Moving Parts
–
CLIMAX machines have numerous exposed moving parts and
interfaces that can cause severe impact, pinching, cutting, and other injuries. Except
for operating controls, avoid contact with moving parts by hands or tools during
machine operation. Secure hair, clothing, jewelry, and pocket items to prevent them
from becoming entangled in moving parts.
Sharp Edges
–
Cutting tools and workpieces have sharp edges that can easily cut
skin. Wear protective gloves and exercise caution when handling a cutting tool or
workpiece.
Hot Surfaces
–
During operation, motors, some housings, and cutting tools can
generate enough heat to cause severe burns. Pay attention to hot surface labels, and
avoid contact with bare skin until the machine has cooled.
