Safety instructions
•
Always keep your working area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or insufficiently lit working areas
increase the risk of accident.
•
Check the condition of both the beam and beam clamp for signs of damage, deformation, or
wear before attaching the clamp and beginning the work process. Do not use damaged, de-
formed, or worn beam clamps and only attach beam clamps to beams that are in pristine con-
dition and safe.
•
Only attach this beam clamp to beams, the width of which is within the range of the adjustable
jaws of the clamp.
•
The working load limit of the clamp must not be exceeded. When used in combination with other
accessories, further ensure that the working load limit of any of the components is not exceeded.
If in doubt concerning the weight of a load, contact your supervisor to confirm if it is suitable.
•
After each use, inspect the clamp to ensure its integrity.
•
Do not attempt to repair a damaged, deformed, or worn clamp. Any kind of repairs should only
be performed by qualified personnel.
•
Do not stand beneath installed clamps or their load and make sure to always keep a safe dis-
tance.
•
Keep bystanders away from the working area as distractions may lead to a loss of control and
cause severe accidents.
•
Always wear appropriate protective gear consisting of, but not limited to safety gloves, non-skid
safety shoes, and a helmet.
•
Do not use the clamp for lifting people.
•
Ensure that the centre of gravity of the hoisted load is located directly beneath the clamp and
ensure that the load is not swinging in any way.
•
Only lift loads straight up to avoid dynamic stress as well as movement of the load.
•
Always handle the beam clamp with care. Do not drop it and make sure to store it in a place
inaccessible to children.
