Read and follow all safety precautions. Failure to do so may
result in serious injury or death.
SAFETY RULES
•
ONLY trained and authorized personnel can operate and maintain the machine.
•
Follow all safety rules, precautions and instructions when operating or performing maintenance on the machine.
•
When working with another operator or a person on worksite traffic duty, be sure all personnel understand all
hand signals that are to be used.
SAFETY FEATURES

Be sure all guards and covers are in their proper position. Have guards and covers repaired if damaged.
(See Walk-Around Inspection, Operating Instructions - Section 3)
•
Learn the proper use of safety features such as safety locks, safety pins, and seat belts, and use these safety
features properly.
•
NEVER remove any safety features. ALWAYS keep them in good operating condition.
•
Improper use of safety features could result in serious bodily injury or death.
CLOTHING AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE ITEMS
•
Avoid loose clothing, jewelry, and loose long hair. They can catch on controls or in moving parts and cause
serious injury or death. Also, do not wear oily clothes because they are
flammable.
•
Wear a hard hat, safety glasses, safety shoes, mask or gloves when
operating or maintaining the machine. Always wear safety goggles, hard
hat and heavy gloves if your job involves scattering metal chips or minute
materials----this is so particularly when driving pins with a hammer and
when cleaning the air cleaner element with compressed air. Check also
that there is no one near the machine.
UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION
•
Any modification made without authorization from Komatsu can create hazards.
•
Before making a modification, consult your Komatsu distributor. Komatsu will not be responsible for any injury
or damage caused by any unauthorized modification.
