hydraulic power source is connected. Accidental
engagement of the tool can cause serious injury.
Do not operate this tool without first reading the Operating Instructions.
Do not install or remove this tool while the hydraulic power source is connected. Accidental
engagement of the tool can cause serious injury.
Never operate the tool if you cannot be sure that underground utilities are not present. Underground
electrical utilities present an electrocution hazard. Underground gas utilities present an explosion
hazard. Other underground utilities may present other hazards.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing when operating the tool. Loose fitting clothing can get entangled
with the tool and cause serious injury.
Be sure all hose connections are tight.
The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the OFF position when coupling or uncoupling the
tool. Wipe all couplers clean before connecting. Failure to do so may result in damage to the quick
couplers and cause overheating. Use only lint-free cloths.
Do not operate the tool at oil temperatures above 140F (60C). Operation at higher oil
temperatures can cause operator discomfort and may cause damage to the tool.
Do not operate a damaged, improperly adjusted, or incompletely assembled tool.
To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, all tool repair, maintenance, and service must only
be performed by authorized and properly trained personnel.
Do not exceed the rated limits of the tool or use the tool for applications beyond its design capacity.
Always keep critical tool markings, such as labels and warning stickers legible.
Always replace parts with replacement parts recommended by Stanley Hydraulic Tools.
Check fastener tightness often and before each use daily.
Failure to follow these warnings may result in injury or death to personnel.
