IMPORTANT: Tools used outdoors may require more regular cleaning and surface treatment to prevent corrosion, as well as replacement grease or oil on moving parts to maintain them in good working condition. a) Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use.

Chain Block 282517 Intended Use Portable, hand-operated manual chain hoist, for vertical lifting of loads. This device is designed for temporary operation only, and should not be used for permanent suspension of loads. Domestic use only. Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and functions• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool Before Use Installing the chain block WARNING: Ensure the chain block is suspended from a structure capable of supporting a load of at least 1½ x the safe working load of the block. • Install the chain block, so the bottom of the hand chain sits between 500 and 100mm from the ground• The user must be able to operate the hand chain safely, from a location to the side of the suspended load Attaching the load WARNING: DO NOT use the chain as a sling. This may cause damage to the chain.• Attach load to Load Hook (4), using slings, chains or other lifting devices, suitable for the type, shape and weight of the load (see Fig.I)• Centre the load on the Load Hook correctly (see Fig.II) WARNING:• NEVER load the Load Hook in front of the Safety Bar (see Fig. III-A)• NEVER load the Load Hook tip (See Fig. III-B)• NEVER load the Load Hook off the centre line (See. Fig. III-C)• NEVER load the Load Hook sideways (See Fig. III-D) WARNING: ALWAYS ensure that the Mounting Hook (1) is fully engaged, with its Safety Bar (5) securely closed. Lifting Tool Safety Inspect the equipment
• Before use, check the condition of the equipment, paying particular attention to cables, locking mechanisms, and hydraulic fittings. Cables should be free from kinks and should not show any evidence of fraying or cutting. Locking mechanisms should work freely and should be clean of excessive dirt or grease. Hydraulic fittings should be in good condition and free from leaks• Any additional supports should be capable of taking the full weight of the object to be lifted, along with some additional capacity as a precautionary measure• All safety devices (including automatic) should be tested before use• Check that the hooks are sound. If a hook has more than a 10° twist out of true, or has an excessive throat opening, it should be replaced • Check all hook safety latches are not damaged or bent and completely seal the hook openings• If any part of the lifting equipment is found to be damaged or worn, it must be repaired with genuine replacement parts at an authorised service centre before the equipment is used• Lifting equipment should be inspected by a qualified person at least once each year and the results of the inspection recorded in an inspection book for future reference• The brake on a lifting tool should never come into contact with oil or grease• DO NOT modify any lifting equipment. Any attempt to tamper with this equipment will invalidate its guarantee and could result in serious injury to yourself or others around you Locating the lifting tool
• Locate the lifting tool in a suitable, well-lit work area• Keep work area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials• Never use a lifting tool in wet, explosive or corrosive environments Attaching a load
• Any load must only be attached/supported by the proper lifting points• Winches/jacks should not be used in conjunction with any other lifting device/s• The load must be free to lift. If the load is caught, or restricted during lifting, overloading of the lifting equipment will result• Before attaching a load, ensure that it is stable, and will remain stable throughout the lifting process• Never wrap the chain around a load, or use the load chain as a sling Danger area
• When an object is being lifted, the areas directly below and around the area should be considered highly dangerous. DO NOT reach into, or enter this area• Lifting equipment must be operated from a position where the operator is not at risk from a falling load (i.e. outside of the danger area)• Protective headgear (e.g. hardhat) and protective footwear, should be worn by the operator, and any person near to the danger area• Never use a lifting tool or any other overhead lifting equipment for lifting persons During a lift
• The operator should have constant eye contact with the load. If it is impractical for the operator to have constant eye contact, then the danger area should be sealed off, and additional persons with full view of the operating area must be used to relay instructions to the operator• Lifting equipment must only be operated by persons who are clearly familiar with the operating instructions• DO NOT change from lifting to lowering rapidly. Allow the load to come to a complete stop before changing direction• If the lifting equipment is unable to raise a load, stop immediately. The lift load capacity has been exceeded• When lowering a load, make allowance for the fact that a load will usually run on for a few centimetres after the mechanism has been stopped• Lifting equipment must never be used for any purpose other than vertical lifts• DO NOT lift an object to a greater height than is absolutely necessary• Never leave a suspended load unattended• If you are in any way unsure about the safe method of using this equipment, DO NOT use it 1 Mounting Hook 2 Block 3 Hand Chain 4 Load Hook 5 Safety Bar 6 Load Chain Product Familiarisation 282517_Z1MANPRO1.indd 5 04/08/2015 14:586

Lifting WARNING: ALWAYS evacuate bystanders from the immediate lifting area. Clearly communicate when lifting commences and finishes. NEVER allow anybody to stand under a suspended load. WARNING: Raise and lower in a smooth, controlled manner. DO NOT shock load the chain block by allowing the attached load to fall freely, even for very short distances. Ensure the chain moves freely and does not twist.WARNING: The brake may become hot during prolonged use of the chain block. Stop using the tool intermittently to ensure the brake does not overheat.1. Smoothly pull the Hand Chain (3) until the Load Chain (6) is taut. Confirm that it is vertical (i.e. not pulling at an angle).

2. Start to raise load. Check that it is level with no possibility of the load tilting and/

or slipping from its restraints3. If necessary, lower the load and readjust slings to obtain a safe, level lift4. Stop lifting at approximately 100mm to check that the brake will hold the load5. Continue to raise load to required height in a slow and controlled manner. DO NOT raise the load so far that the Load Hook (4) comes into contact with the Block (2)6. To lower the load, pull down on the opposite side of the Hand Chain. Again, lower smoothly and slowly and DO NOT lower so far as to completely extend the full length of the Load Chain Accessories
