Safety is paramount when operating cable pulling machines. Always follow these precautions:

• Pre-Inspection: Before each use, inspect the machine, pulling rope, and all accessories for any signs of wear or damage. Never use a worn-out or compromised rope.

• Secure Anchoring: Ensure the machine is properly and securely anchored to a support system that can withstand the maximum pulling force with a sufficient safety factor (e.g., 3:1).

• Load Rating: Never exceed the specified load rating of the machine, rope, or other accessories.

• Proper Usage: Keep all body parts, loose clothing, and hair away from moving parts. Ensure that only the pulling rope contacts the capstan, and never allow the rope to overlap.

• Maintenance: Regularly service and maintain the machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always disconnect the power source before performing any maintenance.
