7.1 Safety instructions
Before rescue works can commence, the position of the obstacle must be stabilised.
You must ensure an adequate substructure and / or adequate support of the object.
World-wide, safety guidelines pertaining to the specific country are to be observed and
complied with. In the Federal Republic of Germany, regular safety inspections according
to the GUV legal accident insurance regulations ( Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung) are
mandatory.
In the event of a potentially explosive situation, it is not permitted to use motor pumps (danger
of the formation of sparks). In such cases, hand pumps are to be used.
The following are to be worn when working with the rescue equipment:
- protective clothing,
- safety helmet with visor or protective goggles,
- protective gloves
- and, if necessary, ear protection
Before activating the rescue equipment, always ensure that there is no danger to persons
either involved / uninvolved in the action by the movement of the rescue equipment or by
flying fragments. Further avoid unnecessary damage to property belonging to others, objects
not involved by the rescue equipment / flying fragments.
Reaching between the blade arms is strictly forbidden!
WARNING / CAUTION!
The particular effect of the force of the rescue equipment during operation could
cause pieces of the vehicle to break off or fly off, posing a danger to persons.
Those not involved in the rescue operation should therefore keep at a distance
appropriate to the situation.
7.2 Cutting
The blades must be positioned at a 90° angle to the object to be cut.
Higher cutting capacities can be achieved by cutting as close as possible to the blade’s pivot
point.
