sign of visible damage the appliance must not be put
into operation.
 If the feeder cable of the appliance is damaged it
needs to be replaced by the producer or an
electrician.
 Repairs of the appliance can only be executed by an
electrician. There might be significant risks as a

Important safety instructions
 The cable winch must be checked before starting work if
all components are working perfectly. In particular, check
the perfect state of the snap hooks preventing any
unintentional release of the lifting hook from slings
(ropes, rings, transportation eyes, etc.).
 The cable reel can only be used for lifting of burdens
whose weight does not exceed the maximum load
capacity specified by the producer in technical data
and on the type label of the cable reel.
 Burdens fixed in conflict with regulations that could fall
down must not be lifted.
 Attach the load correctly.

Lifted loads may only be lifted in a vertical position!
Never pull and lift in an inclined position!
 No persons – except for the operator – may stay under
the load or in the dangerous area. Keep the minimum
distance of 10 m from the lifted load.
 All lifting work is only allowed when appropriate fixing
elements (cables, rings, transport loops, etc.) are used
and when in accordance with appropriate provisions
and standards valid in the workplace.
 The reel metal cable must not be used for burden
fixing.
 Putting the cable reel into operation is only allowed
with a perfectly balanced cable.
 The cable reel cannot be left unattended with burdens
lifted up.
 The load capacity of bearing structures must be
checked before you start working with the cable reel.
 Check the cables for any wear-out before you start
working with the cable reel; if there are any signs of
wear-out the cables need to be replaced with new ones
whose characteristics must correspond to the
maximum allowed load capacity of the cable reel.
Cables only need to be replaced with original spare
cables.
 If you face any problems with working of the cable reel
please contact your authorised dealer and refrain from
any improvisation work.
 The cable reel engine drive is not fitted with an engine
protection circuit-breaker. The engine therefore cannot
be overloaded when there are any problems with
lifting; in such a case check whether the lifted burden
does not exceed the allowed load capacity of the cable
reel and whether the system voltage has not dropped.
 To be able to intervene in time in case of any imminent
danger, the operating staff must operate the cable reel
from a suitable place to control the entire workplace.
 Make sure the cable always reels up smoothly
on the drum. pic. 5
 Make sure the cable reel cable is always twined
around the drum at least thrice when working.
 The cable reel must not be changed anyhow; use only
devices supplied with the cable reel for lifting.
 Use the lifting devices supplied with the cable reel only
in a manner described in these Operating Instructions.
Do not use these devices for any other appliance or
purpose.
 Do not use an adhesive tape or any other tools for
connecting the feeder cable to the extension cable.
 Make sure the electric characteristics of the network for
cable reel connection correspond to the values
specified on the engine type label.
 When an extension cable is used, make sure that the
cable with the plug and socket correspond to the cable
reel input.
 The steel cable needs to be checked for any
damage each time you put it into operation. It is
strictly prohibited to use the cable reel when the
cable is damaged (pic. 3)
 Lifting of persons inadmissible.
 Disorder in the workplace can cause accidents.
 Protect against electric shock. Prevent your body from
coming into contact with earthed parts.
 Check whether your appliance is not damaged.
Carefully inspect safety devices if not faulty or working
improperly before further use of the appliance. Check
whether functions of movable parts are all right,
whether not clogged or damaged. All parts must be
installed correctly so that all appliance conditions were
guaranteed. Any damaged protective device and part
must be professionally repaired or replaced in a
customer service centre unless provided otherwise in
the Operating Instructions. Damaged switches must be
replaced in a customer service centre. Do not use
devices whose switches cannot be on or off.
The cable reel electric motor is protected with

a thermal fuse. When the thermal fuse responses,
the cable reel stops. The cable reel can be used
again only after cooled down (app. 5 minutes).
Caution: The cable winch is not suitable for

industrial or continuous operation and it may get
switched off after several operating cycles. When
used for industrial purposes, the appliance must be
checked by an expert before being put into
operation for the first time in accordance with the
applicable operating safety regulations.
 Have any damaged part immediately replaced.
 Never take part in any repair (guarantee expiry and risk
taking).
 Do not unnecessarily expose the cable reel to climatic
