3. Safety
Before you use the sheet metal lifting clamp, carefully read the following safety instructions.
Chapters 3.1 to 3.3 list basic behavior rules that you must observe when handling the sheet metal
lifting clamp. You must absolutely follow the instructions that are marked with a symbol to
prevent danger to people. Warnings that belong to the individual instructions are always listed
before the step in question.
3.1 Basic safety instructions
The sheet metal lifting clamp has been constructed, tested, and left the company in a perfectly safe
condition. In order to maintain this state, you must follow the instructions in these operating
instructions.
-Read these operating instructions in their entirety;
-Heed the warnings and safety instructions;
-Make sure that these operating instructions are always available where the sheet metal lifting
clamp will be used;
-Make sure that only qualified staff performs work with and on the sheet metal lifting clamp (see
Tab. 1);
-During use, comply with the locally-applicable requirements for occupational safety and the work
instructions of the operator;
-Consider the circumstances on-site;
-Observe the specified minimum load (see Technical data in Chapter 4);
-Observe the permissible angle of inclination (see Technical data in Chapter 4);
-Observe the maximum carrying capacity;
-Consider the additional tare weight of the sheet metal lifting clamp:
-Tare weight sheet metal lifting clamp + load weight = total weight Consider the weight of all
components with regard to the maximum load capacity!
-Observe the permissible gripping range (see Technical data in Chapter 4);
-Use the sheet metal lifting clamp only in connection with swivels on the crane hook;
-Damage that compromises safety must be repaired by an expert company;
-Perform all work with great care;
-Wear your personal protective equipment;
-Never open a sheet metal lifting clamp when it is under load;
-Only use the sheet metal lifting clamp if the typeplate is clearly legible;

-When using the sheet metal lifting clamp in combination with a sling, heed the operating
instructions for the sling;
-Use only suitable slings, take special care that the load capacity of the sling fulfills the
requirements;
-Make sure that your load chain is not twisted; use only slings with swivels;
-Consider the additional tare weight of the sling:
-Tare weight sheet metal lifting clamp + tare weight sling + load weight = total weight Consider
the total weight of all components with regard to the maximum load capacity!

3.2 Proper use
The following points comprise proper use:
-Vertical lifting, lowering, andturning (90°) ofnon-guided loads;
-Steel plates, steel structures, andstandard profiles of steel are approved for use;
-Observe the permissible load capacity: Tare weight of the individual components + load weight;
-Temperature range from -20 °C to+80 °C;
-Per lifting procedure, only one component may be moved;
-Use and storage only indoors;
-Even andsymmetrical load distribution during vertical lifting andlowering ofthe load;
-Angle of inclination (clamping front andclamping side level) upto90° in pulling direction;
-Minimum load depending on the sheet metal lifting clamp type (see table, Chapter 4);
-Designed for a maximum of 16,000 load changes, depending on external conditions, the number
of load change may decrease.
In addition to the points listed here, additional details must be taken from the technical data and
observed (Chapter 4).
3.3 Improper use
The following points comprise improper use:
-Exceeding the maximum load capacity;
-More than one component per lifting or turning process;
-The maximum permissible surface hardness of 32 HRC of the load is exceeded (see Chapter 4);
-Use when the chain is twisted;
-Conveying people and animals;
-Conveying pipes and components with diameters;
-Transporting fluids and hazardous materials;
-Asymmetrical loading;
-Tearing away stuck loads, diagonal pulling, and pulling of loads on the floor;
-Changes to the construction;
-In environments that are subject to explosion, or where there is exposure to salt, acid, toxic,
and/or alkaline substances;
-Diagonal pulling and sliding of loads on the floor/storage system, exception: the turning
procedure, see Chapter 7.6;
-Use and storage outdoors.
Chapter 3.3 does not guarantee completeness. Anything that is not expressly permitted falls under
improper use.
