PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING
38
• Do not carry out demolition work under the machine. There is a
hazard that the machine may become unstable and tip over.
• When working on or from the top of buildings or other struc-
tures, check the strength and the structure before starting oper-
ations. There is a hazard of the building collapsing and causing
serious injury or damage.
• When carrying out demolition work, do not carry out demolition
above your head. There is a hazard of broken parts falling or of
the building collapsing and causing serious injury or property
damage.
• Do not use the impact force of the work equipment for breaking
work. There is a hazard of damage to the work equipment, or a
hazard of serious personal injury being caused by flying pieces
of broken materials, or of the machine tipping over due to reac-
tion from the impact.
• Generally speaking, the machine is more liable to overturn
when the work equipment is at the side than when it is at the
front or rear.
• When using a breaker or other heavy work equipment, there is
a hazard of the machine losing its balance and tipping over.
When operating on flat ground as well as on slopes.
• Do not suddenly lower, swing, or stop the work equipment.
• Do not suddenly extend or retract the boom cylinder. There
is a hazard that impact will cause the machine to tip over.
• Do not pass the bucket over the head of other workers or over
the operator's seat of dump trucks or other hauling equipment.
The load may spill or the bucket may hit the dump truck and
cause serious injury or property damage.
