Warning
1. Read and understand this entire manual before attempting assembly or operation.
2. Read and understand the warnings posted on the hoist and in this manual. Failure to comply with all
of these warnings may cause serious injury.
3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or removed.
4. Do not use this hoist for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, WMH Tool Group
disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless from any injury that may result from
that use.
5. Always wear approved safety glasses/face shields while using this hoist. Everyday eyeglasses only
have impact resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses.
6. Before operating this hoist, remove tie, rings, watches and other jewelry, and roll sleeves up past the
elbows. Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. Non-slip footwear or anti-skid floor strips are
recommended. Do not wear gloves.
7. This hoist is designed and intended for use by properly trained and experienced personnel only. If
you are not familiar with the proper and safe operation of a hoist, do not use until proper training and
knowledge have been obtained.
8. Do not use to lift people or loads over people.
9. Do not exceed the rated capacity of the hoist.
10. Do not use hoist chain as a sling. This may cause damage to the chain.
11. Always inspect the hoist for damage prior to use. If hoist is damaged, do not use until it has been
repaired or replaced.
12. Do not use more than one hoist to lift or move a load. If this is unavoidable, each hoist must have the
same capacity as the load to be moved.
13. Never allow chain to “set” over sharp edges. All pulls or lifts must be made with straight chain that is
free of obstacles.
14. If the hoist is difficult to operate, then the load exceeds the capacity of the hoist. Select a hoist of
larger capacity.
15. Do not use a hoist if the chain is twisted, kinked or damaged.
16. Do not operate hoist unless load is centered between top and bottom hooks.
17. Always take time to study the job to be performed and choose the safest method. Do not place
yourself or other people in an unsafe position.
18. Leave all internal maintenance and inspections to a qualified JET repair station.
19. Replace chain with factory replacement chain only. Do not use any other type of chain.
20. Never use the hoist if either hook is stretched, deformed, or has a broken or missing safety latch.
Always replace the safety latch and/or the hook before placing the hoist back in service.
21. Provide for adequate space surrounding work area and non-glare, overhead lighting.
22. Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, oil and grease.
23. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area. Keep children away.
24. Give your work undivided attention. Looking around, carrying on a conversation and “horse-play” are
careless acts that can result in serious injury.
25. Stand to one side of the load being lifted and make sure no one else is standing underneath when
lifting a load. Should a load slip, it will descend at a high rate of speed and can cause serious injuries
to anyone standing directly underneath.
