RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING:
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
Safe operation of this accessory requires that you read and
understand this operator’s manual, and for the tool with which
this product is intended to be used. Read and understand
all labels affixed to the tool.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Know your accessory. Read the operator’s manual
carefully. Learn the product’s applications and limitations
as well as the specific potential hazards related to this
product.
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas and
work benches invite accidents.
This is a tool support. Do not use for any other purpose
than supporting tools not exceeding a maximum weight
of 30 lbs (10 lbs per arm).
Before using a tool, be sure all adjustments are secure.
Use the tripod in a dry, indoor place protected from
wet conditions.
When transporting the tripod in a vehicle, securely tie
it down to prevent movement and possible damage.
Maximum weight placed on tripod must be 30
pounds or less.
Do not use the tripod as a seat or stand.
Check to make sure tripod does not rock, slide or
move prior to use.
Put the tripod on a firm level surface where there is
plenty of room to handle and properly support the tool.
Do not mount tools that exceed the maximum weight
capacity of the tripod or cause the tripod to tip
excessively. Just because the tool can be attached to
your tripod, it does not assure safe operation.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct other users. If you loan someone this
product, also loan these instructions.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected tool

WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
SET UP
See Figures 1 - 10, pages 6 and 7.
NOTE: The tripod is shipped with the extension tubes
retracted, the legs folded in, and the adjustable head tilted
down. Follow the instructions below to raise the tripod to
the operating position.
Stand the tripod on its base.
Loosen the head lock knob and rotate the head upward.
Tighten the knob to secure the head in place.
Unlock the clamp on the lower tube to release the legs.
Move the legs away from the base.
Slide the legs down the lower tube and spread them to
their full outward positions. Lock the legs in place.
NOTE: The base will rise up as the legs are moved
outward.
WARNING:
When adjusting the height of the tripod, hold the
upper or middle tube with one hand and unlock the
clamp with the other. If not held properly, the top
portion of the tripod and any tool mounted to the
tripod could descend rapidly and cause serious
personal injury or property damage.
Unlock the clamp securing the middle tube and raise it
to your desired height. Lock the tube in place.
For added stability, securely hang weighted objects
on the ballast hooks at the base of the tripod. Do not
exceed 15 lbs per hook.
Unlock the clamp securing the upper tube and raise it to
your desired height. Lock the tube in place.
NOTE: Raise the upper tube gradually. Do not extend
the tripod beyond a stable height.
Loosen the arm lock knob and spread the arms to the
desired positions. Tighten the knob to secure the arms
in place.
WARNING:
Keep everyone - helpers, bystanders, children, and
animals - a safe distance from an extended tripod.
Serious personal injury or property damage could
occur if the tool is tipped. Unless you are adjusting
or mounting tools to the tripod, keep a minimum
distance of 15 ft. away from the unit.

OPERATION
Before mounting any tools, find the bubble level on the
tripod handle and ensure that the unit is level.
NOTE: If adjustments are needed, loosen the leveling
knob and position the brace as needed. Tighten the
knob once the unit is level. If you cannot level the tripod
by adjusting the brace, it may be necessary to reposition
the unit. Do not mount tools to the tripod unless it is
level.
To lower the stand, reverse the steps listed above.
MOUNTING TOOLS TO THE TRIPOD
See Figures 11 - 16, pages 7 and 8.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of a tipping hazard, always
ensure the tripod is stable before and after
mounting tools or leaving the tripod unattended. To
stabilize the tripod, reposition the arms, adjust the
leveling brace, and/or hang weights on the ballast
hooks. Do not use the tripod if it is not stable.
WARNING:
Do not mount tools that exceed the maximum
weight capacity of the tripod or cause the tripod
to tip excessively. Just because the tool can be
attached to your tripod, it does not assure safe
operation.
Locate the tripod mounting hole on the tool.
NOTE: Only tools with a 1/4-20 in. mounting hole can be
secured to the tripod.
Place the tool on the tripod mounting screw. Make sure
the screw properly engages the mounting hole on the
tool.
Hold the tool in place and rotate the knob clockwise to
secure.
Repeat this process to mount additional tools to the
remaining arms.
WARNING:
To ensure proper balance and reduce the risk of a
tipping hazard, center the weight of two or more
mounted tools over one of the tripod legs.
To mount a single tool:
Bring the adjustable arms together and rotate the head
down. Lock the arms and the head in place.
Locate the mounting screw at the base of the head and
the mounting hole on the tool.
NOTE: Only tools with a 1/4-20 in. mounting hole can be
secured to the tripod.
Place the tool on the tripod mounting screw. Make sure
the screw properly engages the mounting hole, on the
tool.
Rotate the tool clockwise to secure.
To mount multiple tools:
Choose the adjustable arm you want to mount your tool
to.
Push mounting screw knob up until the screw can be
seen above the arm.
WARNING:
Do not attach tools to the mounting screw at
the base of the head if the head is tilted upward.
This could cause the tripod to become unstable
resulting in a falling hazard.
