Stop immediately if the equipment leaks oil. Oil escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury. Go immediately to a hospital with a person who is injected with oil for medical
help. Give a specification of the oil to the medical staff.
•
Return inactive equipment immediately to the tool station.
•
Always adhere to the safety regulations that apply to other equipment that is used in the operation.
2.7

Description
3.1
Equipment
The combi tool is one of the pieces of rescue equipment that makes it possible to reach victims. It is a
versatile combination tool with the function of a cutter and spreader in one tool. This tool is used during
rescue operations to cut, spread, squeeze or pull structural elements. It can squeeze material tightly or
squash it and thus create weak pivots or places that are easier to cut later. It can also force parts apart
or be used to notch at particular places in order to weaken the construction. By placing accessories at
the points, materials can be pulled together. The combi tool is produced as a hand tool that can be
operated by one person. One or more hoses connect the tool to a pump. On the front of the tool there
are two blades with spreading tips that make a scissor or spreading movement. The high hydraulic
pressure that is used means these tools can apply large forces.
