Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid
personal injury or damage to tool.
1.
Do not operate any tool when tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medications.

SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to the tool safety rules. If you use
this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1.
Keep hands and body away from the fairlead (cable intake slot) when
operating.
2. Do not exceed the winch load capacity. Do not overload the winch. It
will do the job better at the load it was intended.
3.
Be certain the winch is properly bolted to a structure (or vehicle) that
can hold the winch load.
4.
Always use proper couplings when connecting the winch cable hook to
the load.
5.
Do not lift items vertically. The winch was designed for horizontal use
only. Never lift people or hoist loads over people.
6. Do not use inappropriate attachments to extend the length of the
winch cable.
7.
Never come in between the winch and the load when operating.
8. Never fully extend the cable while under load. Keep four complete
turns of cable around the winch drum.
9. After moving an item with the winch, secure the item. Do not rely on
the winch to hold it for an extended period.
10. Examine the winch before using. Components may be affected by
exposure to chemical salts and rust.
11. When loading a boat into a trailer without keel or side hull rollers,
make sure the trailer is submerged in the water when the boat is
loaded by the winch. Attempting to drag the boat on to the trailer
while on land can cause winch failure and possible injury.
