Important Safety Information - Greenlee Fairmont HCS5130CB Operation Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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 hydrau-
lic flow reversed could cause tool malfunction.
Connect the pressure hose and tank hose to the
proper ports.
• Use this tool for cutting wood only. Any other use
can result in injury or property damage.
• Inspect tool before use. Replace any worn,
damaged or missing parts. A damaged or improp-
erly assembled tool can malfunction, injuring nearby
personnel.
• Inspect hydraulic hoses and couplings every
operating day. Repair or replace if leakage, crack-
ing, wear or damage is evident. Damaged hoses
or couplings can fail resulting in injury or property
damage.
• Ensure that all bystanders and unnecessary
personnel are clear of the work area when operating
the tool. Nearby personnel can be injured by falling
debris.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in
injury or property damage.
Hydraulic oil could 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.

Vibration hazard:
Apply just enough pressure to do the work. Applying
excess pressure to the tool can cause operator
discomfort or temporary numbness.
Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury.
• Check the operation of the automatic oiler
frequently. See Checking and Setting the Automatic
Chain Oiler in this manual.
• Check the chain frequently for proper tension and
sharpness. Tension and sharpen as necessary.
See the instructions under Saw Chain and Bar
Maintenance.
• Check the fluid level of the power source reservoir
frequently. The automatic oiler uses hydraulic fluid
to lubricate the bar and chain, and will cause the
fluid level to drop.
Procedure for disconnecting hydraulic hoses, fittings
or components:
1. Move the flow lever on the hydraulic power
source to the OFF position.
2. Stop the power source.
3. Follow the sequence under Disconnecting Hoses
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 decals clean and legible. Replace decals
when necessary — see the decals listed in the
Specifications and Parts manual.
