1 BASIC PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
The user must determine whether dangerous phenomena may occur in an application,
for example, the release of toxic gases, or whether the ground conditions require specific
precautions. The user establish the measures to be taken to eliminate or reduce the risks.
1.1 Comply with your workplace's safety rules
• This machine must only be used and maintained by qualified personnel.
• When using or maintaining the machine, comply with all safety rules, precautions and pro-
cedures at all times.
• Any task performed in teams or with a flagman should be performed based on regulatory
signals.
DANGER
The machines are not designed to work in explosive or polluted environments.
The machine configuration cannot guarantee the safety of the operator in a harmful en-
vironment. The machine must therefore not be used in such environments.
1.2 Put the safety mechanisms in place
• Make sure that all covers and all housings are properly installed in their respective posi-
tions. If any of them are damaged, repair them immediately.
• The use of safety mechanisms, such as locking lever(s) must be mastered and understood
by the machine's operator.
5.3.1 Locking lever, page 27
• Never remove the safety mechanisms. Check that they are operating correctly at all times.
If the safety mechanisms are operating incorrectly this may cause serious physical injury.
1.3 Wear suitable clothing and protective equipment
• Never wear bulky clothing or jewellery that may be
caught in the control levers or a part of the machine.
Also avoid wearing soiled work clothes, which can be
risky when using the machine.
• Wear a helmet, protective goggles, safety shoes, a
mask, gloves and any other protective equipment ne-
cessary to suit the working conditions.
