STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION 4.11 Replacing Blade Inserts (NXT GEN) During a change of blades, ensure the cutter is fixed in place. Any movement should be avoided. Replacing the blades requires a soft-face hammer, the tensioning pins supplied, the punch and the blade inserts themselves.
4.12 Replacing the Spreader Tips The spreader tips of the S49 and the S54 are secured with captive collar pins in the spreader arms. To replace them, the pins must be pushed out. After the tips have been replaced, the collar pins can be pushed back through.
5. Applications 5.1 Safety Instructions WARNING! Never reach between the blade or spreader arms! WARNING! During any work with battery tools, tensioned parts can break or fly off, thereby endangering people. Uninvolved parties must therefore remain a safe distance away or stay in the danger zone only as long as necessary.
CAUTION! Do not sever any parts with loose ends as this can result in personal injury due to parts flying off. ATTENTION! When cutting high-strength vehicle body parts, such as shock absorbers, hinges or steering columns, the shear blades (arms) may cause severe damage.
APPLICATIONS 5.5 Pulling (Spreaders, Combi Tools, Rescue Rams) After the chain set (as described in Chapter 4.7) has been attached to the equipment, spreaders, combi tools and rescue rams can also be used for pulling. For this, the chains must be tightly tensioned and must be tensed only in the pulling direction. To tension the chain, only one lock can be pressed in, so that the chain can be pulled through the chain lock.
5.6 Squeezing (Spreaders, Combi Tools) The squeezing of pipes and other hollow profiles takes place by closing the spreader arms. However, with the combi tools, squeezing can only be done in the area of the tips! ATTENTION! Material to be squeezed can suddenly spring away. Do not remain in the working area of the spreading and combi tools! 5.7 Lifting (Spreaders, Combi Tools, Rescue Rams) Spreaders, combi tools and rescue rams can be used for lifting vehicles or other movable loads...
