LUKAS “SC” combi tools and LUKAS “S” cutters are designed specifically for rescuing victims in traffic, rail or air accidents and for making rescues from buildings. They serve the purpose of freeing injured people in accidents e. g. by cutting doors, roof bars and hinges. By using the LUKAS combi tools, trapped persons can also be freed e. g. by spreading doors and / or by removing obstacles with the aid of a chainset. Basically, the combi tools can be used to cut, pull, spread, squeeze and lift. Basically, LUKAS cutters can only be used to cut objects. All objects which are to be worked on...

LUKAS cutters and combi tools can also be used under water at a depth of up to 40m (131 ft). CAUTION! In this case, you must strictly observe any leaks in order to avoid threats to the environment. CAUTION! All objects which are to be worked on are to be secured using stable supports or substructures. WARNING / CAUTION! The following may not be cut / squeezed: - cables live - hardened parts such as springs, spring steels, steering columns and rollers - tubes / hoses under gas or liquid pressure, - compound materials (steel/concrete) - explosive bodies such as airbag cartouches NEVER operate...

5. Connecting the equipment 5.1 General information There are two short hoses on the side of the equipment: they are connected to the pump unit via two hoses. All hose assemblies are marked with a colour and have couplings to enable unmistakable connection. REMARK: The devices can be equipped with different coupling systems. They differ only by the article number and not by the designation. Of course the coupling systems can also be reequipped at a later time. WARNING / CAUTION! Before connecting the equipment you have to pay attention that all used components are suitable to the max...
