4.1 Description
Thecuttingdeviceshavebeendesignedinsuchawaythatahydraulicallyoperatedpiston
activatesmechanicaljointssymmetricallytoopenorcloseasetoftwooppositebladearms,
thusenablingobjectstobecut.
Foralldevices,themovementisactivatedbymeansofavalveintheformofastargrip.
Alldevicesguaranteethedeadman'sswitchandthefullload-supportingfunctionwhenthe
stargripisreleased.
LUKASeDRAULICdevicesdonotneedtobe connected to an external hydraulic source
(e.g.amotorpump).Generationoftherequiredhydraulicpressuretakesplacewithinthe
bodyofthedevice.
Eitherabatteryoranexternalpowersupplymustbeconnectedasanenergysource.
Youcanchoosewhichenergysourceyouwishtouse.Boththeaccumulatorbatteryand
themainspowerunitcanbeinsertedintotheopeningprovidedinthebodyofthetool.
Theyarethenautomaticallylockedintoposition.
YoucanextendtheoperatingtimeofyoureDRAULICdevicebyusingseveralbatteries.
Thebatteriescanberechargedafteruse,usingasuitableexternalcharger.
Ifyouaremakinguseofanexternalpowersupply,thedevicecanbeusedforanalmost
unlimitedtime.Thistimeisonlylimitedbytheexternalenergysourceandtheoverheating
switchofthepowersupply.
ToallowyoutoselectthebestpossibleenergysupplyforyoureDRAULICdevice,neither
thebatterynorthepowersupplyformpartofthedeliveryscope.Youwillndsuitablebat-
teriesandpowersuppliesintheLUKASaccessorieslist.
eDRAULICdevicescomewithstandardlightttingstofacilitateworkunderpoorlight
conditions.
Thelight-emittingdiodesattachedontheoperatingsidelightuptheworkarea.The
mainswitchhasalsobeenequippedwitharinglight,sothatyoucanimmediatelydetect
whetherthedeviceisswitchedonornot.Whenexchangingthebatteryorpowersupply,
theconnectionslotwilllightupforapproximately30seconds.
