Important Safety Information - Greenlee fairmont H8508 Instruction Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Tool and drill bit 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: 37.9 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 pressure (supply) hose and tank
(return) hose to the proper ports.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
Hydraulic oil can cause skin irritation.
• Handle the tool and hoses with care to prevent
skin contact with hydraulic oil.
• In case of accidental skin contact with hydraulic
oil, wash the affected area immediately to remove
the oil.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in
injury.

H8508 Hydraulic Impact Wrench
• Wear protective gloves when handling, removing
and installing drill bits. Drill bits can cut even when
stationary.
• Inspect tool before use. Replace any worn,
damaged, or missing parts. A damaged or
improperly assembled tool can malfunction,
injuring nearby personnel.
• Inspect hydraulic hoses and couplings every
operating day. Repair or replace if leakage,
cracking, wear or damage is evident. Damaged
hoses or couplings can fail resulting in injury or
property damage.
• Use this tool for manufacturer's intended purpose
only. Use other than that which is described in this
manual can 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 or
falling debris or 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.
Emergency stop procedure:
1. Release the trigger.
2. Shut off the hydraulic power source.
Note: Keep all decals clean and legible, and replace
when necessary.
