• Industrial or commercial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
⚠WARNING
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit.
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the linear actuator in confined work
areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
• Do not use the linear actuator where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The linear actuator can create sparks, which may
ignite the flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow
children to handle the linear actuator.
⚠WARNING
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use
the tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
• Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant safety
goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask in
dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems,
and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
⚠CAUTION
LINEAR ACTUATOR USE AND CARE
• Do not force the linear actuator. Linear actuators are safer and do a better job when used in the
manner for which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct linear actuator for the
job.
• Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the linear actuator will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never
operate the linear actuator with a damaged part.
• Do not use a linear actuator with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative
before using.
• Disconnect the power/air supply from the linear actuator and place the switch in the locked or off
