SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Operating personnel must stand so that they always have a full view of raising/lowering
movements of the lifting equipment and its load.
2. Move the top of the slab out from the pack of slabs by using a pinch bar and wedge,
allowing enough room for the backplate of the clamp to pass between slab and pack of
slabs. Do not move the top of the slab pass center of balance, keep the slab in an
inclined position.
3. Position the clamp squarely and in the center of the slab so that the load is balanced.
4. Make sure that the slab is inserted full depth into the opening of the clamp.
5. Release the locking latch so that the jaws will lock onto the slab when the lifting cable
is raised.

load or the clamp could unintentionally rest on. In this event, the clamp can drop the
load.
IMPORTANT: Carefully observe the Safety instructions supplied with the lifting

It is important to establish a regular procedure for clamp inspection. The frequency of
inspection will depend upon the amount of use the clamp receives. You may wish to
maintain a written record, indicating inspection dates, condition of the clamp on each of
those dates and any repairs made. Inspection records should be reviewed periodically.
Always use original spare parts when carrying out repairs or maintenance.
