GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and use. Exercising
respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to property may
result.

limitations as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
2.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS before using the machine. Any damaged component, should be
checked to ensure it will operate properly and perform its intended function correctly. Check for
breakage of parts, mountings, and any other condition that may affect its operation.
A damaged part should be properly repaired or replaced.

it could fall with possible serious consequences.
