OPERATOR PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment helps make resurfacing
safer. However, equipment does not take the place of
safe operating practices. Always wear durable work cloth-
ing during service activity. Shop aprons or shop coats
may also be worn, however loose fitting clothing should
be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves are recommended
to protect operators hands when handling brake parts.
Sturdy leather work shoes with steel toes
and oil resistant soles should be used by
all service personnel to help prevent injury
in typical shop activities. Eye protection is
essential during rotor resurfacing. Safety
glasses with side shields, goggles, or face
shields are acceptable. Back belts provide
support during lifting activities and are also helpful in
providing operator protection. Consideration should also
be given to the use of hearing protection if brake service
activity is performed in an enclosed area, or if noise levels
are high.
THIS SYMBOL POINTS OUT IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHICH IF NOT FOLLOWED
COULD ENDANGER THE PERSONAL SAFETY AND/OR PROPERTY OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS
AND CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN
THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE THIS MACHINE.
