Moving parts –
CLIMAX machines have numerous exposed moving parts
and interfaces that can cause severe impact, pinching, cutting, and other
injuries. Except for stationary operating controls, avoid contact with mov-
ing parts by hands or tools during machine operation. Remove gloves and
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 eas-
ily cut skin. Wear protective gloves and exercise caution when handling a
cutting tool or workpiece.
Hot surfaces –
During operation, motors, pumps, HPUs, and cutting tools
can generate enough heat to cause severe burns. Pay attention to hot sur-
face labels, and avoid contact with bare skin until the machine has cooled.
