SFBTT20-DT BOBTAIL® Hydraulic Tool (HK1118) Alcoa Fastening Systems

I. GENERAL SAFETY RULES:

1. A half hour long hands-on training session with qualified personnel is recom-

mended before using Huck equipment.

2. Huck equipment must be maintained in a safe working condition at all times. Tools

and hoses should be inspected at the beginning of each shift/day for damage or

wear. Any repair should be done by a qualified repairman trained on Huck proce-

dures.

3. For multiple hazards, read and understand the safety instructions before installing,

operating, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, or working near the

assembly power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious bodily injury.

4. Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust or use the assembly

power tool.

5. Do not modify this assembly power tool. This can reduce effectiveness of safety

measures and increase operator risk.

6. Do not discard safety instructions; give them to the operator.

7. Do not use assembly power tool if it has been damaged.

8. Tools shall be inspected periodically to verify all ratings and markings required, and

listed in the manual, are legibly marked on the tool. The employer/operator shall

contact the manufacturer to obtain replacement marking labels when necessary.

Refer to assembly drawing and parts list for replacement.

9. Tool is only to be used as stated in this manual. Any other use is prohibited.

10. Read MSDS Specifications before servicing the tool. MSDS specifications are

available from the product manufacturer or your Huck representative.

11. Only genuine Huck parts shall be used for replacements or spares. Use of any

other parts can result in tooling damage or personal injury.

12.Never remove any safety guards or pintail deflectors.

13.Never install a fastener in free air. Personal injury from fastener ejecting may

occur.

14.Where applicable, always clear spent pintail out of nose assembly before installing

the next fastener.

15.Check clearance between trigger and work piece to ensure there is no pinch point

when tool is activated. Remote triggers are available for hydraulic tooling if pinch

point is unavoidable.

16.Do not abuse tool by dropping or using it as a hammer. Never use hydraulic or air

lines as a handle or to bend or pry the tool. Reasonable care of installation tools

by operators is an important factor in maintaining tool efficiency, eliminating down-

time, and preventing an accident which may cause severe personal injury.

17.Never place hands between nose assembly and work piece. Keep hands clear

from front of tool.

18.Tools with ejector rods should never be cycled with out nose assembly installed.

19.When two piece lock bolts are being used always make sure the collar orientation

is correct. See fastener data sheet for correct positioning.

II. PROJECTILE HAZARDS:

1. Risk of whipping compressed air hose if tool is pneudraulic or pneumatic.

2. Disconnect the assembly power tool from energy source when changing inserted

tools or accessories.

3. Be aware that failure of the workpiece, accessories, or the inserted tool itself can

generate high velocity projectiles.

4. Always wear impact resistant eye protection during tool operation. The grade of

protection required should be assessed for each use.

5. The risk of others should also be assessed at this time.

6. Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.

7. Check that the means of protection from ejection of fastener or pintail is in place

and operative.

8. There is possibility of forcible ejection of pintails or spent mandrels from front of

tool.

III. OPERATING HAZARDS:

1. Use of tool can expose the operator’s hands to hazards including: crushing,

impacts, cuts, abrasions and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect hands.

2. Operators and maintenance personnel shall be physically able to handle the bulk,

weight and power of the tool.

3. Hold the tool correctly and be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements

with both hands available.

4. Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.

5. Release trigger or stop start device in case of interruption of energy supply.

6. Use only fluids and lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.

7. Avoid unsuitable postures, as it is likely for these not to allow counteracting of nor-

mal or unexpected tool movement.

8. If the assembly power tool is fixed to a suspension device, make sure that fixation

is secure.

9. Beware of the risk of crushing or pinching if nose equipment is not fitted.

IV. REPETITIVE MOTION HAZARDS:

1. When using assembly power tool, the operator can experience discomfort in the

hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of the body.

2. When using tool, the operator should adopt a comfortable posture while maintain-

ing a secure footing and avoid awkward or off balanced postures.

3. The operator should change posture during extended tasks to help avoid discom-

fort and fatigue.

4. If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort,

pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensations or stiffness, these

warnings should not be ignored. The operator should tell the employer and consult

a qualified health professional.

V. ACCESSORIES HAZARDS:

1. Disconnect tool from energy supply before changing inserted tool or accessory.

2. Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are recommend-

ed. Do not use other types or sizes of accessories or consumables.

VI. WORKPLACE HAZARDS:

1. Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and of trip hazards caused

by the air line or hydraulic hose.

2. Proceed with caution while in unfamiliar surroundings; there could be hidden haz-

ards such as electricity or other utility lines.

3. The assembly power tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive environ-

ments.

4. Tool is not insulated against contact with electrical power.

5. Ensure there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., which can cause a hazard if

damaged by use of the tool.

VII. NOISE HAZARDS:

1. Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and

other problems such as tinnitus, therefore risk assessment and the implementation

of proper controls is essential.

2. Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as damping mate-

rials to prevent workpiece from ‘ringing’.

3. Use hearing protection in accordance with employer’s instructions and as required

by occupational health and safety regulations.

4. Operate and maintain tool as recommended in the instruction handbook to prevent

an unnecessary increase in the noise level.

5. Select, maintain and replace the consumable / inserted tool as recommended to

prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.

6. If the power tool has a silencer, always ensure that it is in place and in good work-

ing order when the tool is being operated.

VIII. VIBRATION HAZARDS:

1. Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply

to the hands and arms.

2. Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep hands warm and

dry.

3. If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in the fingers or hands, stop

using the tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.

4. Support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer in order to have a

lighter grip on the tool.

X. HYDRAULIC TOOL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Do not exceed maximum pressure setting stated on tool.

2. Carry out a daily check for damaged or worn hoses or hydraulic connections and

replace if necessary.

3. Use only clean oil and filling equipment.

4. Power units require a free flow of air for cooling purposes and should therefore be

positioned in a well ventilated area free from hazardous fumes.

5. Ensure that couplings are clan and correctly engaged before operation.

6. Do not inspect or clean the tool while the hydraulic power source is connected.

Accidental engagement of the tool can cause serious injury.

7. Be sure all hose connections are tight.

8. Wipe all couplers clean before connecting. Failure to do so can result in damage

to the quick couplers and cause overheating.
