KEEP PERSONNEL CLEAR FROM
WORKING AREA
A person may be hit severely by the swinging front
attachment or counterweight and/or may be crushed
against an other object, resulting in serious injury or
death.
Keep all persons clear from the area of operation and
machine movement.
Before operating the machine, set up barriers to the
sides and rear area of the bucket swing radius to
prevent anyone from entering the work area.
NEVER MOVE THE BUCKET OVER ANY
ONE
Never lift, move, or swing bucket above anyone or a
truck cab.
Serious injury or machine damage may result due to
bucket load spill or due to collision with the bucket.
AVOID UNDERDIGGING
Never undercut or the footing might collapse.
Before starting to work, make sure of the excavator
control direction.
If the footing starts to collapse and if sufficient retreat
is not possible, do not panic.
Often, the machine can be secured by lowering the
front attachment.
