The operator has the responsibility of being familiar with all
operating and safety procedures and following them.
6.1 Operating Safety
Read and obey the safety signs on the machine. Clean or
replace them if they are not legible.
There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator
who recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable
safety practices. This machine must be used with all its
safety equipment properly installed to minimize the chance of
accidents.
1.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Tie back
long hair, remove jewelry, and avoid loose fitting clothing.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can cause permanent
hearing loss! Wear hearing protection on a full-time basis
when using this machine.
2.
The operator must be in control of the machine at all times.
Read and understand owner's manual before starting.
Review safety instructions annually.
3.
Never use engine-powered machinery indoors. Gas engine
