4.1 Description
The LUKAS handheld combi tools are a combi tool and handpump rolled into one unit.
Hydraulic power packs and energy supply or accumulators are therefore not required to
generate the required hydraulic pressure.
This is generated by moving the attached handle, in exactly the same manner as a hand pump.
The working section of the tool is configured so that two equal opposing blade arms
with mechanical joints open or close symmetrically in order to open, squeeze, pull or cut
objects.
In addition, LUKAS handheld combi tools are fitted with a tool head that can rotate through
360° to allow optimum application of the blade arms at all times and ensure optimum
pumping.
4.2 Control of working movements
The working direction is adjusted before actuating the hand lever by turning the rotary knob
to the desired switching end point (see cover sheet Item 1).
The hand lever is actuated to move the two blade arms in the specified working direction.
