•
Only trained and authorized personnel can use the machine and perform maintenance operations.
•
Follow all the safety rules, precautions and instructions when using the machine or performing maintenance op-
erations.
•
When working with other operators or when the work site is often occupied by other operators, make sure that
everyone knows and understands all the signals described above and, in any case, that everyone works in
such a way as to be able to see the machine and to be visible to the operator.
•
Make sure that all the guards and covers are in the correct position. Have guards and covers changed or re-
paired if damaged. Neither use the machine without guards, nor remove the guards when the engine is run-
ning.
•
Always use the proper safety devices to lock the machine when parking and fasten the safety belt.
•
For the safety devices, see “3.1 SAFETY LOCKS”.
•
For the safety belt, see “3.5.7 SAFETY BELT”.
•
Do not remove the safety devices and always keep them in good operating conditions.
•
Any improper use of the safety devices may result in serious injuries or even death.

•
Do not wear large or loose clothes, rings and watches and do
not approach the machine with loose long hair, since they can
get entagled in the moving parts of the machine and cause se-
rious injuries or damage.
Avoid also wearing clothes dirty with oil or fuel, since they are
flammable.
•
Wear a hard hat, goggles, safety shoes, mask, gloves and
headphones when operating the machine or performing main-
tenance operations.
•
Always wear safety goggles, a hard hat and heavy gloves if
your job involves scattering metal chips or minute materials;
these precautions are particularly useful when driving the
equipment connection pins with a hammer and when blowing
compressed air into the air filter and the radiator to clean them.
During these operations, make also sure that no one is stand-
ing or working near the machine without the necessary protec-
tions.
•
When working for 8 hours with a noise level exceeding 90
dBA, it is necessary to use headphones or ear plugs and be
particularly careful, especially at the end of the work shift.
