general Safety Warnings WArning read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term ″the lift″ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) lift.

Work area safety1. Keep work area clean and well lit. a. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-dents.do not operate the lift in explosive b. atmospheres, such as in the pres-ence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. The lift may create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.Keep children and bystanders c. away while operating the lift. Dis-tractions can cause you to lose con-trol.

Electrical safety2. the lift power plugs must match a. the outlet. never modify the plug in any way. do not use any adapt-er plugs with grounded lift. Un-modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.


Avoid body contact with grounded b. surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.do not expose the lift to rain or wet c. conditions. Water entering the lift will increase the risk of electric shock.do not abuse the cord. never use d. the cord for pulling or unplugging the lift. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-crease the risk of electric shock.When operating the lift outdoors, e. use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.if operating the lift in a damp loca-f. tion is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (gfci) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

personal safety3. Stay alert, watch what you are do-a. ing and use common sense when operating the lift. do not use the lift while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the lift may result in serious personal injury.use personal protective equip-b. ment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.prevent unintentional starting. c. Ensure the switch is in the off-po-

sition before connecting to power source or moving the lift. do not overreach. Keep proper d. footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the lift in unexpected situations.dress properly. do not wear loose e. clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.only use safety equipment that f. has been approved by an appropri-ate standards agency. Unapproved safety equipment may not provide adequate protection. Eye protection must be ANSI-approved and breath-ing protection must be NIOSH-ap-proved for the specific hazards in the work area.

Lift use and care4. do not force the lift. use the cor-a. rect lift for your application. The correct lift will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-signed.do not use the lift if the switch b. does not turn it on and off. Any lift that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.disconnect the plug from the pow-c. er source before making any ad-justments, changing accessories, or storing the lift. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the lift accidentally.Store idle lift out of the reach of d. children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the lift or these instructions to operate the lift. The


lift is dangerous in the hands of un-trained users.Maintain the lift. check for mis-e. alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the lift’s operation. if damaged, have the lift repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-tained lifts.use the lift and accessories, etc. f. in accordance with these instruc-tions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the lift for operations different from those in-tended could result in a hazardous situation.

grounding to prEVEnt

ELEctric SHocK And dEAtH froM incorrEct grounding WirE connEction: Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. never remove the grounding prong from the plug. do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. if damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. if the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.


grounded tools: tools with three prong plugs

Tools marked with “Grounding Re-1. quired” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See 3-prong plug and outlet.)

The grounding prong in the plug is 2. connected through the green wire in-side the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-prong plug and outlet.)

The tool must be plugged into an 3. appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the preceding illustration. (See 3-prong plug and outlet.)

double insulated tools: tools with two prong plugs

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do 1. not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Labora-tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electri-cal Code. (See outlets for 2-prong plug.)

Double insulated tools may be used 2. in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration. (See outlets for 2-prong plug.)

Extension cordsGrounded1. tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

As the distance from the supply outlet 2. increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using exten-sion cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and pos-sible tool damage. (See table A.) The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For ex-


ample, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See table A.)

When using more than one exten-3. sion cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See table A.)

If you are using one extension cord 4. for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See table A.)

If you are using an extension cord 5. outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Make sure the extension cord is prop-6. erly wired and in good electrical con-dition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.

Protect the extension cords from 7. sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
