Safety Information
Personal Safety (Continued)
•
Do not touch parts that might be hot from operation. Allow parts to cool before
attempting to maintain, adjust, or service.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the machine in unexpected situations. Extending your body too
far can result in a loss of balance and you may fall which will result in injury.
•
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement
should occur during assembly, installation, and operation, maintenance,
repairing or moving.
•
Keep in mind that the operator or user is responsible for accidents, hazards or
unexpected events involving the machine that occur to other people or their
property. It is the responsibility of the user to assess the potential risk of the area
where work is being carried out. The operator or user must take all necessary
precautions to ensure their own safety and that of others, especially on slopes or
rough, slippery and unstable ground.
Inspect Your Machine
•
Check your machine before starting it. Keep guards in place and in working
order. Make sure all nuts, bolts, etc., are securely tightened.
•
You must check the general condition of the machine before use.
•
Never operate the machine when it is in need of repair or is in poor mechanical
condition. Replace damaged, missing, or failed parts before using it. Check for
fuel leaks. Keep the machine in safe working condition.
•
Do not use the machine if the machine’s switch does not turn off the machine
when running. Any machine that can’t be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be replaced.
•
Regularly check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine area before starting it. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the machine may result in personal injury.
•
If the machine should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the machine and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration is generally a warning sign of trouble.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is off before transporting the
machine or performing any maintenance or service on the unit. Transporting or
performing maintenance or service on a machine with its switch on invites
accidents.
•
Do not tamper with or disable safety systems.
•
Only use manufacturer-recommended attachments.
•
Before using, always visually inspect to see that the tools are not worn out or
damaged. Replace worn out or damaged elements and bolts in set to preserve
balance.
•
Keep the machine in good operating condition. Operating the machine in poor
or questionable condition could result in serious injury.
•
Be sure all safety devices are in working order and warning labels are in place.
