> Do not work with loads that are heavier than the design of the device allows.
> Only use the tube lier to li loads that are packaged so that they cannot come apart when
lied.
> Do not place the vacuum cup on surfaces with loose areas, such as address labels or covers
that could come loose.
> Do not place the vacuum cup on surfaces that are so slippery that the load could slide o the
vacuum cup (slip eect).
> Take parcular care when handling objects with sharp edges, such as sheet metal.
