EQUIPMENT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
KNOW WHERE UTILITIES ARE
Observe overhead electrical and other utility lines. Be sure equipment will clear
them. When digging, call your local utilities for location of buried utility lines, gas,
water and sewer, as well as any other hazard you may encounter.
EXPOSURE TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST
ALONG WITH OTHER HAZARDOUS DUSTS MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS OR FATAL RESPIRATORY DISEASE.
This attachment is designed to plane (mill) rock, concrete and asphalt, causing high
levels of dust. It is recommended to use dust suppression, dust collection and if
necessary personal protective equipment during the operation of the planer or of any
attachment that may cause high levels of dust.
REMOVE PAINT BEFORE WELDING OR HEATING
Hazardous fumes/dust can be generated when paint is heated by welding, soldering
or using a torch. Do all work outside or in a well ventilated area and dispose of paint
and solvent properly. Remove paint before welding or heating.
When sanding or grinding paint, avoid breathing the dust. Wear an approved
respirator. If you use solvent or paint stripper, remove stripper with soap and water
before welding. Remove solvent or paint stripper containers and other flammable
material from area. Allow fumes to disperse at least 15 minutes before welding or
heating.

separating the different materials (rubber, steel, plastic, etc.). Follow all federal, state
and local regulations for recycling and disposal of the fluid and components.
