2.2 General precautions
Safety rules
 Only trained and authorised personnel may operate and
maintain the machine.
 Follow all safety rules, precautions and instructions when
operating or performing maintenance on the machine.
 If you are under the influence of alcohol or medication, your
ability to safely operate or repair your machine may be
severely impaired, endangering yourself and everyone else
on your jobsite.
 When working with another operator or with a person on
worksite traffic duty, be sure that all personnel understand all
hand signals that are to be used.
Getting to know the machine
Please read this manual carefully before operating the machine.
If you do not understand any part of the content of this manual,
let the person in charge explain the matter to you.
If abnormalities are found
If you detect any abnormality in the machine during operation or
maintenance (noise, vibration, smell, incorrect gauges, smoke,
oil leakage, etc., or any abnormal display on the warning devices
or monitor), report to the person in charge and have the neces-
sary action taken. Do not operate the machine until the abnormal-
ity has been corrected.
Clothing and personal safety equipment
 Do not wear loose clothing or accessories. There is a hazard
that they may catch on control levers or other protruding
parts.
 If you have long hair and it hangs out from your hard hat, there
is a hazard that it may get caught up in the machine. Tie your
hair up.
 Always wear a hard hat and safety shoes. If the nature of the
work requires it, wear safety goggles, mask, gloves, hearing
protection, or a safety belt when operating or maintaining the
machine.
 Check that all safety equipment functions properly before
using it.
