The Eastwood Shrinker Stretcher consists of moderately heavy metal components which can be present a hand/finger pinch hazard
and cause potentially serious injuries if dropped on feet. Avoid pinching hands while handling parts during use and wear thick,
well-fitting work gloves to prevent cuts from handling sharp metal. The use of safety shoes is strongly recommended.
Avoid pressing the Jaws together accidentally without a workpiece or permanent damage to Jaw teeth can occur.
Remove Handle when not in use.
Tremendous external torque loads are placed on this Shrinker Stretcher during operation. This tool cannot be operated without
adequate support or severe personal injury or property damage can occur if it should suddenly become dislodged or moves
while in use. Before beginning ANY work with this tool, it is absolutely necessary that it be securely bolted to a heavy, sturdy,
anchored workbench.
