 Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not
use the tool 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 ANSI Z87.1 compliant
safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. 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. Do not reach over or across
running machines
 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.
⚠CAUTION
CRANE USE AND CARE
 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
crane 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 crane for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your crane.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than
the tool itself.
