WARNING!
Use protective guards or screens if any possibility exists of a hazard from
the failure of a specimen, assembly or structure under test.
Use protective guards whenever a risk of injury to operators and
observers exists from the failure of a test specimen, assembly or
structure, particularly where explosive disintegration may occur. Due to
the wide range of specimen materials, assemblies or structures that may
be tested, any hazard resulting from the failure of a test specimen,
assembly or structure is entirely the responsibility of the owner and the
user of the equipment.
WARNING!
Protect all cables and hoses (electric, hydraulic and air) from damage and
inadvertent disconnection.
The hoses used for this system are high pressure hoses. If hoses are
damaged or disconnected without being properly drained, water can be
emitted at very high pressures and cause injury to personnel. Never route
cables or hoses across the floor without protection, nor suspend them
overhead. Use padding to avoid chafing where they are routed around
corners or through wall openings.
WARNING!
Wear protective clothing when handling equipment at extremes of
temperature.
Materials testing is often carried out at non-ambient temperatures using
ovens, furnaces or cryogenic chambers. Extreme temperature means an
operating temperature exceeding 60 °C (140 °F) or below 0 °C (32 °F).
You must use protective clothing, such as gloves, when handling
equipment at these temperatures. Display a warning notice concerning
low or high temperature operation whenever temperature control
equipment is in use. You should note that the hazard from extreme
temperature could extend beyond the immediate area of the test.
