2.
KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
OBSERVE WORK AREA CONDITIONS. Do not use tools in damp, wet, or poorly lit
locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lit. Do not use electrically powered
equipment in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3.
4.
5.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let
them handle machines, tools, or equipment.
STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. When not in use, tools must be locked up in a dry location
to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for
which it was intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed
the tool’s capacities.
6.
7.
USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not use a tool for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
DRESS PROPERLY Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, as they can be caught in
moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended. Wear restrictive hair covering to
contain long hair. Always wear appropriate work clothing.
8.
9.
USE EYE, EAR AND BREATHING PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI approved impact
safety goggles if you are producing metal filings or wood chips. Wear an ANSI approved
dust mask or respirator when working around metal, wood, and chemical dusts and
mists. Use ANSI approved ear protection when working in a loud or noisy environment.
DO NOT ABUSE THE POWER CORD. Protect the power cord from damage, either
from impacts, pulling or corrosive materials. Do not yank machine’s cord to disconnect it
from the receptacle.
10.
11.
DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach
over or across running machines.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect
power cord periodically and, if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized technician.
Inspect all moving parts and mounting bolts prior to use. Control handle and power
switch must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
12.
13.
14.
REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Be sure that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before operation.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure that you are prepared to begin work be-
fore turning the start switch on.
STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Do not operate this machine when you are
tired.

16.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL,
DRUGS, OR PRESCRIPTION MEDICINES.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using any tool, any part that appears dam-
aged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken parts
or mounting fixtures, and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
17.
REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES. When servicing, use only identical re-
placement parts, which are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
18.
19.
DO NOT USE FOR AIRCRAFT PURPOSES.
PEOPLE WITH PACEMAKERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR PHYSICIAN(S) BEFORE
USE. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pace-
maker interference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with pacemakers should:
Avoid operating alone.
Do not use with power switch locked on.
Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
should also be implemented - it prevents sustained electrical shock.
20.
21.
THE CABLE. Be sure the cable is in good condition, and is attached properly. Do not
use the Hoist if the cable is frayed, kinked, or wrapped improperly on the reel. Do not
replace the cable with a cable of lesser strength.
POWER SUPPLY. Be sure the power cord and control handle are in good condition.
Avoid use in wet conditions, or exposing the electrical components of this hoist to mois-
ture. Route the power cord so that it is out of the way of other tools and equipment.
Take care to prevent damage to the power cord, or control handle cord. If the cord be-
comes damaged, repair or replace it before using the hoist.
22.
STAND BACK. Stay out of the direct line that the cable is pulling. If it slips or breaks, it
will “whiplash” along this line. Never stand underneath a weight being lifted. Always wear
ANSI-approved eye protection when working around tools and equipment. Do not hold
the cable while using the hoist, as your hand can become caught. Keep hands, cloth-
ing, hair and jewelry clear of the hoist while in use. Use a spotter to assist you in assur-
ing that it is safe to operate the hoist.
23.
24.
POWER LIMITS. Do not attempt to exceed the pulling limits of this hoist. Ensure that
the mount to which the hoist is attached will hold the weight you will apply using this hoist.

The cable spool will not turn freely. To pull out or wind up cable, you must operate the
power switch.
To operate the power switch, take the control handle in your hand. Press the upper part
of the rocker switch to reel in the cable. Press the lower part of the rocker cable to reel
out cable.

Check to be sure it is safe to lift or pull the item.
To pull out the cable, grasp the lift hook, and pull it away from the hoist while pressing
the lower part of the power switch . Always leave at least three turns of cable on the
spool to prevent pulling the cable out of the Hoist.

6.
Attach the cable firmly to the item using the lift hook or pulley lift hook. Never wrap the
cable around the object and hook onto the cable itself. This can cause damage to the
object being pulled, and kink or fray the cable.
Stand clear, and when it is safe to do so, use the power switch in the control handle to
retract the cable, and hoist the item as desired.
