Hydraulic power tools are used for the transmission of power by pressurized liquids. Examples of hydraulic tools include jacks, presses, and impact wrenches.
How do they work?
Power is transmitted by the controlled circulation of pressurized fluid,, usually a water-soluble oil of water-glycol mixture, to a moto that converts it into a mechanical output capable of doing work on a load.
What safety precautions do you need to take?
Wear safety goggles and maybe coveralls whilst using hydraulic tools.
Make sure connections and hoses are properly connected and have no leaks or splits.
Ensure there is no damage done to tools before use.
Check that the area is clear of hazards.
How do you maintain them?
Brush and wipe clean connections before use with a fiber brush.
Give 3 examples of hydraulic tools in the workshop (you are likely to come across)
Riveting Machine, Hydraulic Jack, and an Impact Wrench.
