6.1 Safety notes
Before rescue work can commence, the object must be stabilized in its current position.
Ensure that the objects to be worked on are adequately underpinned and/or supported to
ensure that there is no risk of sliding or shifting.
Worldwide safety guidelines pertaining to the specific country must be observed and
complied with.
WARNING / CAUTION / PLEASE NOTE!
HURST eDRAULIC devices are
not
explosion-protected!
When using the devices in potentially explosive environments,
the following
must be excluded:
- that the device could trigger an explosion.
- that working with the device could trigger an explosion; e.g. sparks may result
from cutting an object.
The responsibility for explosion prevention or for ruling out work with an eDRAULIC
device lies with the operator of the device or with the person responsible at the
place of use.
When working in areas at risk of explosion, all applicable legal,
national and international regulations, standards and safety rules
for avoiding explosions must be observed without restriction!
The following are to be worn when working with the rescue equipment:
- protective clothing,
- safety helmet with visor or protective goggles,
- protective gloves,
- and, if necessary, ear protection.
Before operating the rescue device, you should ensure that no participants or bystanders are
at risk from the movements of the rescue device or from flying fragments! Avoid unnecessary
damage to property belonging to others or to objects not involved in the rescue or damage
caused by flying fragments.
Note on the operation of the eDRAULIC with a rechargeable battery:
If the rechargeable battery remains in the eDRAULIC device with the main switch on, but
without activating the star grip, the rechargeable battery will switch itself off after some time
(approximately 10 - 60 minutes, depending on the type of battery). If the star grip is then
activated, the eDRAULIC device will not switch itself on.
In order to resume work with the device, the eDRAULIC device must first be switched off at
the mains and then switched on again.
Alternatively, the capacity display on the rechargeable battery can be activated or the battery
may be briefly unplugged and replugged again.
