tions must be observed.
The following general precautions are recommended for all personnel who perform sys-
tem operation or maintenance.
• Do lockout-tagout procedures whenever you do maintenance and repair work.
• All personnel who repair, maintain, or operate the equipment need to know the loca-
tion of all EMERGENCY STOP buttons.
• Do not operate the equipment with any of the safety guards removed.
• Do not wear neckties, loose clothing, or long loose-hanging hair around any equip-
ment.
• Observe and follow the DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION messages throughout
this manual, in vendor manuals, and displayed on the equipment.
• DO NOT use steps or stands that allow anyone to reach over guards.
• Personnel should attend all available safety and operational training courses.
