Work Area
1.
Keep work area clean and well lit.
2.
Do not operate power tools in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3.
Keep bystanders and visitors away when operating machine.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Protect others by using common sense. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
4.
Grounded machine must be plugged into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove grounded plug or modify in any way.
If
machine electrically malfunctions, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from
user.
5.

Keep cord away from any moving parts or edges. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
Personal Safety
1.

Be
aware of what is happening when machine is operating. Not paying attention may result in serious
personal injury.
2.
Avoid accidental starting.
Make sure all parts of machine are securely in place before starting.
Assuring
all parts are securely attached, every time, reduces the risk of accidents.
3.
Do not stand between load and machine.
Staying away from moving parts and winding cable will reduce
the likelihood of injury. There is no reason to be between load and machine.
4.

cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Machine Use and Care
1.
Use care when operating machine. Always pull load from STRIAGHT AHEAD!!
Pulling load at an angle
highly increases the risk for failure and serious injury.
2.
Continually check operating machine for a level and uniformly winding cable.
Visually watch cable as it
wraps on spool and ensure level winding.
Unleveled winding will cause kinks and frays in cable resulting
in higher risk of failure. Replace damaged cable IMMEDIATELY.
3.
Always keep hands away from moving parts. If cable is not winding smoothly, change angle of the
machine by resetting the base. NEVER try to “steer” the cable with your hands.
Keep both hands on
remote control while operating.
4.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tool's operation
. If damaged, have the tool serviced before use. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in risk of injury.
5.
After each use, check all bolts, nuts and screws.
Vibration during use may cause them to loosen.
Re‐tighten if necessary. This will reduce the risk of injury.
6.
Inspect cable and cable spool before each use. Never operate if cable shows any signs of weakening, is
knotted or kinked, or wrapped improperly around the cable spool.
If cable shows any signs of wear or
damage, replace immediately.
7.
Always unplug machine from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance or
cleaning procedures.
8.
Periodically unwind entire cable and lubricate with a light oil. Check for breaks and cracks in cable.
Replace with same type of cable if damaged.
