WARNING: TigerStop Products are components intended for use in conjunction with potentially dangerous machinery. The use

of TigerStop Products does not make other machinery safe. TigerStop Products are not intended to substitute, in any manner,

DEATH AND SHOULD ONLY BE OPERATED BY PERSONS TRAINED IN THEIR SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES. Illustrations

tool has all the necessary safety equipment in place. All installations must meet all legally required safety requirements and

guidelines. Installation and training should be done following the recommendations of a qualiﬁed safety engineer.
