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!
• Pieces of mill scale, rust and other debris may be ejected from the work-
piece during operation. Wear ANSI approved eye protection while operating.
• Excessive resistance while operating could indicate a defect with the
workpiece material or broken or damaged Shrinker Stretcher 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 Shrinker
Stretcher components for looseness or damage.
The Shrinker Stretcher consists of heavy metal components which can present
a hand/finger pinch hazard and cause potentially serious injuries if dropped
on feet. Avoid pinching hands while handling parts during assembly and wear
thick, well-fitting work gloves to prevent cuts from handling sharp metal. The
use of safety shoes is strongly recommended.
High external loads are placed on this Shrinker Stretcher during operation.
This tool cannot be operated without adequate support or severe personal
injury or property damage can occur if it should suddenly be become dis-
lodged or moves while in use. Before beginning ANY work with this tool, it is
absolutely necessary that it be securely bolted to a solid, level, well supported
surface capable of withstanding the tremendous torque and side loads this
tool is subjected to during use.
