The manufacturer and supplier assume no liability for incorrect or non-intended use. Any change made to the
device that is not performed by the manufacturer is forbidden. Changes made by attachments or conversions are
only to be performed with the written consent of the manufacturer.
The device is built according to the state of the art and the recognised safety-technical rules. Nevertheless,
dangers to life and limb of the user or third parties or impairment of the device and other property may occur when
using the device.
Use the device only in a technically impeccable condition as well as in the intended manner, safety- and danger-
consciously. Use under observation of the operating instructions!
Specifically remove interferences that may impair safety (have them removed)!
The LISSMAC stone grippers belong to the device class of the hand-held gripping tools and serve solely to move
bricks in connection with a suitable and tested load holder. For hand-guided movement, the control is firmly
installed to the stone gripper and must only be operated by one operator. The maximum carrying capacity of the
stone gripper must not be exceeded.
Any other or exceeding use is deemed non-intended.
Intended use also includes observation of the operating instructions and compliance with the inspection and
maintenance instructions.
Foreseeable misapplication/non-intended use:
Lifting damaged and contaminated bricks
Lifting bricks with iced adhesive faces
Lifting bricks with worn carbide tips
1.2. Organisational Measures

that comply with the safety provisions.
Unnecessary staying in the movement and working range is prohibited! If required, lock the working area.
The operator must ensure during all movements that he does not endanger himself and other persons.
Staff to be trained, taught or instructed or in the scope of general training must only work at the device
consistently monitored by an experienced person!
1.4. Safety Notes on the Operating Phases
1.4.1. Transport, Assembly and Installation
The stone gripper must be disassembled during transport.
Check load handling for damage before installation of the stone gripper.

11/35
1.4.2. Operation
Do not perform any work that poses a concern for safety!
Take measures so that the stone gripper is only operated in a safe and functional condition!
At a wind strength in excess of wind level 7 (15 m/sec.) or approaching storm, the stone gripper must be set up at
once and secured against lighting strike.
Transporting different working material such as bricks and other tools is prohibited!
The maximum carrying capacity of the stone gripper must not be exceeded.
No persons must be present under suspended loads.
To protect from acceleration of the load, the load must be moved clear slowly.
1.4.3. Special Work in the Scope of Use of the Machine
Setting, warning and inspection work must be performed according to these operating instructions, including
information on the exchange of parts/partial equipment! This work must only be performed by authorised
specialists.
Before cleaning the stone gripper, the control must be disassembled.
Always tighten any screw connections loosened during service and repair work!
1.5. Transport
The stone gripper must be disassembled during transport before load handling.
Proceed only according to the operating instructions at recommissioning!
1.6. Packaging and Storage
The device was packed carefully to warrant sufficient protection during shipping. Check the device for damage upon
