IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To reduce risk of injury:
1. Read and understand the entire owner’s
manual before attempting assembly or
operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted
on the tool and in this manual. Failure to
comply with all of these warnings may cause
serious injury and/or damage to property.
3. Replace the warning labels if they become
obscured or are missing.
4. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work
area.
Keep children away.
5. Give your work undivided attention. Looking
around, carrying on a conversation and
“horse-play” are careless acts that can result
in serious injury.
6. Provide for adequate space surrounding
work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
7. This chain hoist is designed and intended for
use by properly trained and experienced
personnel only. If you are not familiar with
the proper and safe operation of a chain
hoist, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.
8. Do not use this chain hoist for other than its
intended use. If used for other purposes,
JET disclaims any real or implied warranty
and holds itself harmless from any injury that
may result from that use.
9. Do not use to lift people or loads over
people.
10. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the
chain hoist.
11. Do not use more than hand power to pull the
hand chain.
12. Do not use the load chain as a sling; this
may cause damage to the chain.
13. Always inspect the chain hoist for damage
prior to use. If the chain hoist is damaged,
do not use until it has been repaired or
replaced.
14. Do not use more than one chain hoist to lift
or move a load. If this is unavoidable, each
chain hoist must have the same capacity as
the load to be moved.
15. Never allow the load chain to “set” over
sharp edges. All lifts must be made with
straight chain that is free of obstacles.
16. If the hand chain is difficult to operate, then
the load exceeds the capacity of the chain
hoist. Select a chain hoist of larger capacity.
17. Do not use a chain hoist unless load is
centered between top and bottom hooks.
18. Always take time to study the job to be
performed and choose the safest method.
Do not place yourself or other people in an
unsafe position.
19. Stand to one side of the load being lifted and
make sure no one else is standing
underneath when lifting a load. Should a
load slip, it will descend at a high rate of
speed and can cause serious injuries to
anyone standing directly underneath.
20. Leave all internal maintenance to a qualified
JET Service Center.
21. Replace the chain with factory replacement
chain only. Do not use any other type of
chain.
22. If welding near the hoist, do not allow the
chain or hook to be touched by a live
electrode. Prevent weld splatter upon the
chain.
23. Never use the chain hoist if either hook is
stretched, deformed, or has a broken or
missing safety latch. Always replace the
safety latch and/or the hook before placing
the chain hoist back into service.
24. Understand and follow all procedures as set
forth in American National Standards titled
“Performance Standard for Hand Chain
Manually Operated Chain Hoists.”
ANSI/ASME HST-2; and
“Overhead Hoists
(Underhung),”
ANSI/ASME B30.16. These
standards are available through the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers,
www.ASME.org
