1. Basic safety precautions
■
Pay attention to fire.
●
Bringing a open flame close to fuel and oil may invite a fire.
In particular, fuel can catch fire very easily and it is dangerous.
●
Do not bring a fire such as of cigarette or of match close to the
flammable materials.
●
Supply fuel with the engine stopped after no fire has been con-
firmed around the rammer.
●
Tighten the caps such as for fuel and for oil securely.
■
Pay attention to ventilation.
●
Exhaust gas is harmful for your health. If the engine has to be
run in a room or in a poorly ventilated area, ventilate the area by
opening windows and/or entrances.
■
Check the machine body before operation.
●
Check to see if each part of the machine functions properly at a safe place. If it is found
anything wrong, be sure to take corrective measures to start operating the machine.
●
Check the machine for unusual noise, unnatural vibration, heat and smell. If it is found
something wrong, stop the machine at a safe place immediately and check and locate the
cause to repair it.
■
Be careful not to be caught in the machine.
●
Do not stand close to the machine while operating the machine
because your hand, body, or clothe is likely to be caught in the
rotating members which may result in an injury.
Be careful not to be caught in the machine. Be sure to stop the
engine before performing inspections and maintenance for rotat-
ing members and their vicinities.
