DUST HAZARD PRECAUTIONS
Dust can be hazardous to your health if it is inhaled. Komatsu does not
use asbestos in its products, but if you handle materials containing
asbestos fibers or other dust materials during demolition operations,
always do as follows.
• Never use compressed air for cleaning.
• Use water to keep down the dust when cleaning.
• If there is a danger there may be asbestos dust in the air, operate the
machine with the wind to your back whenever possible.
• Use an approved respirator.
• Do not allow any other person into the area during operation.
• There may be a danger that non genuine parts may contain asbestos,
use only genuine Komatsu parts.
• Always observe rules and regulations related to the job site and
working environment.
CRUSH OR PINCH POINT DANGERS
Never stand under or place any part of your body between the movable
components such as the work equipment and cylinders or between the
machine and work equipment.
Keep in mind, when the work equipment is operated, the clearance will
change, this may lead to serious personal injury or death.
Never drive up to any one standing in front of a solid object or your path
of travel. The brakes could fail or the machine could slide on a slippery
surface causing injury or even death.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND FIRST AID KIT
As a precaution if a fire or an injury should occur, always keep a fire
extinguisher and first aid kit on your machine and do as follows:
• Be sure that fire extinguisher is in good condition and read the label
on it to ensure you know how to use it.
• Keep a first aid kit in the storage area. Check the kit periodically
and make any additions if necessary.
• Keep a list of emergency phone numbers in case of an accident.
