General Safety
Every year, many accidents occur which could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought
and a safer approach to handling research equipment.
Designers build in as many safety features as possible, such as safety shields for bearing and
other moving parts, but the designer cannot guarantee safety. Safety is up to the operator. These
general safety precautions and the safety decals on the machine are intended to help avoid
accidents and create a safe working environment.
- Be aware of pinch points when operating the grader
- Turn off the machine before making any repairs or adjustments
