OUTRIGGER SET SAFETY
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep your work area clean, uncluttered, and well lit.
Cluttered areas invite injuries and accidents. Keep the
ground clear of tripping hazards. Do not work on floor
surfaces that are slippery with sawdust or wax.
2. Observe work area conditions. Keep bystanders at a
safe distance from the work area. Never allow children
or pets near the tool.
3. To avoid contact and shock hazard, do not use the
scaffolding near energized power lines or electrical
lines. Do not contact unprotected, energized electrical
power lines or other power sources with the scaffolding
or tools. Maintain at least 10 feet from electrical lines.
Consult the power company to shut off the power or in-
sulate/relocate lines if a job requires working closer than
10 feet to electrical lines.
4. Only assemble and use the scaffolding on a flat, level
surface capable of supporting the tool with its maximum
capacity load. It is easy to lose control if attempting to
pull a load on a sloping or uneven surface.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Wear ANSI Z87.1-approved impact safety goggles, a
hard hat, heavy-duty work gloves and OSHA-specified
safety harness during assembly and use. Wear addi-
tional safety gear as required by local, state and federal
regulations.
2. Dress for safety. Do not wear loose clothing, neckties,
or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) Always wear non-slip
footwear and tie back long hair.
3. Stay alert - watch what you’re doing and use com-
mon sense when using the scaffolding. Do not use while
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication that may affect your ability to properly use
the tool. A moment of inattention while using the scaf-
fold may result in serious personal injury.
SCAFFOLDING USE & CARE
1. Follow all current OSHA (Occupational Safety and
Health Administration) guidelines for setup, use and
maintenance of the scaffolding. Scaffolding safety regu-
lations may change periodically. The operator is respon-
sible for being familiar with and obeying current OSHA
guidelines as well as local, state and federal regulations
regarding the set-up and use of this product.
2. Use the right product for the job. There are certain
applications for which this tool was designed. Unauthor-
ized modification may damage the tool and/or cause per-
sonal injuries.
3. Check for damaged or worn out parts before using the
scaffolding. Check for alignment of moving parts, jam-
ming, breakage, improper mounting, or any other condi-
tions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced before
use. Do not attempt to straighten deformed parts, as this
will weaken their structural integrity. Bent parts should
be replaced immediately.
4. Make sure all guards and fasteners are secure after
assembly or adjustments. All connections should be
tight before operation.
5. Acids and other corrosive substances may severely
affect the integrity of the scaffolding. Use extreme care
around such materials and follow applicable instruc-
tions. Do not use acids or other corrosive substances on
scaffolding parts, as they could corrode the metal and
decrease its strength.
6. Immediately remove scaffolding from use and discard
if exposed to excessive heat (such as fire), which could
cause a loss of structural integrity.
7. Do not permit oil, grease, or other slippery material to
accumulate on climbing or gripping surfaces.
8. Do not use the product if the platform surface is dam-
aged or has deteriorated. Only use the included platform
or an identical replacement platform. The platform must
not extend beyond the base support.
