SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and follow operation instructions carefully.
Failure to follow these warning can result in severe personal injury.
eye injury hazard
When handling RSA-590 and stainless-steel strap, always wear protective glasses.
Failure to wear safety glasses with side shields can result in severe eye injury or blindness.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields that conform to ANSI Standard Z87.1.1
protective gloves
When handling RSA-590 and stainless-steel strap, always wear protective gloves.
strap warnings
Never use strap as a means of pulling or lifting loads.
Follow operation instructions (pg. 5) to properly apply using the RSA-590.
strap breakage hazard
Sudden loss of strap tension or strap breakage can occur due to improper operation of the
RSA-590, excessive tensioning, using non-recommended strapping or sharp corners on a load.
This can further lead to a sudden loss of balance causing one to fall or the tool and strap flying
violently.
Preventatives:
• Use edge protectors if load corners are sharp
• Use recommended strap quality, width, gauge, and tensile strength (page 2)
• Place strap correctly around a properly positioned load
• Load strap correctly into the RSA-590 tool
• When tensioning, position yourself to one side of the strap and keep all bystanders away
