Specified Conditions of Use

The chain hoist is only intended for lifting and lowering fixed loads, taking into account the technical data and safety instructions.
The chain hoist may not be used to move loads that are firmly secured or connected with the floor.
It is not permitted to use the chain hoist to move loads horizontally, nor to move hanging loads diagonally.
People or animals must not be transported.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use. Not observing general regulations in force and instructions from this manual does not make the manufacturer liable for damages.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed for commercial, craft or industrial use. If the equipment is used in commercial, craft or industrial operation or for similar activities, we cannot assume any liability.
When the hoist is not fitted with a rated capacity indicator the manufacturer shall inform that this hoist shall be used only in those applications, for which the rated capacity
of the hoist does not vary with the position of the load.

Safety instructions for electrical chain hoists

The chain hoist may only be use to lift loads that do not exceed the maximum load capacity set out in the technical data and on the nameplate provided by the manufacturer. Do not overload the chain hoist!
The permanent suspension of objects is not permitted.
Before using the chain hoist, check that the chain and the fastening hooks are in good condition and only use lifting aids that are permitted for and suitable for the load in question for securing the load.
Before carrying out the intended work with the chain hoist, you must check the load-carrying capacity of the weight-bearing structures.
Loads that are not secured in accordance with the regulations and could fall to the floor may not be lifted.
Check the cable and/or socket for damages before the appliance putting into operation. To avoid danger, a damaged mains supply pipe must be replaced by the manufacturer. Do not move loads that could roll or fall over by themselves. If necessary, take action to avoid this. 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.
Keep children and other persons including animals in a safe distance when using the appliance. Minimum safe distance is 5 m. It is prohibited to stand or work under suspended loads. Switch off the apparatus, disconnect it from mains by unplugging and allow it to cool down before setting up, retrofitting, cleaning, performing maintenance, storing or transporting the apparatus.
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. Pulling the cable could damage both the cable and plug. As a result, electric safety would no longer be guaranteed.
Only use splash proof extension cables approved for outdoor purposes.
Wear suitable protective clothing such as sturdy shoes with non-slip sole, robust long trousers, gloves, safety glasses and hearing protection!
Do not wear loose clothing or jewels. Hear, clothing and gloves must be out of reach of moving parts as they could get caught by the rotating parts.
Do not use the appliance when barefooted or in open sandals. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Do not use the appliance in bad weather, especially when there is a risk of storm.
Provide adequate lighting or good lighting conditions when working with the machine..
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

Do not touch any dangerous moving parts before the machine has been disconnected from the power supply and the moving parts have come to a complete standstill.
Check all screw and plug-in connections and protective equipment if firm and tightened properly and whether all moving parts are running smooth whenever the appliance is to be put into operation.
The protective equipment on the appliance is strictly prohibited to be disassembled, changed, used in conflict with the designation and it is prohibited to attach any protective equipment of other manufacturers.
The machine must not be used under any circumstances if the machine or the safety devices are damaged.
The chain hoist has a limit stop that stops the motor in the event the chain is retracted entirely.

Do not expose tools to rain. Do not use tools in damp or wet locations.
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.
Do not use the device near flammable liquids or gases. Risk of fire and explosion in case of short circuit. Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and frost free place, which cannot be accessed by children.
The packaging protects the machine against damage during transport. Packaging materials are usually chosen based on environment aspects and waste treatment principles and are therefore recyclable. Returning the packaging into material circulation saves raw materials and reduces waste production. Parts of packagings (e.g. foils, styropor®) can be dangerous for children.

Residual Risk

Even when the device is used properly and all safety regulations are complied with, there still may be some residual risks.
Limbs may be crushed when lowering the load. When lowering the chain hoist, do not reach or stand under the load.

Working Instructions

• Do not lift the load in one go. After lifting the load (chain tensioned), test the brake function approx.
  10 cm above the floor by lifting and lowering the load.

• Avoid excessive inching (e.g. giving short pulses to the motor).

• Never drag the load over the floor.

• Loads to be lifted may only be hoisted vertically!
  Never hoist or pull diagonally!

• Ensure that the chain never has any knots.

• Never lift the load with 2 chain hoists.

• Never swing the load to move the load outside the axis of the chain hoist.

• Never secure the load on the tip of the karabiner.

• Never lift loads that are hooked on outside the priority axis.

• Never wrap the chain around the load to be lifted.

• The mechanical gear brake holds the weight of the load even after the system has been switched off or in the event of a power outage.
