SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tool operators and maintenance personnel must comply
with the safety precautions given in this manual and on
the stickers and tags attached to the tool and hose.
These precautions are given for your safety. Review
them carefully before operating the tool and before
performing general maintenance or repairs.
Supervising personnel should develop additional
precautions relating to the specic work area and local
safety regulations. Place the added precautions in the
space provided in this manual.
The TA54 Hydraulic Tamper will provide safe and
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.
• Operator must start in a work area without
bystanders. The operator must be familiar with all
prohibited work areas such as excessive slopes and
dangerous terrain conditions.
• 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.
• Always wear safety equipment such as goggles, ear,
head protection and safety shoes at all times when
operating the tool. Never wear loose clothing that
can get entangled in the working parts of the tool.
• Do not inspect or clean the tool while the hydraulic
power source is connected. Accidental engagement
of the tool can cause serious injury.
• Supply hoses must have a minimum working
pressure rating of 2500 psi/175 bar.
• Be sure all hose connections are tight.
• The hydraulic circuit control valve must be in the
OFF position when coupling or uncoupling the tool.
Wipe all couplers clean before connecting. Use only
lint-free cloths. Failure to do so may result in damage
to the quick couplers and cause overheating of the
hydraulic system.
• Do not operate the tool at oil temperatures above
140 °F/60 °C. Operation at higher oil temperatures
can cause operator discomfort and may damage the
tool.
• Do not operate a damaged, improperly adjusted or
incompletely assembled tool.
• Know the location of buried or covered services
before starting your work.
• To avoid personal injury or equipment damage,
all tool repair, maintenance and service must only
be performed by authorized and properly trained
personnel.
• Do not exceed the rated limits of the tool or use the
tool for applications beyond its design capacity.
• Always keep critical tool markings, such as labels
and warning stickers, legible.
• Always replace parts with replacement parts
recommended by STANLEY.

this tool is not for use near energized lines. Failure
to comply with this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and
balance at all times.
• Use care when handling the tamper. Do not carry
the tool by the hoses.
• WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.
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 qualied person.
