WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure
to follow warnings and instructions may result in tool damage
and/or serious injury.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read the instruction
manual.

General

• Do not discard safety instructions. Give to the operator.

• This tool will provide dependable service if operated in accordance
with the instructions given in this manual. Read and understand this
manual and any stickers and tags attached to the tool and hoses before
operation. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or equipment
damage.

• Inspect the tool before each use and ensure all decals are legible.
Contact STANLEY if replacements are needed.

• Establish a training program for all operators to ensure safe operation.
Do not operate the tool unless thoroughly trained or under the
supervision of an instructor. Keep out of the reach of children.

• Operators and maintenance personnel shall be able to physically handle
the bulk, weight and power of the tool.

• Do not operate a damaged, improperly adjusted, modified or
incompletely assembled tool.

• Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Provide adequate ventilation in closed areas when operating a gas or
diesel hydraulic power source.

• Do not inspect, carry, clean, change accessories or perform
maintenance on the tool while the power source is connected.
Accidental engagement of the tool can cause serious injury.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a hydraulic tool. Do not operate this tool if you are tired or
under the influence of drugs or alcohol. A moment of inattention while
operating hydraulic tools may result in serious injury.

• Assess risks to others around you before operating the tool.

• During operation, do not contact mechanisms, accessories or hardware
as they can become very hot; use your Personal Protection Equipment
(PPE).

• Use and maintain the tool as stated in this manual. Misuse of this tool
is forbidden. Misuse of the tool can cause serious injury. Do not modify
the tool in any way.

• Supervising personnel should develop additional precautions relating to
the specific work area and local safety regulations.

• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times
when using the tool.

• Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be observant
of hoses lying about the work area, as they can be a tripping hazard.

• Operator must start in a work area without bystanders and must assess
the risk to bystanders, including the risk of serious injury or death
caused by the tool or accessories dropped from an elevated height.

• Operators must be familiar with all prohibited work areas such as
excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.

• Only use clean hydraulic fluid and lubricants that have been
recommended by STANLEY.

• Ensure tools are working properly and safely by performing preventative
maintenance (PM) procedures.

• Repair and service of this tool must only be performed by an authorized

and certified dealer.

• Use only replacement parts recommended by STANLEY.

• Check fastener tightness daily and before each use.

• Never operate the tool if you cannot be sure that underground utilities
are not present, such as electrical cables, gas pipes, etc. These can
cause a hazard if damaged with the tool.

• The tool is not insulated against coming into contact with electric
power. Use hose certified as non-conductive.

• Use only hoses and hose couplings that are rated for a minimum
working pressure of 2500 PSI (172 BAR).

• Keep the work area well lit.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the tool is in the off position
before connecting to power source, picking up or carrying the tool.

• In spite of the application of relevant safety regulations and the
implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be
avoided. These risks are: pinching risk when operating the tool control
valve.

Dust and Fumes

• WARNING: Use of this tool on certain materials could generate dust

potentially containing a variety of hazardous substances such as
asbestos, silica or lead. Inhalation of dust containing these or other
hazardous substances could result in serious injury, cancer or death.
Protect yourself and those around you. Research and understand the
materials you are cutting. Follow correct safety procedures and comply
with all applicable national, state or provisional health and safety
regulations relating to them, including, if appropriate arranging for the
safe disposal of the materials by a qualified person.

• When dust or fumes are created, control them at the point of emission.
Direct tool exhaust to minimize disturbance of dust.

• Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in this manual to
minimize dust.

• Use respiratory protection in accordance with employers instruction or
as required by occupational health and safety regulations.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful
chemicals.

PPE

• Always wear safety equipment such as impact resistant goggles, ear
protection, head protection, breathing protection and safety shoes at all
times when operating the tool.

• Hands may be exposed to hazards, impacts, cuts, abrasions and heat.
Wear gloves.

• Use PPE that conforms to standards ANSI Z87.1 (Eye and Face
Protection), ANSI Z89.1 (Head Protection), ANSI Z41.1 (Foot Protection)
and ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) (Hearing Protection).

• Do not wear loose fitting clothing when operating the tool. Loose
fitting clothing can get entangled with the tool and cause serious injury.

Sound

• 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). Use hearing protection in accordance with
employer’s instructions and as required by occupational health and
safety regulations. Appropriate controls to reduce the risk can include
actions such as damping materials to prevent work pieces from
“ringing”.

• Use and maintain as recommended in the manual to prevent an
unnecessary increase in noise levels.

Vibration

• 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.

• Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your
hands warm and dry.

• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and
blood supply of the hands and arms.

• Use and maintain as recommended in the manual to prevent an
unnecessary increase in vibration.

• Check the vibration level after each service. If higher than normal,
contact your STANLEY dealer.

Hydraulic

• Warning: Hydraulic fluid under pressure could cause skin injection

injury. Do not check for leaks with your hands. If you are injured by
hydraulic fluid, get medical attention immediately.

• Do not let hydraulic oil get on the skin. Hydraulic oil is hot. Wear
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) at all times.

• If exposed to hydraulic fluid, wash hands immediately.

• Do not exceed the maximum relief valve setting stated on the tool.

• Inspect and clean couplers before use, daily. Replace damaged couplers
immediately.

• Hydraulic circuit control valve must be OFF before coupling or
uncoupling tools. Failure to do so may damage the couplers and cause
overheating of the hydraulic system.

• Ensure the couplers are properly connected and are tight.

• Do not operate the tool at fluid temperatures above 140°F (60°C).
Higher temperatures can cause operator discomfort and damage to the
tool.

• Do not exceed the rated flow and pressure as stated on the tool. Rapid
failure of the internal seals may result.
