hydraulic oil.
► Wash hands after contact with hydraulic oil.

Operation, precautions

DANGER Explosion hazard
If an insertion tool comes into contact with explosives
or explosive gases, an explosion could occur. When
working on certain materials and when using certain
materials in machine parts, sparks and ignition can
occur. Explosions will lead to severe injuries or death.
► Never operate the machine in any explosive
environment.
Never use the machine near flammable materials,
►
fumes or dust.
► Make sure that there are no undetected sources
of gas or explosives.
WARNING Operating pressure
If the maximum operating pressure for the hydraulic
machine is exceeded, it can result in material
damage and personal injury.
Always run the hydraulic machine with the correct
►
operating pressure. See "Technical data".
WARNING Unexpected movements
The post is exposed to heavy strains when the
machine is used. If the post breaks or gets stuck,
there may be sudden and unexpected movement
that can cause injuries. Furthermore, losing your
balance or slipping may cause injury.
► When driving, make sure you are able to keep
safely balanced. Keep arms and legs clear of the
post. If a post breaks during operating, the post
driver with a projecting broken shank will suddenly
drop.
► Always inspect the equipment prior to use. Never
use the equipment if you suspect that it is
damaged.
Make sure that the handles are clean and free of
►
grease and oil.
If you suspect that the post has struck a hidden
►
object, stop the machine immediately. Make sure
there is no danger before continuing with the work.
► Never lean against the post driver in order not to
loose foothold, if the post should break by
accident, or if the pile suddenly sinks.

Safety and operating instructions
Never rest the post or the adaptor in a post driver
►
on your foot or against your body.
► Never strike or abuse the equipment.
Pay attention and look at what you are doing.

WARNING Dust and fume hazard
Dusts and/or fumes generated or dispersed when
using the machine may cause serious and permanent
respiratory disease, illness, or other bodily injury (for
example, silicosis or other irreversible lung disease
that can be fatal, cancer, birth defects, and/or skin
inflammation).
Some dusts and fumes created by drilling, breaking,
hammering, sawing, grinding and other construction
activities contain substances known to the State of
California and other authorities to cause respiratory
disease, cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of such substances are:
● Crystalline silica, cement, and other masonry
products.
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
●
rubber.
● Lead from lead-based paints.
Dust and fumes in the air can be invisible to the
naked eye, so do not rely on eye sight to determine
if there is dust or fumes in the air.
To reduce the risk of exposure to dust and fumes,
do all of the following:
Perform site-specific risk assessment. The risk
►
assessment should include dust and fumes
created by the use of the machine and the
potential for disturbing existing dust.
Use proper engineering controls to minimize the
►
amount of dust and fumes in the air and to
minimize build-up on equipment, surfaces,
clothing, and body parts. Examples of controls
include: exhaust ventilation and dust collection
systems, water sprays, and wet drilling. Control
dusts and fumes at the source where possible.
Make sure that controls are properly installed,
maintained and correctly used.
Wear, maintain and correctly use respiratory
►
protection as instructed by your employer and as
required by occupational health and safety
regulations. The respiratory protection must be
effective for the type of substance at issue (and if
applicable, approved by relevant governmental
authority).
Work in a well ventilated area.
►
► If the machine has an exhaust, direct the exhaust
so as to reduce disturbance of dust in a dust filled
environment.
