GEARENCH LA116-C09 PETOL Bull Tong - Manual (Page 7)

Safety Goggles must always be worn by persons in any area where hand and powered tools
are being used.
Never apply excess leverage to a wrench or tool by means of a "Cheater Bar". Never strike
wrenches and tools with hammers or other objects.
All tools should be kept clean, inspected on a regular basis, and replaced when they show
signs of wear.
Be especially careful not to place yourself in a position that could result in bodily injury in
the event of a failure. Brace yourself firmly and pull rather than push when wrenching. (If
necessary to push, do so with the flat of the hand rather than gripping around the wrench.)
Never stand under or near loads being hoisted off the ground.
READ SAFE PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES MANUAL, CATALOG INFORMATION
AND PRODUCT LABELING PRIOR TO OPERATION.
