Health and Safety at Work
All equipment must be maintained and tested to meet relevant statutory regulations. It is the responsibility of every company
to ensure that their employees have been fully and properly trained in the safe operation of their equipment.
Equipment Labelling
The identification stamping details the product type, model, manufacturer, year of manufacture, maximum and minimum
working load limit (WLL), serial number and the jaw range. The CE marking indicates compliance with the essential health and
safety requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Other international standards that the unit conforms to may be
shown.
Safety Instructions
Always store and handle clamps correctly.
Always inspect clamps before use and before placing into storage.
Always remove dirt, rust, paint, grease, oil and any other foreign matter from the surface of the steel plate before clamping.
Never use defective clamps.
Never return damaged clamps to storage.
Never lift a plate that is not fully engaged with the clamping jaws.
Never lift loads that are not balanced, and the holding action is not secure.
Never lift more than one plate at a time.
Never leave load supported by the clamp unattended unless specific precautions have been taken.
Never expose clamps to chemicals, particularly acids, without consulting the supplier.
Never use the clamp in areas containing flammable vapours, liquids, gasses or combustible dust or fibres.
Never expose a clamp directly to the elements, water spray, steam etc without consulting the supplier.
Never use clamps which are unidentified or uncertified for lifting applications.
Never throw or drop clamps.
Never allow a load attached to the clamp to swing or spin unintentionally.
Never work under suspended loads.
2. Function/Operation
The Tiger CPU Clamp can be used for lifting and transporting steel plates and structures from all positions (horizontal, vertical
and sidelong). As well as transporting plate, this clamp is well-suited to turning over steel structures and welded
constructions. It has an articulated lifting shackle and is equipped with a pre-tension mechanism ensuring the clamp does
not slip when lifting force is applied and when a load is being lowered. The clamp is locked in closed as well as in open
position. The minimum WLL is 10% of the maximum WLL.
For generating enough force with the given set of levers, the load must weigh a minimum of 10% of the nominal carrying
capacity of the clamp. This means that the minimum load that should be lifted with a 1 tonne lifting clamp is 100kg.
Determine the weight of the plate being lifted and make sure that it does not exceed the rated load of the clamp. The plate
thickness must be within the grip range of the clamp.
Turn the function lever clockwise to disengage the jaws. Then put the plate to the end of the mouth of clamp. Move the
function lever counter- clockwise to grip and lock the plate. Only start to move the load when you are sure the load will not
overturn and that it is safe to do so. After the load has been lifted a short distance make sure it is well balanced before
continuing. Lift slowly and smoothly at all times. To loosen load, move the function lever clockwise to disengage the jaws.

Instruction Guide Tiger CPU En 201901 v1.0
If guiding a load by hand, place the palm of a gloved hand on top of the load, never grip the load with fingers on the side or the
underside.
This clamp with pivoting shackle can be used for lifting and transporting plate at various angles, but the load capacity is
reduced, as seen on the diagram below showing the load/force capacities.
The pivoting shackle has the added advantage of providing enough clamping force to hold a plate safely, even when
transporting large-sized plates with a 2-legged lifting system. Slipping or damage to the clamp is prevented.
Pay attention to the correlation between the lifting angle and the rated load. Use within specified angles. When using two
clamps to transport large-sized plates, pay attention to the reduced capacities of the clamps.
Make sure that the plate surface has hardness of up to 300 Brinell (HB) / 32 Rockwell C (HRC).
3. Inspection
According to national and international accident prevention and safety regulations, lifting equipment must be inspected:
•in accordance with the risk assessment of the operating company
•prior to initial operation
•before the unit is put into service for any subsequent use
•after substantial changes
•however, at least once every 6 months, by a competent person.
The intervals of inspection must be determined by the individual application and are based upon the type of service to which
the clamp will be subjected. In the event of any defects refer the clamp to a Competent Person for thorough examination.
Examinations should include the following:
•Examine clamp for wear and distortion.
•Examine the clamping jaw, jaw teeth and pad for damage.
•Examine the function levers ability to engage and disengage the jaws.
•Examine for loose or missing fasteners, stops or nameplates.
•Examine for corrosion.
•Examine for illegible labels and markings.

clamp. Lubricate any moving parts. Correctly secure all fastenings.
5. Transport, Storage, Decommissioning and Disposal
Transporting the unit:
•Do not drop or throw the unit, always deposit it carefully.
•Use suitable transport means. These depend on the local conditions.
Storing or temporarily taking the unit out of service:
To ensure the continuing integrity of the unit you should store the unit in conditions that do not lead to damage or
deterioration. Therefore:
•Inspect clamps and accessories before placing into storage.
•Never return damaged clamps to storage.
•The unit should be secured against unauthorised and unwarranted use.
•Store the unit in a clean and dry place.
•Wipe off all dirt and water.
•A light oil film should be applied to moving parts.
•Protect the unit including all accessories against contamination, humidity and damage by means of a suitable cover.
•Protect against corrosion.
•If the unit is to be used again after it has been taken out of service, it must first be inspected again by a competent
person.
Disposal
When the product comes to the end of its lifecycle, after taking the unit out of service, recycle or dispose of the parts of the
unit respecting local and national environmental regulations.
