READ INSTRUCTIONS
• Thoroughly read and understand this manual before using.
• Save for future reference.
• This tool has leveraged, moving components that generate greatly amplified crushing and bending forces which can quickly cause
severe injury! Keep fingers and hands away from moving parts when operating.
• Tremendous external torque loads are placed on the Shrinker Stretcher Stand during operation. This tool cannot be operated without
adequate support or severe personal injury or property damage can occur if it should suddenly be become dislodged or moves while in
use. Before beginning ANY work with this tool, it is absolutely necessary that it be located on a solid, level floor surface.
Bolting to floor through 4 holes provided in the base is highly recommended.
• Strenuous physical force may need to be applied to the Shrinker Stretcher Stand during use. Failure to ensure proper footing can
quickly result in a fall which could inflict serious personal injury or property damage. Always work in a clean, uncluttered environment.
• Be sure there is sufficient working room around the tool to allow for safe handling of various sizes of metal.
• The Shrinker Stretcher Stand is equipped with a Pedal/Arm of the proper length to provide adequate bending force. DO NOT add pipe,
bars or any other devices which would add additional length to the Pedal/Arm to increase bending force. This will exceed the design
limits of the tool and can result in severe injury and/or component failure.
• Handling sharp metal can cause serious cuts. Wear thick, well-fitting work gloves to prevent cuts from handling sharp metal.
• Pieces of mill scale, rust and other debris may be ejected from the workpiece during operation. Wear ANSI approved eye protection
while operating.
• The Eastwood Elite Deep Jaw Shrinker Stretcher Stand consists of heavy metal components which can present a hand/finger pinch
hazard and cause potentially serious injuries if dropped on feet. Avoid pinching hands while handling parts during assembly and wear
thick, well-fitting work gloves to prevent cuts from handling sharp metal. The use of safety shoes is strongly recommended.
• Excessive resistance while operating could indicate a defect with the workpiece material or broken or damaged Shrinker Stretcher or
Shrinker Stretcher Stand components. To avoid injury, stop work immediately and inspect workpiece material for nicks, dents, welds,
excessive scale or remaining coatings. Clean or repair as necessary or discard and begin with a new piece. Also inspect Shrinker
Stretcher and Shrinker Stretcher Stand components for looseness or damage.
