3. Intended use
LUKAS handheld combi tools are specially designed for the rescue of casualties in road
accidents, rail accidents and in air travel, and for rescue from buildings. They serve the
purpose of freeing injured people in accidents e. g. by cutting doors, roof bars and hinges.
Trapped persons can also be freed using them e. g. by forcing open doors and/or by removing
obstacles with the aid of a chain set. LUKAS handheld combi tools can basically be used to
cut, pull, open, squeeze and lift objects.
You can obtain accessories and spare parts for the rescue device from your authorised
LUKAS dealer!
