Evacuating In Case Of Fire; Beware Of Exhaust Fumes; Precautions For Welding And Grinding - Hitachi ZW180 Operator's Manual

EVACUATING IN CASE OF FIRE

• If a fire breaks out, evacuate the machine in the following
way:
• Stop the engine by turning the key switch to the OFF po-
sition if there is time.
• Use a fire extinguisher if there is time.
• Exit the machine.

BEWARE OF EXHAUST FUMES

• Prevent asphyxiation. Engine exhaust fumes can cause sick-
ness or death.
• If you must operate in a building, be sure there is ad-
equate ventilation. Either use an exhaust pipe extension
to remove the exhaust fumes or open doors and windows
to bring enough outside air into the area.

PRECAUTIONS FOR WELDING AND GRINDING

• Welding may generate gas and/or small fires.
• Be sure to perform welding in a well ventilated and pre-
pared area. Store flammable objects in a safe place before
starting welding.
• Only qualified personnel should perform welding.
Never allow an unqualified person to perform welding.
• Grinding on the machine may create fire hazards. Store
flammable objects in a safe place before starting grinding.
• After finishing welding and grinding, recheck that there are
no abnormalities such as the area surrounding the welded
area still smoldering.
