GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY RULES

Only trained and authorized personnel can operate and maintain the machine.
Follow all safety rules, precautions and instructions in this manual when operating or performing maintenance on
the machine.
If you are not feeling well, or if you are under the influence of alcohol or medication, your ability to safely operate
or repair your machine may be severely impaired, putting yourself and everyone else on your job site in danger.
When working with another operator or with the person on the worksite traffic duty, discuss the content of the
operation beforehand and use the determined signals when carrying out the operation.

IF PROBLEMS ARE FOUND

If you find any problems in the machine during operation or maintenance (noise, vibration, smell, incorrect gauges,
smoke, oil leakage, etc., or any abnormal display on the warning devices or monitor), report to the person in charge
and have the necessary action taken. Do not operate the machine until the problem has been corrected.

WORKING WEAR AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE ITEMS

Do not wear loose clothing and accessories. There is a hazard that they may catch on control levers or other
protruding parts.
If you have long hair and it hangs out from your hard hat, there
is a hazard that it may get caught up in the machine, so tie your
hair up and be careful not to let it get caught.
Always wear a hard hat and safety shoes. If the nature of the
work requires it, wear safety glasses, mask, gloves, ear plugs,
and safety belt when operating or maintaining the machine.
Check that all protective equipment functions properly before
using it.

Be sure that fire extinguishers have been provided and read the
labels to ensure that you know how to use them in emergencies.
Carry out periodic inspection and maintenance to ensure that
the fire extinguisher can always be used.

checks and add to the contents if necessary.
