Additional Safety Instructions for Hydraulics
1.BE FAMILIAR WITH THE HAZARDS OF HYDRAULIC INJECTION INJURIES.
—Leaking hydraulic fluid may have enough pressure to penetrate skin. Never use your hands to check for suspected hydraulic leaks.
—Hydraulic fluid that is injected into skin is a medical emergency that may cause infection, disability, amputation or death.
—The average injection injury may be a small wound that has barely broken the skin. DO NOT be fooled by this type of injury. Immediately get to an emergency medical facil- ity!
—Minimizing the time between the injury and when the injected mate- rial is removed is critical to mini- mizing the seriousness of the inju- ry.
2.USE A PIECE OF CARDBOARD TO CHECK FOR SUSPECTED HYDRAU- LIC LEAKS. Pressurized hydraulic fluid may cause injection injuries and can be extremely hot. Never use your hands to check for suspected hydraulic leaks.
3.PROTECT YOUR EYES AROUND HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS. Safety glasses may not always protect your eyes from hot, pressurized fluid. The best way to protect yourself is to stay away from leaks until you can depressurize the system.
4.STOP THE MACHINE IF YOU NOTICE A HYDRAULIC LEAK. Allowing the machine to continue running with a leak may increase the hazard of the situation.
5.DEPRESSURIZE THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST ANY HYDRAULIC LINES OR FITTINGS. Stop the resaw, open the con- veyor speed valves, and make sure the pressure gauge reads 0 PSI.
6.DEPRESSURIZE THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE. Stop the resaw, open the conveyor speed valves, and make sure the pressure gauge reads 0 PSI.
7.REGULARLY INSPECT AND PER- FORM THE PROPER MAINTENANCE ON THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. A well- maintained hydraulic system will have much fewer problems and hazards than a neglected system.
8.MAKE SURE ANY HYDRAULIC SYS- TEM MAINTENANCE IS PERFORMED IN A CLEAN AND
9.ONLY USE HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAU- LIC HOSE AND STEEL HYDRAULIC FITTINGS WHEN REPLACING COM- PONENTS IN THE HYDRAULIC SYS- TEM. DO NOT use brass or aluminum.
