responsible manner.
 Do not allow persons to operate or assemble the beam clamp until they have read this manual
and have developed a thorough understanding of how it works.
 Do not modify the beam clamp in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the beam clamp. There are specific applications for which
the beam clamp was designed.
 Use the right tool for the job. DO NOT attempt to force small equipment to do the work of larger
industrial equipment. There are certain applications for which this equipment was designed. It will

⚠WARNING
WORK AREA SAFETY
 Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work areas clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit.
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the beam clamp in confined work
areas may put you dangerously close to other cutting tools and rotating parts.
 Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the beam clamp. Do not
allow children to handle the beam clamp.
 Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in your
work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause personal injury
and/or property damage if contacted.
⚠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.
 Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety precaution
allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
