IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Keep all parts of the body away from rotating parts
when the tool is in operation. Contact with moving
parts can result in severe injury.
• Do not change accessories, inspect, or clean tool when
it is connected to a power source. Accidental start-up
can result in serious injury.
• Maintain a firm grip on tool, using both hands at all
times. Serious injury can result if an operator does
not control the tool.
• Do not lock trigger in the power-ON position.
Operator can not stop tool when trigger is locked.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.
Tool and accessory may be hot during
and after operation.
Contact with hot surfaces could result
in serious injury.
Do not exceed the following hydraulic power source
maximums:
• Hydraulic flow: 38 l/min (10 gpm)
• Pressure relief: 138 bar (2000 psi)
• Back pressure: 13.8 bar (200 psi)
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
Do not disconnect tool, hoses, or fittings while
the power source is running or if the hydraulic fluid is
hot. Hot hydraulic fluid could cause serious burns.
Do not reverse hydraulic flow. Operation with hydraulic
flow reversed can cause tool malfunction. Connect the
supply (pressure) hose and return (tank) hose to the
proper tool ports.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.

damaged parts. A damaged or improperly
assembled tool can malfunction, injuring nearby
personnel.
• Inspect the hydraulic hoses and couplings every
operating day. Repair or replace if leakage, cracking,
wear, or damage is evident. Damaged hoses or cou-
plings can fail, resulting in injury or property damage.
• Use this tool for manufacturer's intended use only.
Use other than that which is described in this
manual could result in injury or property damage.
• Make sure all bystanders are clear of the work area
when handling, starting, and operating the tool.
Nearby personnel can be injured by flying parts in the
event of a tool malfunction.
Procedure for connecting or disconnecting hydraulic
hoses, fittings, or components:
1. Move the flow lever on the hydraulic power source
to the OFF position.
2. Stop the hydraulic power source.
3. Follow the sequence under "Hose Connections" to
prevent pressure buildup. In case some pressure
has built up, loosen hoses, fittings, or components
slowly.
