Safety Instructions - Terrier TS Gebrauchsanleitung

The following notes apply to the Hardox clamp models
- These clamp models feature a specially developed ''hard'' segment and ''hard'' pivot so
that these lifting clamps can be used for lifting steel and/or structures with a maximum-
hardness of 50 HrC, (485 HB, 1450 N/mm
- The 1 TSHP and 1,5 TSHP have three pivots for a solid grip and is therefore highly suita-
ble for lifting "Holland Profiel" (flat bulb bar steel).
The following only applies to the TS-R/TSE-R/TSU-R/TSEU-R clamp models
The TS-R/TSE-R/TSU-R/TSEU-R clamp has been designed solely for lifting stainless steel
plates and structures featuring a flat point of contact. Where the clamp is used to lift car-
bon steel plates, the clamp can no longer be used for lifting stainless steel plates, without
the risk of carbon contamination.
Allowable operating positions
Depending of the clamp model the following operating positions are allowed:
- only vertical positions (TS, TS-R, TSE, TSE-R)
- from both vertical and horizontal positions (TSU and MP models)
- from all positions (TSU, TSEU, STSU,TSU-R, TSEU-R)
Notice: A reduced working load limit (W.L.L.) applies when lifting from other than vertical
positions. See also the load diagram on page 36.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety First! Guarantee your personal safety by carefully reading the following safety in-
structions first.
Ensure your own safety and continue to benefit from our product safety by having the
clamp inspected, tested and, if necessary, overhauled at least once a year by Terrier Lifting
Clamps B.V. or another recognized mechanical repair and service center. See also Chapter 8
- Overhauling. Contact Terrier Lifting Clamps B.V. for further information.
TEMPERATURE
The operating temperature of the Terrier lifting clamps lies between -40 °C(-40 °F) en 100 °C.
(212 °F). Please consult with your dealer if other ambient temperatures are applied.
AVOID SITUATIONS DANGEROUS TO LIFE
(see also the section 'How to correctly use vertical lifting clamps' on page 37)
- Never work with an untested or disapproved lifting clamp.
- Always keep a safe distance when lifting and never stand under the load.
- Do not use the clamp if damaged; have the clamp repaired by Terrier Lifting Clamps B.V.
or another recognized mechanical repair and service center. If in doubt consult your sup-
plier.
- Never lift more than one plate at a time.
- Never lift plates heavier than the w.w.l., as indicated on the clamp and the test certificate.
- Never lift plates which have a weight less than 10 % the W.L.L. indicated on the clamp
and test certificate.
- Do not lift plates which are thicker or thinner than the jaw opening, as indicated on the
clamp and the test certificate.
- Take care when lifting from a non-vertical position. The working load limit (W.L.L.) may
be considerably reduced in these lifting situations.
