PERSONAL SAFETY
CAUTION! Wear protective equipment approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) when using the tool.
1. Dress properly, wear protective equipment. Use breathing, ear, eye, face, foot, hand and head
protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles, which must provide both
frontal and side protection. Protect your hands with suitable gloves. Wear a full face shield
if your work creates metal filings or wood chips. Protect your head from falling objects by
wearing a hard hat. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when working around
metal, wood and chemical dusts and mists. Wear ANSI approved earplugs. Protective,
electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working.
Wear steel-toed boots to prevent injury from falling objects.
2. Control the tool, personal movement and the work environment to avoid personal injury or
damage to the tool. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense.
a. Keep articles of clothing, jewelry, hair, etc., away from moving parts to avoid
entanglement with a tool.
b. Do not operate any machine / tool when tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medications.
c. Do not overreach when operating a tool. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of a tool in unexpected situations.
d. Use clamps or other practical ways to support or secure the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is not stable and may
lead to loss of control and injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Always place the tool on a solid, flat, level surface or workbench capable of supporting the
weight of the tool, all other additional accessories and the work piece.
CAUTION! The tool should always be bolted down to the workbench when used
on a workbench.
2. Make sure there is enough clearance around the tool for the movement of the work piece as
the work piece is bent into position.
3. Keep fingers clear of the supporting plate and the moving plate to avoid personal injury.
4. Inspect the tool before each use. DO NOT use if bent, broken, cracked or otherwise damaged,
any suspect parts are noticed.

TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the
work of a larger industrial tool. The tool will perform better and more safely at the task for
which it was intended.
2. This tool was designed for a specific function.
Do Not:
a. Modify or alter the tool; all parts and accessories are designed with built-it safety
features that may be compromised if altered.
b. Use the tool in a way for which it was not designed.
3. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and in good condition for a better and safer
performance. The handles must be kept clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times.
A properly maintained tool reduces the risk of binding and is easier to control. Applying
excessive force can lead to slips and damage to your work piece or personal injury.
4. When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to
avoid rust.
5. Maintain the label and nameplate on the tool. These carry important information. If
unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto for a replacement.
UNPACKING
1. Carefully remove the tool from the package.
a. Retain packing material until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily installed or
operated the tool.
2. Make sure that all items in the parts list are included.
3. Inspect the parts carefully to make sure the tool was not damaged while shipping.
WARNING! If any part is missing, do not operate the tool until the missing parts are replaced.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

MAINTENANCE
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for broken, cracked, or bent
parts, loose or missing parts, and any condition that may affect the proper operation of the
tool. If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
2. Clean with a clean cloth using a detergent or mild solvent and wipe dry.
WARNING! NEVER use penetrating oils to clean or lubricate your tool. Penetrating oils are a solvent
that will break down the internal grease and can cause the tool to seize up.
STORAGE
Lubricate before storing. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period
of time (overnight, weekend, etc.,) it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time to
prevent rust.
DISPOSING OF THE TOOL
If your tool has become damaged beyond repair, do not throw it out. Bring it to the appropriate
recycling facility.
