● Do not operate the tool if you are under the inuence of alco-

● Use the correct tool. Do not force a small tool or an attachment
to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Do not use a tool for a
purpose for which it was not intended.
● Never stand on the tool. Standing on the tool could cause an
injury if the tool is tipped.
● Inspect the tool. Before using the tool, check for damaged parts.
A damaged handle or other part should be carefully checked to
determine if it will keep the tool from operating properly and performing its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of
moving parts, broken parts, mounting, and other conditions that
may affect its operation.
● Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer
performance. Follow the instructions for lubricating, cleaning, and
replacing parts and accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from oil and grease.
● Use proper replacement parts. When servicing the tool, only use
identical replacement parts.
● Store tools not being used. When tools are not being used, store
them in a dry and high or locked place—out of children’s reach.
Before using the
Farm Jack
CAUTION: Improperly using this jack is highly hazardous. Read
these instructions before using the jack.
Make sure to:
● Visually inspect the jack. Check that all moving parts mate cor-
rectly
and that no visible cracks or bends are present on the handle or
rail.
● Stabilize the load to be lifted because the Farm Jack does not
stabilize
the load.
● Keep all visitors and children clear of the load being raised, low-
ered,
or pulled.
Important: Do not use a handle extender. All warranties are void if an
extender is used on the handle.
