2.4 PREPARATION
1. Never use the engine and machine until the
operators have been adequately trained in the
safe operation of the machine and have read
and completely understand:
• Safety, Operation and Feature sections of
this manual,
• Engine Operator's Manual
• Each of the Safety Messages found on the
safety signs on the engine and machine.
2. Personal protection equipment including:
• hard hat,
• safety glasses,
• safety shoes,
• gloves,
• hearing protection
• safety vest
are recommended during assembly, instal-
lation, operation, adjustment, maintaining,
repairing, removal, cleaning, or moving the
chipper. Do not allow long hair, loose fitting
clothing or jewellery to be around equipment.
3. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE
MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING
LOSS!
Power equipment with or
without equipment attached
can often be noisy enough
to cause permanent, partial
hearing loss. We recommend
that you wear hearing protec-
tion on a full-time basis. Noise
over 85dB on a long-term
basis can cause severe hearing loss. Noise
over 90db adjacent to the Operator over a
long-term basis may cause permanent, total
hearing loss.
4. Clear working area of stones, branches or
hidden obstacles that might be hooked or
snagged, causing injury or damage.
NOTE: Hearing loss from loud
noise (from tractors, chain
saws, radios, and other such
sources close to the ear) is cu-
mulative over a lifetime without
hope of natural recovery.
