OPERATOR SAFETY

Applicator owners must give operation instructions to employees or operators before

allowing them to operate the applicator, and at least annually thereafter, according to OSHA

(Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Regulation 1928.57.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

1. Store a first aid kit in a visible, accessible location, and know how to use it.

2. Keep safety decals clean and legible at all times. Replace missing or damaged decals.

3. Before servicing, adjusting, repairing, or unplugging the applicator, stop the machine, set

the parking brake, and wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.
