  • Page 19: Thrown Objects And Operator Safety

    Thrown objects and operator safety An operational characteristic of all grinders is that objects may be thrown out of the hopper. Thrown objects may present a safety hazard to persons in the area. This section is to inform the operator of this characteristic, and what can be done to reduce the risk of injury to the operator and persons in the area.

  • Page 20: Service And Maintenance

    Keeping the tub covered with DuraTech Industries Tub Covers will also reduce the risk of potential injury or property damage. Use of a Tub Cover will not reduce the area over which thrown objects may fall, but it does reduce the percentage of objects thrown from the tub.

  • Page 21: Personal Protection Equipment

    When searching for a suspected leak, use a piece of wood or a cardboard rather than your hands. If injured, seek medical attention immediately to prevent serious infection or reaction. When replacing any part on your Industrial Tub Grinder, be sure to use only DuraTech authorized parts. Personal protection equipment Personal protection equipment...
