
Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit.
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work areas
may put you dangerously close to other cutting tools and rotating parts.

Do not use the crane where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite the
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

Do not allow the crane to come into contact with an electrical source. The crane is not insulated
and contact will cause electrical shock.

Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow
children to handle the product.

Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in your
work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause personal injury
and/or property damage if contacted.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the crane. Do not
use it while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSIZ87.1 compliant safety
goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask in
dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems,
and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety precaution
allows for proper tool operation using both hands.

Do not force the crane. Products do a better job and are safer when used in the manner for which
they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.

Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the crane will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the
product with a damaged part.

Store the crane when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product.
