tracted.
This could cause one to lose control over the
tool.
Always pay full attention to what you are doing.
Watch your work. Do not use electric tools if
you are not fully concentrating.
Don’t use any device that has a faulty on/off
switch. An electric tool that can no longer be
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Keep electric tools out of the reach of children.
Keep children away. Never allow other persons
to touch the tool or the cable, keep other peo-
ple away from your work area.
Only use accessories recommended by the
manufacturer.
The mains voltage must correspond to the
information on the machine’s type plate.
Avoid body contact to grounded elements, e.g.
pipes, radiators, stoves, and refrigerators, to
prevent an electric shock.
Never carry the device by the cable. Only pull
the cable from the receptacle with the plug.
Protect the cable from oil, heat, and sharp
edges. Damaged cables can cause an electric
shock.
Check the device and power cable for damage
before starting work.
When plugging in the power plug, make sure
that the operating switch is not located in position.
Only use approved extension cables when
using the device outside.
When using a cable drum, unwind it entirely in
order to prevent the cable from heating up. The
minimum wire gauge is 1.5 mm2.
When working outside, the receptacle must be
equipped with a residual current circuit-breaker.
Pull the plug when the equipment is not in use.
Do not expose electric tools to the rain. Do not
use electric tools in a damp or wet environ-
ment. Do not use electric tools near inflammab-
le liquids or gases.
Pull the plug when you are not using the device
or making adjustments.
Always guide the cable away from the back of
the tool.
Do not expose the hoist to adverse weather
conditions, sunlight, dust or low temperatures
unnecessarily.
Never spray the cable hoist down with water
and never immerse it in liquids.
Never use the cable hoist in rain or during
thunder.
Only use the cable hoist in dry enclosed areas if
possible and store it in a dry room.
Never modify the cable hoist’s equipment.
The cable hoist may only be used for the purpo-
se for which it is designed. Never use it for other
purposes or work for which it is not designed.
Never transport persons using the cable hoist.
Do not overload the cable hoist. Only use the
hoist to life loads up to the weight set out on
the model plate.
Never completely unwind the cable from the
roller. Only unwind it until the red cable end
appears. If you wind the cable completely off
the roller, there is a risk that the cable will wind
back onto the roller the wrong way and will
then kink. The winding and unwinding direc-
tion will then be in reverse and the limit switch
will be rendered inoperable. Ensure that at least
three turns remain on the roller.
The electric motor for the cable hoist is fitted
with a thermal switch to prevent an overload.
If the thermal switch trips, the cable hoist will
