🛠️ How to Use:

To ensure safe and efficient operation, follow these simple steps when using the copper chain block:

1. First, securely attach the chain block to a firm, load-bearing structure using an approved suspension point.
2. Next, carefully check that the load is evenly distributed to prevent swinging or imbalance during lifting.
3. Then, smoothly operate the manual chain control to lift or lower the load to the desired height.
4. Before every use, thoroughly inspect the unit for any signs of wear, corrosion, or mechanical issues.
5. Finally, take advantage of its user-friendly design, which allows operators to perform lifts safely—even with minimal training—making it ideal for both planned and emergency operations.

⚠️ Precautions:

To maximize safety and extend the lifespan of your Explosion-Proof Chain Block, follow these important precautions:

1. Before each operation, always inspect the unit thoroughly for any signs of damage, rust, or deformation.
2. To begin with, never exceed the rated load capacity—overloading the hoist directly compromises safety and increases the risk of damaging the equipment.
3. In addition, only use the hoist in certified ATEX and IECEx zones. This crucial precaution significantly reduces the chance of explosions in hazardous environments.
4. After the operation is complete, always store the chain block properly in a clean, dry area—ideally away from moisture and corrosive substances to extend its lifespan.
5. Finally, always ensure that operators are well-trained in safe lifting practices and emergency procedures before allowing them to use the equipment.
