the safe, proper use and maintenance of this product.
WARNING:
CABLE CAN RETURN SUDDENLY To avoid serious injury or death: Load MUST be fully
attached to retractor before adjusting tension.
CAUTION:
Do NOT Over-Tension retractor main spring. This will reduce cable travel and spring life.
Before making spring tension adjustments please check the following:
Tool and all accessories are attached to lower tool clip.
