1. EYE INJURY HAZARD.
Failure to wear safety glasses with side shields can
result in severe eye injury or blindness. Always wear
safety glasses with side shields which conform to ANSI
Standard Z87.1.

2. STRAP BREAKAGE HAZARD.
Improper operation of the tool or sharp corners on the
load can result in strap breakage during tensioning,
which could result in the following:
P A sudden loss of balance causing you to fall.
P Both tool and strap flying violently towards
your face.
Failure to place the strap properly around the load or on
an unstable or shifted load could result in a sudden loss
of strap tension during tensioning. This could result in
a sudden loss of balance causing you to fall.
Read the tools operating instructions. If the load
corners are sharp use edge protectors. Place the strap
correctly around a properly positioned load.
Positioning yourself in-line with the strap, during
tensioning and sealing, can result in severe personal
injury from flying strap or tool. When tensioning or
sealing, position yourself to one side of the strap and
keep all bystanders away.
