Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the

2.6 Equipment Safety Guidelines
Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of the
main concerns in designing and developing equipment.
However, every year many accidents occur which
could have been avoided by a few seconds of thought
and a more careful approach to handling equipment.
You, the operator, can avoid many accidents by
observing the following precautions in this section.
To avoid personal injury or death, study the following
precautions and insist those working with you, or for
you to follow them.
In order to provide a better view, certain photographs
or illustrations in this manual may show an assembly
with a safety shield removed. However, equipment
should never be used in this condition. Keep all shields
in place. If shield removal becomes necessary for
repairs, replace the shield prior to use.
1. Replace any safety sign or instruction sign that is
not readable or is missing. Location of such safety
