1. GENERAL
Please carefully read the instructions in this user manual before using the lifting
clamp. If you have any doubts, please consult with your dealer.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new REMA CNMA safety lifting clamp.
Because of our extensive experience and quality control, REMA is able to
guarantee optimum quality and safety. REMA lifting clamps are made of high-
quality alloyed steel and fully comply with the European standards and
requirements, as laid down in Machine Directive 98/37/EC.
2. APPLICATIONS
The REMA CNMA has been equipped with two clamping jaws, which have been
provided with a special plastic layer. The clamp is used for hoisting, turning, or
vertically transporting work pieces that may not be damaged while being moved.
These pieces may be made from various materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum,
wood or stone, but with the exclusion of course concrete. After hoisting, the damp
will not leave any signs of damage. The damp is locked in both the open and the
closed position. Using the REMA CNMA safety lifting clamp, you may only transport
or hoist a single plate at a time. The safety clamp has been equipped with a safety
locking device, allowing the load to be safely lifted and vertically transported at all
times. To hoist the above-mentioned materials, the CNMA safety clamps may be
applied singly, as a set of two, or even using three or more. To ensure a balanced
load distribution across the lifting clamps, we recommend using an equalizing
device when using more than two clamps. For additional technical documentation,
please refer to the manufacturer.
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Position the opened damp onto the plate correctly and completely, in such a
way that the clamp's damping blocks are in full contact with the plate. Apply the
safety locking device. The damp will dose and remain onto the plate in
pretension position. The plate is now ready to be hoisted. Once the load has
reached its destination, the safety clamp may be removed. To do so, make sure
to lower the crane hook until the clamp is fully unloaded. This can be verified by
the slackness of the hoisting chain and a free movement of the damp's lifting
shackle and chain. Next, move the safety locking device towards the clamping
blocks. This will open up the clamp and leave it in opened position. The clamp
may be used again immediately, or stored in opened position.
4. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Remember: safety first! Especially where your personal safety and that of the
immediate onlookers is concerned. Carefully read the following safety instructions
before using your new CNMA safety lifting clamp.
Ensure your own safety and continue to benefit from our product safety by
having the clamp inspected, tested, and, if necessary, overhauled at least once
a year by REMA or another recognized mechanical repair and service centre.
See also Section 8 - Overhaul. It is not permitted to make any constructive
modifications to the clamps, for example by means of welding or grinding.
Please contact REMA for further information.
