General

Safety of the operator and bystanders is one of t h e
main concerns in designing and developing a new
piece of equipment. Designers and manufacturers
build in as many safety features as possible. However,
every year many accidents occur, which could have
been avoided by a few seconds of thought and a more
careful approach to handling the equipment.
Most work-related accidents are caused by failure to
observe basic safety rules or precautions, neglect, or
carelessness. An accident can often be avoided by
recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an
accident occurs. As you operate, or maintain the unit,
you must be alert to potential hazards. You should also
have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform
any assembly or maintenance procedures.
Only properly trained people should operate this
machine. Improper operation and maintenance of this
unit could result in a dangerous situation that could
cause injury or death.
