• Have loads fastened and the operator guided by a qualified person
having specific knowledge of lifting gear applications and the usual
hand signals.
• The person giving instructions to the operator must stay in visual
contact with the operator when fastening, guiding or removing the load
(maintain visual contact).
• If this not be possible, ask one more person with the same qualifica-
tions to guide.
• The operator may not leave his seat as long as the load is raised.

removing a load.
• Wear protective clothing and equipment when fastening, guiding and
removing loads (for example a hard hat, safety glasses, protective
gloves, safety boots).
• Do not place lifting and fastening gear over sharp edges or rotating
parts. Loads must be fastened so as to prevent them from slipping or
falling.
• Move loads only on horizontal, level and firm ground.
• Move loads close to the ground.
• In order to avoid oscillating movements of loads:
- Perform smooth, slow movements with the machine.

- Bear in mind the weather conditions (for example the wind force).
- Keep a minimum safety distance from objects.
• The operator may allow the load to be fastened and removed only if
the machine and its work equipment are not being moved.
• Danger zones must not overlap with the work zones of other machines.
