Additional Safety Instructions for Hydraulics
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 DUST-FREE WORK
AREA. Remove any sawdust, grime or
water from hydraulic system openings or
components before maintenance. Always
use lint-free rags when wiping compo

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.
