Safety Instructions
●
The ground or floor in the working area should by clean and dry or rough enough
to ensure that the operating personnel cannot slip.
●
The device is intended only for manual transport of paving stones or slabs. Never
suspend it from a crane or mechanical shovel, etc.
Local safety requirements are fully applicable. The following safety instructions
supplement the local regulations and do not supersede them:
●
Wear safety shoes, gloves and ear protection.
●
Never exceed the maximum lifting capacity of the device.
●
Do not stand below the load. Always keep clear of the load.
●
Never carry people or animals with the load or the lifting device itself!
●
Operate only when you can view the entire working area. Look out for other
persons in the working area. Never manoeuvre loads above people.
●
Do not release the handles while a load is attached.
●
Do not pull loads to the side or drag them along with the lifting device.
●
If the load has become jammed, do not attempt to tear it free with the lifting
device.
●
In the case of a fault in the vacuum generator, lower the load immediately if
possible. Immediately leave the danger area near the load.
●
Pick up and lift only appropriate loads (check for stability and porosity).
●
Always keep an eye on the vacuum gauge. Never lift loads when the vacuum is
below –200 mbar. If the pointer of the pressure gauge moves into the red danger
zone, lower the load immediately.
●
Place workpieces only on clear, level surfaces, since they may otherwise slide
away when released.
●
Release the load only when it has been fully lowered to the ground. Do not reach
under the load when lowering it, since serious injuries may result!
●
Always distribute load evenly on the suction surfaces.
●
Ensure that the vacuum generator cannot be switched off while transporting
loads.
●
Check all suction hoses and clamps for proper installation and tighten the clamps
if necessary.
●
If you set down the unit with the motor running, take care not to place it on an
airtight surface, since this will block the flow of cooling air. Instead, place the unit
on a support (such as a block of wood).
●
Always switch off the unit if you do not intend to use it again within two minutes
