SAFETY RULES
‡ ONLY trained and authorized personnel can operate and maintain the machine.
‡ Follow all safety rules, precautions and instructions when operating or performing maintenance
on the machine.
‡ Do not operate the machine if you are not feeling well, or if you are taking medicine which will
make you sleepy, or if you have been drinking. Operating in such a condition will adversely affect
your judgement and may lead to an accident.
‡ When working with another operator or a person on worksite traffic duty, be sure all personnel
understand all hand signals that are to be used.
SAFETY FEATURES
‡ Be sure all guards and covers are in their proper position. Have guards and covers repaired if
damaged.
Proper position ➞ See “12.1.1 WALK-AROUND CHECK”.
‡ Use safety features such as the safety lock lever and seat belts properly.
‡ NEVER remove any safety features. ALWAYS keep them in good operating condition.
Safety lock lever ➞ See “12.12 PARKING MACHINE”.

CLOTHING AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE ITEMS
‡ Avoid loose clothing, jewelry, and loose long hair. They can catch on controls or in moving parts
and cause serious injury or death. Also, do not wear oily clothes because they are flammable.
‡ Wear a hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, mask or gloves when operating or maintaining the
machine. Always wear safety goggles, hard hat and heavy gloves if your job involves scattering
metal chips or minute materials - this is so particularly when driving pins with a hammer and when
cleaning the air cleaner element with compressed air.
Check also that there is no one near the machine.
