•
Wear ALWAYS the hard-helmet, safety goggles, gloves, safety shoes, ear protections and,
when it is prescribed, a dust musk.
•
Wear tight-fitting clothes and avoid operating with short trousers or t-shirts, or other bare
parts of the body. Pay attention to long loose hair, gather them to prevent they get in contact
and trapped in moving parts.
•
Before operating, PREPARE ALWAYS A WORKING PLAN that considers and foresees
problems, interruptions and avoids most of all dangerous situations. This little operation
strategy, guarantees safety and improves productivity
•
Place always the power pack in a plan level, in a sure and stable position protected from the
traffic and in a well visible position. Signal one’s position not to cause danger for oneself and
others.
•
If the power pack is transported on vehicles, be sure that it is well positioned on board and it
is blocked on the loading platform for avoiding dangerous jerks, bumps or overturning.
•
Work only in good physical and mental conditions. Always pay the maximum attention!
•
Do not work on unstable or adapted supports (such as oil cans, boxes, wheelbarrows, etc.).
If you need to work in elevated positions, use only stable and safe supports approved by the
local safety rules.
•
When you operate in difficult positions, do not reach out and never lean against the tool.
Keep the balance on your legs.
•
Be sure that the equipment is in perfect working conditions, without oil leaks.
•
Keep the protection devices always in good conditions and preserve the readability of the
safety stickers.
•
The working area must be examined and well-known to avoid unexpected situations. If you
work along roads, make well visible your position and warn the traffic by the use of signals,
flashing lights, or other prescribed road signs.
