Tool Specific Safety Information

Use the correct tool and accessories for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed. Use of the
tool for operations different from those intended can
result in a hazardous situation.
Before operating this tool, read and understand:
• This operator's manual
• The instructions for any other equipment or material
used with this tool
• Markings on the tool
• Required work-site safety procedures
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may
result in serious injury.
• Rope and V-Pulley can entangle and crush
• Keep hands and body away from rope,
capstan, and V-Pulley. Fingers and hands
can be crushed, fractured, or amputated if
they become caught between the rope and the
V-Pulley.
• Do not wrap rope around hands or body. Do
not stand in spent coils or tailed rope. Hold rope
so that it may be released quickly. Entanglement
in rope could result in severe injury or death.
• Do not allow rope to overlap on the capstan.
Properly align rope on capstan with rope ramp
and V-Pulley. If an overlap occurs, immediately
shut off the cable puller and relax the tailing force
to remove overlap.
• Do not add wraps to capstan with motor
running. Rope could overlap and limbs could get
caught between the rope and capstan resulting in
crushed limbs.
• System components can break, allowing
whipping rope, flying parts and injury
• Do not stand in line with the rope pulling
direction during use. The rope is under tension
and could break.
• Do not maintain a stationary rope on a rotating
V-Pulley. A worn rope can break under tension
and whip violently.
• Do not pull rope across non-moving edges or
objects. A worn rope can break under tension
6
and whip violently.
• Use only double braided polyester or nylon
composite pulling rope in good condition and
rated for the puller in use. A worn or underrated
rope can break under tension and whip violently.
• Proper set up is essential to minimizing risk
during use.
• One operator must control the work process,
machine operation and foot switch. Only the
operator should be in the area near the machine
while it is running. This helps reduce the risk of
injury to the operator and bystanders.
• Do not lock foot switch in ON position. The
operator should always be in control of the tool to
reduce the risk of injury from uncontrolled machine
movement.
• Maintain communication between operators.
Loss of communication increases the risk of injury
and damage to the tool and cable.
• Do not use the Pull Assist as a winch or hoist.
The Pull Assist is not designed to lift or lower a
load. The load may fall and damage to the tool can
result.
• Wear protective gloves when handling pulling
rope. Gloves protect the hands from the rope and
help the operator maintain a good grip.
