WARNING

 

WORK AREA SAFETY 

 

Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit. 
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work areas 
may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts. 

 

Do not use the product where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the presence 
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite the 
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. 

 

Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow 
children to handle the product.  

 

WARNING

 

PERSONAL SAFETY 

 

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use 
the tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of 
inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury. 

 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing 
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving 
parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided. 

 

Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant 
safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust 
mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection 
systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.  

 

CAUTION

 

PALLET JACK USE AND CARE

which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job. 

 

Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly 
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the 
product with a damaged part. 

 

Store the product when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
