Creating a Safe Workplace
For a safe workplace, wear protective gear, avoid
unsafe conditions, and practice safe behaviors.
Wearing Protective Gear
People near the 6710D while it is operating must wear
hard hats, eye protection, and ear protection. Heavy-
soled shoes with toe protection and a high visibility vest
or other enhanced visibility clothing, and other safety
equipment are recommended and may be required by
local codes.
Avoiding Unsafe Conditions
A safe workplace depends on the following conditions:
Training: Do not operate this machine unless you have
been trained in its safe use.
Crowding: Do not stand or walk near the loader when
it is loading the 6710D hopper.
Cleanliness: Using compressed air to clean the
machine of debris or for other maintenance activities
can be hazardous. Wear eye protection. Debris or small
objects can be blown with enough force to injure or
blind.
Use only reduced pressure nozzles or other means of
keeping air pressures at or below 30 psi (2.1 bar). This
pressure is recommended by OSHA (in the U.S.) as the
maximum safe air pressure to use for cleaning dust and
debris from the machine.
Important
Keep the maintenance air compressor stowed
against the machine during grinding operation to
prevent material buildup on top of the air compres-
sor assembly.
Ventilation:
Engine exhaust contains products of
combustion that are harmful to health. The engine uses
oxygen and creates a deadly atmosphere. Always start
and operate engine in a well-ventilated area. In enclosed
areas, vent engine exhaust outside. Ensure that airborne
concentrations of exhaust emissions do not exceed cur-
rent health standards.
Hazardous Materials: Certain job sites and demoli-
tion operations may contain hazardous materials, such
as asbestos, mixed in with the materials meant for
grinding. Grinding food wastes can produce dangerous
methane gases in the emissions.
Avoid feeding hazardous materials into the machine. Be
aware of the potential for such hazards and notify the
authorities to take appropriate action in removing the
hazardous materials prior to grinding.
Motor Oil: Used and hot motor oil vapors can be haz-
ardous. Inhaling vapors or swallowing oil can be dan-
gerous. Avoid prolonged contact with used motor oil.
Lifting:
Avoid heavy lifting to prevent back injury and
muscle strains. Avoid twisting or over-reaching, espe-
cially when lifting or carrying heavy weights. When
work requires heavy lifting, get help or use mechanical
assistance.
Low Lighting: Ensure that the work site is adequately
lit in low lighting conditions.
