General Safety
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f)
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f)
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Vehicle-Mounted Electric Winch
Safety
WARNING: Never use the winch to pull fixed or obstructed loads.
a) This tool is to be used by trained personnel only. Do not operate this tool without
proper understanding of its use and features. Read the entire instruction manual
before use.
b) Always use the instruction manual for reference. Do not try to implement
procedures not described in the manufacturer's instruction manual.
c) Ensure proper cable management at all times. Always confirm the cable is wound
in a uniform fashion when extracting/withdrawing. If the cable is wound incorrectly,
stop and rewind the cable.
d) Always maintain cable tension before load movement. Do not allow the load to
move before the cable is properly tensioned. Load movement with a slack cable will
place the winch under unnecessary strain, putting the operator or nearby bystanders
in danger.
e) DO NOT attempt to move loads above the rated load capacity. Refer to the
manufacturer's specification or instruction manual for specific information on the
tool's load capacity.
f)
DO NOT perform excessive 'inching' with the winch. Inching is the operation
in which the winch is operated in short bursts in quick succession. Inching can rapidly
overload the motor causing failure that can lead to operator or bystander injury.
g) Never use the winch as a hoist, or to tow another vehicle. Prolonged load will
cause damage to the internal components.
h) Never use the winch to transport/tow people or animals. This winch is not
designed for carrying, towing or recovering people and animals; attaching people or
animals to the winch can cause severe harm and injury.
Never lift objects vertically. This winch was designed for horizontal load movements
i)
only.
j)
Do not modify or attach unapproved accessories to the winch. Attempting to alter
the winch by fitting unapproved modifications is dangerous and will cause the winch
to operate outside its design specification.
k) Always perform proper maintenance and check for damage before every use.
Due to the high stresses inflicted on this tool, it is imperative to regularly maintain and
check for component damage before every use.
Do not apply load to the cable when fully extended. Always maintain at least 4
l)
turns of the cable reel on the winch drum.
m) Never try to cross or stand between the winch and the load whilst operating the
winch. Keep yourself and bystanders away from the path of the cable during
operation.
n) Always secure the load after operation. The winch does not feature a locking
mechanism and is not designed to be under strain for extended periods of time.
Secure the load after the winching operation has been performed.
o) If loading a boat onto a trailer without a keel or hull rollers, ensure the trailer is
submerged in the water whilst the boat is being winched. Do not attempt to drag
the boat onto the trailer.
p) Always secure the winching vehicle using wheel chocks or similar. Do not rely on
the vehicle's parking brake to secure the vehicle in position.
q) Maintain lubrication of moving components. Clean and lubricate the winch
assembly frequently; components such as the cable, hook, bearings and gearbox
should remain lubricated at all times.
r)
Leaving the winch permanently connected to the vehicles power supply may
drain the battery. Without a built-in switchbox the winch will persist to draw current
from the vehicles battery. To prevent consistently draining the battery, install a relay or
disconnect the winch from the power supply when not in use and leave ample time for
the battery to recharge.
Note: If you wish to have the winch turn on and off with the vehicles ignition, use a fused
relay circuit so that a low current circuit can turn on and off a high current connection that
is directly connected to the battery.
