Noise Hazards; Vibration Hazards; Additional Safety Instructions For Hydraulic Power Tools - Stanley AV 50 Instruction And Service Manual

1.7 NOISE HAZARDS

• Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing,
buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears). Therefore, risk assessment and the implementation of appropriate controls
for these hazards are essential.
• Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as damping materials to prevent workpieces from
"ringing".
• Use hearing protection in accordance with employer's instructions and as required by occupational health and safety
regulations.
• Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in the instruction manual, to prevent an unnecessary increase in the
noise level.

1.8 VIBRATION HAZARDS

• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms.
• Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands warm and dry.
• If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands, stop using the tool, tell your
employer and consult a physician.
• Where possible Support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer, because a lighter grip can then be used
to support the tool.

1.9 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HYDRAULIC POWER TOOLS

• The operating hydraulic supply must not exceed 550 bar (8000 PSI).
• Oil under pressure can cause severe injury.
• Do not fit flexible hydraulic hoses rated at less than 700 bar (10,000 PSI) working pressure at a flow rate of 2.73 l/min
(200 in 3/min).
• Never leave operating tool unattended. Disconnect hydraulic hose and electrical cable from the pump unit when tool is
not in use, before changing accessories or when making repairs.
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
• Prior to use, inspect hydraulic hoses for damage, all hydraulic connections must be clean, fully engaged and tight before
operation. Do not drop heavy objects on hoses. A sharp impact may cause internal damage and lead to premature hose
failure.
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins shall be installed and whipcheck safety cables
shall be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection failure.
• DO NOT lift the placing tool by the hose or electrical cable. Always use the placing tool handle.
• DO NOT pull or move the hydraulic pump unit using the hoses. Always use the pump unit handle or roll cage.
• Keep dirt and foreign matter out of the hydraulic system of the tool as this will cause the tool to malfunction.
• Use only clean oil and filling equipment.
• Only recommended hydraulic fluids may be used.
• Power units require a free flow of air for cooling purposes and should therefore be positioned in a well ventilated area
free from hazardous fumes.
• Maximum temperature of the hydraulic fluid at the inlet is 110°C (230°F).
