Virtually all accidents occur as the result of a failure to observe basic safety rules and
precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations
beforehand. Read and understand all of the safety messages which explain how to prevent
these accidents from occurring. Do not operate the machine until you are sure that you have
gained a proper understanding of its operation, inspection and maintenance.
