NEMO GRABO® lifting capaci ty
NOTICE: The Nemo GRABO® was tested up to 240 kg (530 lbs) at maximum lifting force under ideal conditions. However, this figure is the breaking point under optimal lab testing conditions and must never be reached in real- world applications!
Local regulations require different safety margins to be used and the official tool Working Load Limit (WLL) is set to 120 kg (265 lbs) based on a 2:1 ratio on a non-porous surface. The Working Load Limit of 120 kg (265 lbs) is one- half of the tested maximum lifting force under ideal conditions (240 kg/530 lbs) and should be adhered to when working in countries where the 2:1 safety margin applies, regardless of the fact that the chart below shows a maximum lifting force of 170 kg (375 lbs). In no case should the Nemo GRABO® be used to lift more than 170 kg (375 lbs). Use the chart below to estimate safe lifting values:

WLL: 120 kg (265 lbs) on non-porous surfaces

IMPORTANT:   The lifting force is highly dependent on the lifted surface and factors such as temperature, altitude (ambient pressure), and other factors.
Always check the pressure displayed on the Nemo GRABO® Pressure gauge Ⓖ and do not rely solely on the estimated maximum lifting forces chart when lifting different materials since different factors related to your specific application may reduce lifting capabilities of the tool.

SAFETY

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
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 your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
   b. Do not operate power tools in an explosive atmosphere, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite 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 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 a 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 a dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, a 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 a power source and/or battery and picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing 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 and clothing 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. Removal of dust can reduce dust related hazards.
   h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 on and off easily. 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 remove the battery, if detachable, 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.
   h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
   a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
   i. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery. Use of any other battery may create a risk of injury and fire.
   j. When battery is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
   k. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
   l. Do not use a battery or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
   m. Do not expose a battery or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C/265 °F may cause an explosion.
   n. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

6. 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.
   b. Never service a damaged battery. Service of battery should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

VACUUM LIFTING DEVICE SAFETY WARNINGS/INSTRUCTIONS
a. Do not deliberately try to rip the load off with extreme force. There is a risk of the load crushing feet and hands and damaging the object and tool.
b. Do not lift objects weighing more than 170 kg (375 lbs). There is a risk the weight can fall off.
c. Risk of load crushing feet and hands and damaging the object and tool. Do not shake the tool while lifting, moving and placing objects. Do not swing or shake the load while lifting, moving and placing objects. Do not use the tool when the seal is worn out. Lift and carry the load with uniform speed without sudden sharp and strong movements.
d. Do not use the tool while the battery is low. There is a risk of injury and damage to the materials being lifted.
e. If the sealing force begins to noticeably decrease while the battery is fully charged, check the rubber foam seal for wear and tear or damage. Do not attempt to lift anything with the tool until you have replaced the seal.
f. Use caution when lifting large thin flexible sheets, like drywall, cardboard, plastic, plywood, thin sheet metal etc. Thin sheets bend and flex and can unexpectedly change curvature above their limit and detach.
g. Do not attach the tool to surfaces with visible puddles of water. Internal components are not waterproof. If water is sucked into the air ducts it can cause permanent damage to the tool. The Nemo GRABO® is not waterproof and therefore extreme caution should be taken when using it in the rain or wet conditions.
h. Do not drop the tool from heights above 1.5 meter above the ground (chest level). If dropped by accident, inspect the seal side lips for damage.
i. Do not place heavy objects on top of the tool.
j. To avoid overheating, do not cover the tool.
k. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before transporting the tool and when in storage. Be mindful that the tool is not switched on accidental.
l. NOTICE: Due to the high pressure that is created with the Nemo GRABO® we strongly recommend that you do not attempt to attach the Nemo GRABO® to glass thinner than 6mm thick. Damage can occur to glass that is thinner than 6mm thick.

WARNING: Weight may drop without warning if the safety precautions are not kept! The Nemo GRABO® creates a strong vacuum. In case the seal is broken or the allowed weight is exceeded or any other factor that causes the negative pressure to release spontaneously, this kind of failure will happen very suddenly and absolutely without any sensory indication or warning. You will not notice the weight detaching and there will be no possibility to stop or catch it. This is very dangerous, especially with heavy loads. Therefore all safety precautions should be kept to the maximum.

RUBBER FOAM SEAL USAGE AND SAFETY
The rubber foam seal is made of two parts: black rubber foam and red silicon seal. Black rubber foam is mostly used to create initial vacuum. After it compresses, the red seal holds the longest and strongest seal. As long as the initial seal is formed to get suction, the “strong” seal will also be formed. The rubber foam seal uses patented technology and is one of the main components of the tool. It should be handled with caution as it directly impacts the overall performance and safety.
a. The seal can withstand an estimated 900 compression cycles, depending on force and duration of compression, without any damage.
b. Avoid rubbing the seal over rough surfaces. Seal material is very prone to parallel wear (moving parallel to rough surface in ironing motion). Lift perpendicularly on very rough surfaces. Rubbing the seal over a smooth surface such as granite in the presence of thick abrasives (thick sand) will damage the seal and may cause unexpected detachment.
c. Surfaces with very sharp edges should not be lifted in parallel hold. Edges sharper than 45 degrees may damage the seal and lead to sudden vacuum loss and sudden detachment. The motor should always be on.
d. Always store the seal covered with a hard cover. The seal can be easily damaged by sharp corners and edges when in storage. The seal should not be stored with any sharp tools or in contact with any hard objects (e.g. inside a toolbox).
e. Do not dip the seal in water. The rubber foam seal is slightly water absorbent. Unless it is fully dipped in water and soaking wet, slightly soaking the seal with water will not damage its performance. If it is soaked in water, it can be squeezed by hand like a sponge to dry without damage. It is advisable to use a dry seal to avoid water getting sucked into air ducts and inside the body.

Do not dip or use the seal in the presence of any oil-based products. Oil and oil products (machine oil + lubricants) will permanently damage the seal and cannot be removed. If the seal has absorbed any oil, it should be disposed of safely, the base should be cleaned, and the seal replaced.
Do not use or store the seal in the presence of chemical solvents. Kerosene, acetone, turpentine, benzene, acids, etc. and even their fumes in closed spaces or thin layers on surfaces can melt the seal and damage its structure and cause failure.

EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS USED ON TOOL

❸ Wear protective shoes and gloves
❹ Do not dispose of the tool together with household waste material

NOISE EMISSION/VIBRATION

• A-weighted sound pressure level LpA=79.4 dB(A), uncertainty K=3 dB(A). A-weighted sound power level LwA=71.4 dB(A), uncertainty K=3 dB(A).
• Vibration total value=1.240 m/s² , uncertainty K=0.11 m/s². The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. It’s necessary to identify safety measures to protect the operator based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (under consideration of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

TRANSPORT
The lithium-equivalent content in the batteries is below applicable limit values. Regulations governing hazardous goods may be relevant when transporting several batteries. In this case, it may be necessary to comply with special conditions, such as those governing packaging. Always make sure the national installation regulations are observed.

ASSEMBLY
CONNECTING A STRAP TO THE NEMO GRABO® ❺

• As an option, you can attach a strap to the Nemo GRABO® to carry the device safely.

1. Locate the four attachment rings Ⓕ .
2. Connect a strap to any two of these attachment rings.
3. Secure each of the clips at the ends of a strap into an attachment ring.

OPERATION

LIFTING TECHNIQUES

• Plan ahead. Know what you are lifting and how you will lift it. Be aware of the weight of the object. Determine whether or not it is safe to lift on your own. Make sure the work area is flat, dry and clear of debris.
• Check your path. Make sure the lift path is clear. Remove any tripping hazards or debris. Check for any wet or slick surfaces.
• Use ergonomic equipment. Use lift assists such as a forklift, dolly, cart, hand truck, or hoist.
• Make sure you are trained before using the equipment.
• Get help when needed. When lifting awkward or heavy loads, utilize a two person lift. Make sure you lift at the same time and keep the load level.
• Wear proper required protective shoes and gloves.
• Basic diagonal lifting technique: ❻
  Use this basic lifting technique for small objects when you can straddle the load and use a wide stance.

1. Get as close to the object as possible.

2. Use a wide stance with one foot forward and to the side of the object for good balance.

3. Keep your back straight, push your buttocks out. Use your legs and hips to lower yourself down to the object.

4. Move the object as close to you as possible.

5. Put your hand (same side of your body as the forward foot) on the side of the object farthest from you.

6. When lifting the load holding the Nemo GRABO® with one hand, secure the load with your other hand.

7. Prepare for lifting, tighten your core muscles, look forward and upward, and maintain a straight and strong back.
   Do not hold your breath while lifting. Do not bend or twist your waist. Do not use a partial grip (1-2 fingers). Do not obstruct your vision when carrying. Do not jerk or lift quickly. Do not pinch your fingers or toes.

8. Lift slowly and follow with your head and shoulders. Hold the load close to your body. Lift by extending your legs with your back straight, and breathe out as you lift. Pivot your feet to avoid twisting.

CHARGING THE BATTERY BEFORE FIRST USE ❼
