General Hazard
Information
Wear protective face shield, protective glasses, hearing
protection, a hard hat, and other protective equipment
as required by job conditions.
Always wear protective eyeglasses when using a
grinder or hammer.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can catch on
controls or other parts of the machine.
Make certain all protective guards and covers are
secured in place on the machine.
Keep the machine free of foreign material, such as
debris, oil, tools, and other items which are not part of
the machine.
Never put maintenance fluids into glass containers.
Complete all needed repairs before operation.
Do not allow unauthorized personnel to use the
machine.
Beware of the possibilities of unsafe practices of
others. Always consider what might have been ne-
glected by a previous operator so that his possible
oversight could not cause death or serious injury
during your use of the machine.
Pressure Air
Pressure air (i.e. from an air compressor) can cause
personal injury.
When using pressure air for cleaning, wear a protec-
tive face shield, protective clothing, and protective
shoes.
The maximum air pressure used for cleaning pur-
poses must be less than 30 psi (205 kPa).
Fluid Penetration
Never allow your hand or other part of the body get
near a pressurized fluid leak. Instead, use a board or
cardboard when checking for a leak. Escaping fluid
under pressure, especially an invisible pinhole sized
leak, can harmfully penetrate body tissue, or enter
mucus membranes, causing serious injury, and
possible death.
WARNING
The attention of a physician who is specially
trained to treat such an injury, must be
sought immediately if penetration into skin
or any mucus membrane occurs. Serious
infection or reaction will soon result if such
a physician is not immediately consulted.
Crushing, Cutting
Prevention
1. Support cutting boom and machine securely
when working beneath them. Do not depend on
hydraulic cylinders to hold cutting wheel up. It
can fall if a control is moved or if a hydraulic
line breaks.
2. Never attempt adjustments when the machine
is moving or the engine running unless other-
wise specified, and if so, only with extreme
caution.
3. Where there are boom linkages, the clearance
in the linkage area will increase or decrease
with movement of the boom. Even without the
engine running, therefore, a hand, for example
could become severely injured if it were in-
volved in the linkage when the cutting boom is
being swung from left to right. Stay clear of
linkages when movement is occurring.
