2.3 SAFETY TRAINING
1. Train all new personnel and review instruc-
tions frequently with existing workers. Safety
is a primary concern in the design and manu-
facture of our products. Unfortunately, our ef-
forts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by a single careless act of an operator or
bystander.
2.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident pre-
vention are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of this equipment.
3. It has been said, "The best
safety feature is an informed,
careful operator." We ask
you to be that kind of an
operator. It is the operator's
responsibility to read and understand ALL
Safety and Use instructions in the manual and
to follow these. Accidents can be avoided.
4.
Working with unfamiliar equipment can
lead to careless injuries. Read this manual
before assembly or using, to acquaint
yourself with the machine. If this machine
is used by any person other than yourself,
or is loaned or rented, it is the machine
owner's responsibility to make certain that
the operator, prior to using:
• Reads and understands the operator's
manuals.
• Is instructed in safe and proper use of
the equipment.
• Understands and knows how to perform
the "safe condition" procedure:
• Flip main switch "off" or disconnect all
loads
• Shut off the engine.
• Ensure all components have stopped
moving.
5. Know your controls and how to stop the
engine and machine quickly in an emergency.
Read this manual and the one provided with
your engine.
6. Be certain only a properly trained and physi-
cally able person will use the machinery. A
person who has not read and understood all
using and safety instructions is not qualified
to use the machine. An untrained operator
exposes himself and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death. If the elderly are as-
sisting with the work, their physical limitations
need to be recognized and accommodated.
