SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
TRIPOD CHAIN VISE
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions provided with the tri-
pod chain vise and any power tools to be used
with the tripod chain vise. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warn-
ings and instructions for future reference.
• Properly assemble the tripod chain vise before use.
Proper assembly is important to prevent risk of collapse.
• Place the tripod chain vise on a solid, at and
level surface. When the tripod chain vise can shift or
rock, the power tool or workpiece cannot be steadily
and safely controlled.
• When collapsed, place tripod chain vise on it's
side or secure before leaving unattended. Leaving
the collapsed tripod chain vise vertically may cause
the tripod chain vise to tip over.
• Do not overload the tripod chain vise or use as
ladder or sca󰀨olding. Overloading or standing on
the tripod chain vise may cause the pipe to fall, or
the tripod chain vise to tip over, causing injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Use the tripod
chain vise on at, level, dry, and hard surfaces only.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered, dark
work areas invite accidents.
• Maintain control. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
• Maintain tripod chain vise carefully. Keep tripod
chain vise dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Follow instructions for changing accessories. Periodi-
cally inspect tripod chain vise for damage and wear.
• Keep bystanders away. Children and bystanders
should be kept at a safe distance from the work area
to avoid distracting the operator.
• To reduce the risk of injury, always wear eye
protection.
• Inspect the tripod chain vise and screws periodi-
cally and replace immediately if cracked, worn, or
damaged. Do not attempt to x or mend damaged
tripod chain vise or fasteners.
• Fingers can be pinched between the legs and
the underside of the tabletop. To reduce the risk
of injury, keep ngers out of the areas where the
legs will secure into place.
• To prevent pipe from slipping, inspect jaws and
replace when teeth are worn.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free
replacement.
• Always use common sense and be cautious when
using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every
situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
Do not use this tool if you do not understand these
operating instructions or you feel the work is beyond
your capability; contact Milwaukee Tool or a trained
professional for additional information or training.
