Precautions for safety operation (Pages 1〜10 are common to all lifting clamp models) Be sure to read this instruction manual carefully before use. Mistaken use of lifting clamp may cause a danger such as dropping of load. Education of “crane safety regulations,” “operation manual for lifting clamp,”...
1. Handling in general WARNING ● Do not operate until the contents of the operation manual, and caution tag/plate are thoroughly read and understood. ● Do not operate without a legal qualification. ● Be sure to clear of the area of the operation for lifting or turning a load against possible drop off or fall over.
3. Lifting operation WARNING ● Do not use clamp, lifting at one point. (excluding special or custom ordered products) ● Do not use the clamp in the following ways of lifting: lifting of two or more individual objects at one time. (overlapped loads, padded load etc.
Page 7
● Stop the lifting operation by crane for a moment when the load is applied to the lifting ring for safety checking. (depth of the load into the clamp opening; status of locking). ● Stop the operation of the crane just before the load reaches the ground, and check the following matters: (Inclination or Instructed falling over of the load and security around the landing area...

■ General warning for use (common to all lifting clamp models) Be sure to select proper model clamps for use. Pay special attentions to keep the lifting direction (rope angle). Confirm the weight of the load. Do not exceed maximum capacity (designated ton) on clamps.
Page 9
Never lift two or more steel plates or steel members at a time. The load may move to an unexpected direction when lifted off the ground and as such confirm the center of gravity and the clamping posi- tion for safety when raising. Sufficient caution should be taken until the clamp with the load becomes completely balanced.

Never use the clamps like below. (The clamp might deform or break.) ④ Pulling out a plate from a stack. Pulling or bending of iron plate by using a press. Pulling out sheet pile. ⑤ Other Handling Precautions See P.2-10, P.17 for other handling instructions.
3. DISASSEMBLING AND ASSEMBLING ① Pad Disassembling socket wrench After Cam is in the open lock state, insert a socket wrench hexagon bar spanner that matches the nut into the rear part of Pad, insert a hexagon bar spanner into the bolt on the pad side, loosen the nut, and remove Pad.
■ CAUTION: ◆ Use within the rated capacity. ◆ Use within the clamp range. ◆ Do not use for any objects other than steel materials. ◆ Do not use for hard (30 HRC or higher) load. ◆ Lifting is not allowed for a load tapering down in upward direction. ◆...
