SAFETY
Basic rules regarding safety in and around a crushing plant are outlined in
Section 0
,
entitled Safety of the main cone crusher instruction manual.
Operator safety and the safety of others depends upon reasonable care and judgement
in the operation of this Crusher. A careful operator is good insurance against an
accident.
Most accidents, no matter where they occur, are caused by failure to observe and
follow simple fundamental rules or precautions. For this reason most accidents can be
prevented by recognizing hazards and taking steps to avoid them before an accident
occurs.
Regardless of the care used in the design and construction of this type of equipment,
there are conditions that cannot be completely safeguarded against without interfering
with reasonable accessibility and efficient operation. Warnings are included in this
instructional manual to highlight these conditions.
