ing part of your safety program.  Be certain that

EVERYONE

 using this equipment is familiar with

the recommended use and maintenance proce-

give operating instructions to operators or em-
ployees before allowing them to operate the
machine, and at least annually thereafter.

erator’s  responsibility  to  read  and  understand
