stand all hand signals that are to be used.
IF ABNORMALITIES ARE FOUND
If you find any abnormality in the machine during operation or maintenance (noise, vibration, smell, incorrect
gauges, smoke, oil leakage, etc., or any abnormal display on the warning devices or monitor), report to the person
in charge and have the necessary action taken. Do not operate the machine until the abnormality has been cor-

If you have long hair and it hangs out from your hard hat,
there is a hazard that it may get caught up in the machine,
so tie your hair up and be careful not to let it get caught.
Always wear a hard hat and safety shoes. If the nature of
the work requires it, wear safety glasses, mask, gloves, ear
plugs, and safety belt when operating or maintaining the
machine.
Check that all protective equipment functions properly
before using it.
When operating by radio control, the operator may change position while carrying out the radio control opera-
tion.
Check beforehand that there are no obstacles in the surrounding area. The area on the opposite side is a
blind spot, so be particularly careful to check that there are no persons or obstacles.
