  • Page 15: Machine - Specific Safety Precautions

    Moving parts – CLIMAX machines have numerous exposed moving parts and interfaces that can cause severe impact, pinching, cutting, and other injuries. Except for stationary operating controls, avoid contact with mov- ing parts by hands or tools during machine operation. Remove gloves and secure hair, clothing, jewelry, and pocket items to prevent them from becoming entangled in moving parts.

  • Page 16: Risk Assessment And Hazard Mitigation

    Due to the unique nature of portable machining applications, identifying one or more hazards that must be addressed is typical. When performing the on-site risk assessment, it is important to consider the Porta- ble Machine Tool and the workpiece as a whole. Page 4 VM8000 Operating Manual...
