1.7 Pre-Use Checks

Before beginning work, carefully check that all components of the machine, especially rubber
or plastic parts, are in place, in good condition and working properly. If the inspection reveals
any damage or excessive wear, no matter how slight, immediately replace or repair the
component.
Walk around the machine to ensure that all components are in good condition and operational
and that there are no foreign objects or debris (rags, tools, etc...) in or about the machine
which could affect its operation.
These checks must be carried out:
• Before starting the machine.
• At regular time intervals.
• After any modification or repair.
The machine may only be started after this pre-use check is successfully completed.
Do not use the machine if it is placed out of service for a tune up, maintenance, lubrication, etc.

1.8 During Use

In the event you hear any strange noise or feel unusual vibrations, if a component system
is not operating properly or if there is anything unusual at all, stop using the machine
immediately.
• Identify the cause and take any necessary remedial action.
• Contact your supervisor if necessary.
