ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED WITH
YOUR HELP!
The best safety device is a careful operator. SPARTAN
EQUIPMENT and your dealer ask that
YOU
be that
careful, responsible equipment operator.
YOU
ARE THE KEY TO SAFETY BECAUSE:
YOU
are responsible for the SAFE operation and
maintenance of
YOUR
Limb Saw.
Pay attention to the job at hand. Do not let your mind
lose concentration on what you are doing. No accident
prevention program can be successful without the
wholehearted cooperation of the person who is directly
responsible for the operation of the equipment.
YOU
are responsible to familiarize yourself, and
anyone else who will assemble, operate, maintain, or
work around this product, with the safety information
contained in this manual.
If accidents are to be prevented
(and accidents can
be prevented),
that prevention will come from
equipment operators who accept their complete
responsibility and anticipate the results of their
actions.
YOU
are responsible to read ALL information contained
in this manual to any operators or maintenance
personnel who are not fully able to read the written
English language. Whether
YOU
read the manual as
written or translate it into another language,
YOU
must
make certain that all operators and maintenance
personnel have complete understanding of the full and
exact contents of this manual.
The designer, the manufacturer, and the safety
engineer all help create a safe product, but their
combined efforts can be wiped out with a single
careless act by the operator of that product.
YOU
can reduce the risk of injury or death by
following all safety precautions and by using good
safety practices.
Do not attempt to operate this equipment under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
