ing accessories. Inspect power cord
periodically and, if damaged, have it
repaired by an authorized technician.

2. The Cable.
Be sure the cable is in good condi-
tion, and is attached properly.
Do not use the Hoist if the cable is
frayed, kinked, or wrapped improperly
on the reel.
Do not replace the cable with a cable
of lesser strength.
3. Power Supply.
Be sure the power cord and control
handle are in good condition. Avoid
use in wet conditions, or exposing the
electrical components of this hoist to
moisture.
Route the power cord so that it is out
of the way of other tools and equip-
ment. Take care to prevent damage
to the power cord, or control handle
cord. If the cord becomes damaged,
repair or replace it before using the
hoist.
4. Stand Back.
Stay out of the direct line that the
cable is pulling. If it slips or breaks, it
will “whiplash” along this line.
Never stand underneath a weight be-
ing lifted.
Always wear ANSI approved eye
protection when working around tools
and equipment.
Do not hold the cable while using
the hoist, as your hand can become
caught.
Keep hands, clothing, hair and jew-
elry clear of the hoist while in use.
Use a spotter to assist you in assur-
ing that it is safe to operate the hoist.
5. Power Limits.
Do not attempt to exceed the pulling
limits of this hoist.
Assure that the mount to which the
hoist is attached will hold the weight
you will apply using this hoist.
6. WARNING: Handling the cord on
this product will expose you to lead,
a chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer, and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
(California Health & Safety Code §
25249.5, et seq.)

continue to operate the power switch.
This can result in damage to the mo-
tor.
