GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
MOVING PARTS ENTANGLEMENT HAZARD
Failure to observe these instructions could lead to
minor or moderate injury.
To avoid injury to hands or fi ngers:
• Always keep hands clear of winch rope, hook loop, hook
and fairlead opening during installation, operation, and
when spooling in or out.
• Always keep hands and clothing clear of the rope, hook
and fairlead opening during operation and when spooling.
• Always remove any element or obstacle that may interfere
with safe operation of the drill winch.
• Never let drill/driver loose from grip. Drill/driver
kickback can occur very suddenly and with great force if
left loose.
• Always make sure the drill/driver is secured to the drill
winch driver shaft tightly. Drill/driver can come loose
and cause injury.
NOTIC E
AVOID WINCH AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
• Always avoid continuous side pulls which can pile up
winch rope at one end of the drum. This can damage
winch rope or winch.
• Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or
disengaged.
• Always avoid on/off cycles (jogging or plugging).
• Always store the drill winch in a protected, clean, dry
area.
• Always select an anchor point as far away as possible.
This will provide the drill winch with its greatest
winching power.
• Always avoid over heating the drill/driver motor.
For extended winching, stop at reasonable intervals
to allow the drill motor to cool down. See your
drill manufacturer's operating instructions for
recommended running times.

KNOW YOUR ACCESSORIES
Some of the following rigging accessories
are recommended for the safe operation
of the Drill Winch, while others off er added
versatility and convenience.
Gloves (not included): Wire winch rope,
through use, will develop "barbs" which can
slice skin. It is extremely important to wear
protective gloves while operating the Drill
Winch or handling the winch rope. Avoid
loose fitting clothes or anything that could
become entangled in the winch rope and
other moving parts.
Hook Strap (included): Used to hold
the rope hook and keep fingers away from
the fairlead as the rope is being spooled
in and out. The Drill Winch can develop
tremendous forces and can easily remove
fingers and limbs that are placed in pinch
points. Put the hook strap into the loop of
the hook and hold the strap between the
thumb and forefingers.
The WARN Winch Damper (not
included) helps to prevent rope recoil
in the event of a rope failure, which is a
pretty rare occurrence. However, if it were
to happen, this damper will help the rope
fall to the ground if such an event were to
occur.

Clevis/D-Shackles (not included): The
D-Shackle is a safe means for connecting
the looped ends of straps and snatch blocks.
The shackle's pin is threaded to allow easy
removal.
Strap (not included): Typically made
of tough, high-quality nylon, it provides
the operator an attachment method for
connecting the Drill winch rope to a load or
anchoring point.
