WARNING: Failure to follow these safety
precautions may lead to a serious accident.
ASBESTOS DUST HAZARD PREVENTION
Asbestos dust can be HAZARDOUS to your health if it is inhaled.
Your Komatsu machine and genuine Komatsu spare parts do not contain any asbestos. Use only genuine
Komatsu spare parts. If spare parts containing asbestos are used, the following precautions must be observed:
• NEVER use compressed air for cleaning.
• Use water for cleaning to keep down the dust.
• Operate the machine with the wind to your back, whenever possible.
• Use an approved respirator if necessary.
CRUSHING OR CUTTING PREVENTION
• Do not enter, or put your hand or arm or any other part of your body between movable parts such as between
the work equipment and cylinders, or between the machine and work equipment.
If the work equipment is operated, the clearance will change and this may lead to serious damage or per-
sonal injury.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND FIRST AID KIT
• Know how to use fire extinguisher (if installed).
• Provide a first aid kit at the storage point.
• Know what to do in the event of a fire.
• Be sure you know the phone numbers of persons you should contact in case of an emergency.
