SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES TRIPOD CHAIN VISE

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions provided with the tri- pod chain vise and any power tools to be used with the tripod chain vise. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warn-ings and instructions for future reference.

• Properly assemble the tripod chain vise before use. Proper assembly is important to prevent risk of collapse.
• Place the tripod chain vise on a solid, flat and level surface. When the tripod chain vise can shift or rock, the power tool or workpiece cannot be steadily and safely controlled.•
• When collapsed, place tripod chain vise on it’s side or secure before leaving unattended. Leaving the collapsed tripod chain vise vertically may cause the tripod chain vise to tip over.•
• Do not overload the tripod chain vise or use as ladder or scaffolding. Overloading or standing on the tripod chain vise may cause the pipe to fall, or the tripod chain vise to tip over, causing injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Avoid dangerous environments. Use the tripod chain vise on flat, level, dry, and hard surfaces only.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered, dark work areas invite accidents.
• Maintain control. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Maintain tripod chain vise carefully. Keep tripod chain vise dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Follow instructions for changing accessories. Periodically inspect tripod chain vise for damage and wear.
• Keep bystanders away. Children and bystanders should be kept at a safe distance from the work area to avoid distracting the operator.
• To reduce the risk of injury, always wear eye protection.•
• Inspect the tripod chain vise and screws periodically and replace immediately if cracked, worn, or damaged. Do not attempt to fix or mend damaged tripod chain vise or fasteners.
• Fingers can be pinched between the legs and the underside of the tabletop. To reduce the risk of injury, keep fingers out of the areas where the legs will secure into place.•
• To prevent pipe from slipping, inspect jaws and replace when teeth are worn.• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.•
• Always use common sense and be cautious when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate every situation that could result in a dangerous outcome.
