6 Use
6.1 General
The equipment of a rescue system must always be ready for use. That means the equipment must be
checked and inspected directly after use, before it is put away.
WARNING
Make sure you are up to date on all safety regulations and that you have mastered the use of
all equipment of the system you are going to work with.
6.2 Tool movement
The blades open and close relatively quickly until they encounter resistance. Then the pump will build
up the required pressure for spreading, cutting, pulling or squeezing.
WARNING
Take extreme care during tool movement. Because of the enormous power of the tool parts
of the body can easily be crushed or pinched.
6.3 Cutting (Fig. 5 & 6)
CAUTION
Do not cut hardened fastenings, bolts, etc. because this can damage the blades.
• Open the blades.
• Place the tool with opened blades perpendicular to the object to be cut (Fig. 5).
• Place the object to be cut as deeply as possible in the cutting cavity (Fig. 6).
• Close the blades.
WARNING
Stop immediately if the blades are out of line. Danger of serious injury and serious damage
to the equipment may occur.

• Open the blades of the tool.
• Place the spreading tips over the object to be squeezed.
• Close the blades.
