Personal Safety
Electric Winch Use and Care
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating
the electric winch. Do not use the electric winch while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing 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. 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.
Inspect before every use, do not use if damaged or parts loose. Examine the
winch for structural cracks, bends, damage, frayed or kinked wire rope, and any
other conditions that may affect the safe operate of the winch. Do not use the
winch even if minor damage appears. A kink permanently weakens the wire rope,
even after it is straightened out; kinked wire rope can fail suddenly and must not
be used.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Do not force the electric winch. Products are safer and do a better job when used
in the manner for which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct
electric
Store the electric winch when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of
the reach of children. Inspect the electric winch for good working condition prior
to storage and before re-use.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with
your electric winch. 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.
