  • Page 9: General Safety Guidelines

    The primary challenge for most on-site maintenance is that repairs are often done under difficult conditions. CLIMAX Portable Machining & Welding Systems leads the way in promoting the safe use of portable machine tools. Safety is a joint effort. As the operator of this machine, you are expected to do your part by closely examining the job site and following the operating procedures outlined in this manual, your own company rules, and local regulations.

  • Page 10: Machine Specific Safety Practices

    MACHINE SPECIFIC SAFETY PRACTICES All aspects of the machine have been designed with safety in mind. Following are safety practices that you should keep in mind when using the CLIMAX BB7100 Boring Machine. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Metal Fragment Hazard...

  • Page 11: Safety Warning Symbols

    SAFETY WARNING SYMBOLS The purpose of product safety signs and labels is to increase the level of awareness to possible dangers. Safety Alert Symbols indicate DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION. These symbols may be used in conjunction with other symbols or pictographs. Failure to obey safety warnings can result in serious injury.

  • Page 12: 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 Portable Machine Tool and the workpiece as a whole. Page 4 BB7100 Operating Manual...
