Safety
General
Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the main
concerns in designing and developing a new piece of
equipment. Designers and manufacturers build in as
many safety features as possible. However, every year
many accidents occur, which could have been avoided by
a few seconds of thought and a more careful approach to
handling the equipment.
Improper operation and maintenance of this unit could
result in a dangerous situation that could cause injury or
death.
