SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to
the tool safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1.
Use the correct tool for the job. This tool was designed for a specific function. Do not modify or alter this tool or use it
for an unintended purpose.
2.
The maximum capacity is 16 tons. DO NOT exceed this rated capacity.
3.
Always place the tool on a solid, flat, level surface or workbench capable of supporting the weight of the tool, all
other additional accessories and the workpiece.
4. Make sure there is enough clearance around the tool for the movement of the pipe ends as the pipe is bent into
position.
5. Keep away from the area between the die and the rollers when operating the bottle jack to avoid injury. Do not place
your hands between the moving components.
6.
Two person operation. For safety, when moving the pipe bender or bending large pieces of pipe, always use two
people. When bending large pipe, one person is needed to balance the pipe in the bending dies, while a second
person pumps the bottle jack's handle.
7.
Only use with accessories rated to handle the forces exerted by this tool during operation. Other accessories not
designed for the forces generated may break and forcefully launch pieces. Inspect the tool before each use. DO NOT
use if bent, broken, cracked, leaking or otherwise damaged, any suspect parts are noticed or it has been subjected to
a shock load.
8.
Check to ensure that all applicable bolts and nuts are firmly tightened.
9.
DO NOT make any modifications to the tool.
10. DO NOT use brake fluid or any other improper fluid and avoid mixing different types of oil when adding hydraulic oil.
11.
Only good quality hydraulic jack oil can be used.
HYDRAULIC PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Seek immediate medical attention if hydraulic fluid under pressure penetrates your skin. See Injection
Injury precautions for instructions before using a pressurized hydraulic system.
1.
Do not touch or handle hydraulic hoses or components while under pressure. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure
has sufficient force to penetrate your clothing and skin. A pinpoint hole may inject hydraulic fluid into your body. Seek
immediate medical attention if this occurs (see Injection Injury).
2.
Never exceed the hydraulic system's load capacity (see Specifications).
3.
Do not adjust the hydraulic system's relief setting. The settings are preset by the factory.
4.
Hydraulic oil under pressure is hot and can cause a burn injury if touched, sprayed or spilled. Allow the hydraulic
system to cool before conducting maintenance.
5. Hydraulic components require regular inspection. Release all pressure from the system before you inspect it. Replace
damaged hydraulic parts with identical manufacturer's components.
6.
Do not attempt makeshift repairs to a hydraulic system. Such repairs can fail suddenly and create a hazardous
condition.
7.
Hydraulic fluid has a combustible flash point of 200°F (93°F). Do not expose the fluid to an ignition source.
8. Change your clothing immediately if sprayed with hydraulic fluid. Store clothing or rags contaminated with hydraulic
fluid in an approved metal safety can with a spring-closing lid and venting designed to contain a fire.
9.
Only use hydraulic fluid in the pump. Do not substitute or mix brake fluid, or any other fluid, with the hydraulic fluid.
This can result in a pump failure and injure the user or bystander. It may also damage the pump.
INJECTION INJURY
DANGER! Seek immediate, professional medical treatment if fluid penetrates your skin. It may feel like a pricking
or sting. Do not wait for the appearance of symptoms. A toxic reaction can occur from the exposure. Delay in
treatment can lead to amputation or death.
Inform the medical staff that you have a fluid penetration injury as soon as you arrive at the medical facility. The
severity of the symptoms will depend on the type of fluid injected. Bring the Safety Data Sheet for the fluid with you
to the medical facility if possible.
