Demolition work
The machine is often used for demolition work. Be
extremely careful and study the work site
thoroughly. Use fall protection over the cab against
falling objects.
Make sure that the material, on which the
machine is standing, cannot collapse or slide.
Operate the machine on firm level ground, if
necessary prepare the area with another machine
first.
Do not work close to free-standing walls, which
may fall over the machine.
At all times be aware of where your workmates
are. Do not work if anyone is dangerously close
to the demolition object.
Leave sufficient space in front of the machine for
debris to fall to the ground and not hit the cab.
Fence off the dangerous part of the work site.
Spray water over the demolition site to prevent
harmful dust from spreading.
Boots with steel reinforcements in the soles and toe
caps, protective goggles and a hard hat are obvious
protective items to be worn on a demolition site.
If the machine is equipped with special demolition
equipment, read the supplied instruction booklet
about the safety risks that might occur and how the
demolition equipment is used.
