2.5 Equipment Safety Guidelines
Safety is one of the main concerns in designing and developing
equipment. However, every year many accidents occur which
could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a
more careful approach to handling equipment.
Obey the following precautions to avoid hazards. Make sure that
anyone who works with you obeys them as well.
•
Replace safety or instruction labels that are not readable
or are missing. For locations and explanations, see
•
Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unapproved
modification can result in serious injury or death. In
addition, unapproved modification can cause incorrect
operation and decrease the life of the machine. Unapproved
modification voids the warranty.
•
Make sure that the machine is correctly stationed, adjusted,
and in working condition.
•
Keep the machine free of accumulated grease and debris to
prevent fires and machine damage.
•
Make sure that the discharged wood chips do not interfere
with the safe operation of the machine.
•
Look for and avoid overhead hazards (for example;
branches, cables, and electrical wires).
•
Do not exceed the limitations of the machine. If the machine
does not operate normally or you feel unsafe, stop the
machine!

•
The owner has the responsibility to provide instruction to
anyone who is going to operate the machine. This machine
is dangerous to anyone who is unfamiliar with its operation.

responsibility to make sure that, before anyone uses the
