Electrical Safety

Dangerous environment
• Do not use power tools in damp or wet conditions, or expose them to
rain. Provide adequate surrounding work space and keep the area well
lit. Do not use power tools where there is a risk of explosion or fire from
combustible material, flammable liquids, flammable gases, or dust of
an explosive nature. When using power tools, avoid contact with any
earthed items such as pipes, radiators, cookers, refrigerators, metal
baths and taps
Protect yourself from vibration
• Hand-held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause
disease. Gloves may help to maintain good blood circulation in the
fingers. Hand-held tools should not be used for long periods without a
break
Switch off before connecting
• Ensure the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power
source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to
OFF
Always disconnect
• Before changing fittings or accessories, always disconnect the tool from
the power source
Do not abuse the power cable
• Be sure the cable / extension cable is in good condition. Always have
a damaged cable / extension cable replaced at an authorised service
centre before using. Never pull the cable to disconnect it from the power
socket. Never carry the tool by its cable. Keep the cable away from damp,
heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges
Maintain your power tool
• Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times, otherwise
overheating and fire may occur
Do not modify the power tool
• Do not modify the power tool in any way as this could result in serious
injury and may invalidate its guarantee
Do not leave the tool running unattended
• Always wait until the tool has completely stopped functioning and has
been unplugged before leaving it unattended

500W Electric Hoist
Electric Hoist Safety Instructions
• Before each use inspect the steel cable for imperfections and
weaknesses. Do not use if the cable is frayed, kinked or wrapped
improperly around the reel. If the cable requires replacing do not replace
with a cable of lesser strength. Always leave at least three turns of the
cable on the spool to ensure that the hoist is able to lift the stated weight
capacity
• Inspect the operator's controller before attempting to use the hoist. Do
not use if the controller is damaged. Avoid operating the hoist in damp
or wet conditions
• Stand clear of any item being lifted by the hoist or underneath any item
being suspended by the hoist
• Do not hold the steel cable while lifting or lowering any item
• Never operate this tool alone, always have an extra person to help guide
the object being lifted
• Observe the maximum capacities and height limitations mentioned in the
specifications. Never exceed the figures
• Ensure the hoist is mounted to a beam which has a maximum capacity
which is double the capacity of the hoist. The beam should be at least
43mm in diameter and have a wall thickness of at least 3mm
• The hoist is not designed for continuous use and the motor has an in-
built thermostat to prevent overheating and overloading. If the thermostat
is activated, the 'cool down' period will be approximately 5 minutes. If the
motor is exposed to direct sunlight it will severely reduce its operating
time before the thermostat will activate the 'cool down' period
• The electric hoist is fitted with an automatic shut off when it has reached
its highest point and lowest point. The height limiter is activated when
the Switch Off Weight (8) reaches the Automatic Switch Off Lever (Lifting)
(7). The lowering limiter is activated when the cable reaches the lowest
possible point and the cable is still safe to hold the maximum load, the
cable then engages with the Automatic Switch Off Lever (Lowering) (6).
• Always ensure that the unit is wound as shown:
