Tool Operation & Set-Up
Do not use fish tape near live circuits. Contact with
live circuits could result in severe injury or death.

using this tool. Injury could result from sharp edges
or from the pulling eye wipping around if the the fish
tape leaves conduit suddenly.
Do not use fish tape above rated load or use
powered pulling equipment. Overloading fish tape
could result in the tape breaking and may cause
striking or falling injuries.
