2.2 Precaution during operation
WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions
Do not go close to high-voltage cables
Do not travel or operate the machine near electric cables. There
is a hazard of electric shock, which may cause serious injury or
property damage. On jobsites where the machine may go close
to electric cables, always do as follows.
Even going close to high-voltage cables can cause electric
shock, which may cause serious burns or even death.
Always maintain a safe distance (see the table on the right)
between the machine and the electric cable. Check with the
local power company about safe operating procedure before
starting operations.
To prepare for any possible emergencies, wear rubber
shoes and gloves. Lay a rubber sheet on top of the seat, and
be careful not to touch the chassis with any exposed part of
your body.
Use a signalman to give warning if the machine approaches
too close to the electric cables.
When carrying out operations near high voltage cables, do
not let anyone near the machine.
If the machine should come too close or touch the electric
cable, to prevent electric shock, the operator should not
leave the operator's compartment until it has been confirmed
that the electricity has been shut off.
Also, do not let anyone near the machine.
Do not hit work equipment
When working in places where there are height limits, such as in
tunnels, under bridges, under electric cables, or in garages, be
extremely careful not to hit the boom or arm.
Ensure good visibility
When working in dark places, install working lamps, and set
up lighting in the work area if necessary.
Stop operations if the visibility is poor, such as in mist, snow,
or rain, and wait for the weather to improve to a condition
that allows the operation to be carried out safely.
