for wear and tear or damage. Do not attempt to lift
anything with the DCE592 until you have replaced the seal.
c ) When not in use keep the seal protected with the seal
protector.Store the tool in its protective bag/case or store
on smooth surface to avoid denting or tearing the seal.
d ) Be wary of high winds when lifting large panels.
e ) User should wear safety glasses and steel toe
safety shoes.
f ) Do not lift overhead, and keep area beneath tool
and load clear of people, pets and anything that
could be damaged at all times.
g ) Keep fingers away from vacuum pad while attaching
to load, it may pinch while the foam rubber seal
is compressing.
h ) Must not use tool as a tether anchor for persons
or objects.
i ) The load capacity for porous materials will be
much lower than for nonporous materials and
also if being lifted from the vertical orientation or
horizontal orientation.
j ) Wet conditions may result in lower load capacity.
k ) Care must be taken when lifting slippery
materials, especially in a vertical orientation,
since they could slide off of the lifter.
l ) User should use proper lifting technique and
positioning to avoid injury.
m ) DO NOT use the tool on flexible materials. This
includes thin plastic films and sheets. The suction can bend
the material against the gasket and break the vacuum
seal, resulting in material dropping/breaking.
n ) DO NOT use the tool on 1/8" (3 mm) or thinner glass.
Factors that Alter the Vacuum Lifter's
Lifting Capacity and Related Limitations.
Several factors known to affect the vacuum lifter's lifting
capacity are noted below.
1. load rigidity. The rigidity may cause the vacuum lifter
and the structure to be loaded unevenly. The rigidity may
vary depending on orientation.
2. load strength. Stress induced by the load's own weight
and the stress from the vacuum lifter may damage the load.
3. load surface conditions. Uneven or rough surfaces may
affect the foam rubber seal's ability to attach or maintain a
seal. Frictional properties may affect the capacity.
4. load overhang. As the load extends past the supports
of the foam rubber seal, the load may be damaged or
deflect and peel away from the foam rubber seal.
5. Angle of the load. The effect of the coefficient of
friction between the load and foam rubber seal becomes
significant when the load is not horizontal. Angling load
could cause load to slide off lifter.
6. number of DCE592's attached to the load. The capacity
varies with the number of vacuum lifter fully attached to
the load.
7. load temperature. Elevated or extremely low
temperatures may damage the foam rubber seal or affect
the function of the seal. Only operate the lifter between
14 °F (-10 °C) and 104 °F (40 °C).
8. high Altitude Warning: Lifting capacity will be reduced
at elevations above 4,000 ft (1220 m). Always ensure load
is secure and balanced by performing a test lift before
continuing to move the material.
Operating Practices
1. An operator shall not use a lifting device that is tagged "Out
of Service" or otherwise designated as nonfunctioning.
2. "Out of Service" tags on lifting devices shall not be
removed without the approval of the person placing
them or a designated person.
3. The lifter, when not in use, should be stored at an
assigned location.
4. Caution should be taken that operation markings, warning
labels or tags shall not be removed or defaced. Missing or
illegible warning labels or tags shall be replaced.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•
ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•
NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
•
lead from lead‑based paints,
•
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
•
arsenic and chromium from
chemically‑treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well‑ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
•
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lie on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face and body.
Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
•
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to
the operator and those in close proximity.
Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
•
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
CAUTION: When not in use, the seal protector
should be reinstalled and the tool placed on the
protector. Leaving tool on its side poses a risk of
damaging the seal.
