Safety Instructions

Safety Instructions
During the design and production of Husqvarna products,
great importance is placed on safety, as well as
effectiveness and ease of use. To ensure that the machine
remains safe you must pay attention to the following
points:
WARNING!
This machine is only intended to be used
together with Husqvarna WS 355, 463, 462,
460 or DIMAS CS2512. All other use is
forbidden.
CAUTION
Under no circumstances may the machine be
started without observing the safety
instructions. Should the user fail to comply
with these, Husqvarna Construction Products
Sweden AB or its representatives are free
from all liability both directly and indirectly.
Read through these operating instructions and
make sure that you understand the contents
before starting to use the machine. Should
you, after reading these safety instructions,
still feel uncertain about the safety risks
involved you must not use the machine
contact your dealer for more information.
• Check that all couplings, connections and hydraulic
hoses are in full working order.
• All operators shall be trained in the use of the machine.
The owner is responsible for ensuring that the
operators receive training.
• Make sure that all hoses and electrical cables are
connected to the machine correctly before you start the
machine.
• People and animals can distract you, causing you to
lose control of the machines. For this reason, you
should concentrate and focus on the task at hand.
• Never leave the machine unsupervised with the motor
running.
• Make sure no clothing, hair or jewellery can fasten in
moving machine parts.
• Onlookers can be injured. You should never, therefore,
start the machine without being certain that no people
or animals are within the work area. Secure the work
are by cordoning off if necessary.

• Never disconnect any of the hydraulic hoses without
first shutting off the unit and ensuring the motors have
stopped completely.
• If despite all precautions an emergency situation
should arise, press the red emergency stop button on
the side of the remote control or press the green start/
stop button on the remote control.
• Wear suitable personal protective equipment, such as
a helmet, protective shoes, eye and hearing protection.
Hearing protection must always be worn as sound
levels exceed 85 dB(A).
• Working close to power lines:
When using hydraulic tools close to power lines, the
hydraulic hoses must be marked and approved as "non-
conducting dielectric". The use of any other type of
hoses can result in serious physical injury or even death.
When replacing hoses, hoses marked "non-conducting
dielectric" must be used. The hoses must be regularly
checked for their electrical conductive insulation in
accordance with special instructions.
• Working close to gas conduits:
Always check and mark out where gas pipes are
routed. Working close to gas pipes always entails
danger. Make sure that sparks are not caused in view
of the risk of explosion. Remain concentrated and
focused on the task. Carelessness can result in
serious personal injury or death.
Please
• Mark out all hidden pipes such as water pipes and gas
pipes.
• Check that power cables and the Canbus cable are not
damaged or can be damaged while working.
• Check tools, hoses, and connections daily for leakage.
A crack or leak can cause "hydraulic fluid injection" in
the body or result in other serious personal injury.
• Do not exceed the rated working pressure for the
specific tool or hydraulic hose. Increased pressure can
cause leakage or bursting.
• Do not check for leakage with your hands, contact with
the leak can result in serious personal injury caused by
the high pressure in the hydraulic system.
• The tool must not be carried or lifted by the hoses.
• Do not misuse hoses.
• Do not use hoses that are twisted, worn, or damaged.
• Check that the hoses are connected correctly to the tool
and that the hydraulic couplings lock as intended before
pressurising the hydraulic system. The couplings are
locked by turning the outer sleeve on the female cou-
pling so that the slot moves away from the ball.
