Safety Instructions (cont.)
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Wear standard equipment. (Spartan riveted gloves). Never grasp a rotating cable with a cloth or
loose fitting glove which would get wrapped around cable. Replace gloves if rivets or staples
start to pull out.
Wear rubber boots and wear rubber gloves inside your Spartan cable handling gloves to further
insulate yourself.
12. Use Safety Glasses. Guard against foreign material that might fly off cable.
13. Don’t Overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Keep Children Away. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
All visitors should be kept away from work area.
15. Use Recommended Equipment and Accessories.
Use of improper equipment may be hazardous.
Don’t force small cable with attachment to do the job of heavy-duty cable.
16. Don’t Force Tool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
17. Remove Punches and Wrenches. Form a habit of checking to see that punches and adjusting
wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
18. Keep Guards in Place. Never operate machine with guard removed.
19. Avoid Operating Machine in Reverse. Operating machine in reverse can result in cable damage
and is used only to back tool away from an obstruction.
Warning! Continued drum rotation in reverse position will cause cable to “jump” out of drum. Possible
operator injury could result.
20. Do Not Over Torque Cables. Excessive and/or continued rotation of the drum once an obstruction
has been encountered will over torque the cable. Kinking or breakage of cable may result. A
worn cable can be identified as being very limber, kinked or as having flattened coils on the
outside of cable. Worn cable should be replaced as soon as possible.
