READ INSTRUCTIONS
• Thoroughly read and understand this manual before using.
• Save for future reference.
PINCH AND CRUSH HAZARD!
• The Eastwood Manual Ironworker consists of heavy metal components which can present a hand/finger pinch hazard and cause
potentially serious injuries if dropped. Avoid pinching hands while handling. The use of safety shoes is strongly recommended. Keep
fingers and hands away from moving parts when operating.
CUT HAZARD!
• Handling sharp metal can cause serious cuts. Wear thick, well-fitting work gloves to prevent cuts from handling sharp metal.
EYE INJURY HAZARD!
• Metal particles can be ejected from the tool when bending and cutting. Sheet metal edges and corners are sharp and can injure eyes.
Always wear ANSI approved eye protection when operating this tool.
• Before beginning ANY work with this tool, it is absolutely necessary that it be securely bolted to a sturdy workbench anchored to the
floor or wall.
• Strenuous physical force may need to be applied to the Manual Ironworker during use. Failure to ensure proper footing can quickly
result in a fall which could inflict serious personal injury or property damage. Always work in a clean, uncluttered environment.
• Be sure there is sufficient working room around the tool to allow for safe handling of various sizes of metal.
• The Eastwood Manual Ironworker was specifically designed to be operated by one person only. Never have one person operate the
Handle while another feeds the workpiece or serious injury could occur.
• Excessive resistance while operating could indicate a defect with the workpiece material or broken or damaged Manual Ironworker
components. To avoid injury, stop work immediately and inspect workpiece material for nicks, dents, welds, excessive scale or
remaining coatings. Clean or repair as necessary or discard and begin with a new piece. Also inspect Manual Ironworker components
for looseness or damage.
