For work with breakers,
install a front guard on the windshield.

or shear work, install a front guard on the windshield
and a top guard on the cab. Also, place
a laminate coating sheet over the windshield.
For work in mines, quarries,
demolition,
tunnels or other places where there is danger of falling rocks, put
FOPS (falling object protective
structure)
in place. Also, place a laminate coating sheet over the windshield.
The above comments
are made with regards to typical working conditions.
By all means you should put on
other guards if required by conditions
at your particular
site.
For details of safety guards, please contact your Komatsu distributor.
Also, even for other types of work, if there is any danger of being hit by falling or flying objects or of objects
entering the operator's
cab, select and install a guard that matches the working conditions.
Be sure to close the front window
before commencing
work.
When carrying
out the above operations,
make sure to keep all persons other than the operator
outside the
range of falling or flying objects.
Be particularly
sure to maintain
a proper distance when carrying out shear
operations.
