GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re, and/or serious injury.
WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tools. Distractions can
cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks.
Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug-in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug
will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug-in any
way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged power cords
immediately. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These
extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the power switch is o before plugging in. Carrying power tools
with your nger on the power switch, or plugging in power tools with the power switch on, invites
accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key that is
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection, dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and/or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the power switch does not turn on or o. Any tool that can not be controlled
with the power switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
• Disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with a
sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag
damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.
• Check for misalignment or loose parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may aect the
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualied personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the “Inspection,
Maintenance and Cleaning” section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
• Maintain labels and nameplates on the hoist. These carry important information. If unreadable or
missing, contact the distributor for a replacement.
• Always wear safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves when using the hoist. Using personal
safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
• Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure there is adequate
surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other
debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near ammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this
product in a damp or wet location.
• Always maintain a rm grip on the tool.
• Always keep the extension cord away from moving parts on the tool.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before turning on the hoist.
• Do not force the hoist. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed and capacity for
which it was designed.
• Never use the hoist to lift people or animals. Do not support a load over or around people or animals.
• Always leave a minimum of 4 wraps of cable on the drum. The cable fastener on this wire rope hoist is
not rated for the maximum capacity of the hoist.
• Do not exceed the maximum lift capacity.
• Do not stand under hoisted loads.
• Do not operate the hoist in wet conditions. Do not allow the hoist to freeze.
• If pushing the lift button continually does not have any aect, do not continue. This is a sign that the
load exceeds the maximum capacity.
• Never adjust the cable or work on the hoist when it is plugged into an outlet.
• Always inspect the cable and hook prior to use. If the cable is damaged in any way, do not use it. Hooks
that are bent, worn or whose openings are enlarged beyond normal size should not be used.
• If the hoist is stopped during the lowering of a load, it is normal for the load to drop a few inches
more due to inertia.
• The hoist motor does not have an overload cut-out. If you are unable to hoist a load and the load
is under the maximum lift capacity, stop the hoist and allow the motor to cooldown before trying
again.
• Make sure the cable is correctly wrap around the wheel. (See Figure A)
OK
Figure A
• Do not leave load suspended in the air unattended.
• Do not allow a load to bear against the hook latch. Allowing a load to bear against the hook latch
can result in loss of load.
• Do not allow load to swing or twist while hoisting.
• Do not use cable as a sling or wrap cable around a load.
