Assembling; Precautions For Assembling - Hitachi Zaxis 850LC-3 Operator's Manual

PRECAUTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING

• Worker's Clothing
(1) Wear clothing appropriate for the job.
(2) Wear safety equipment such as a hard hat, and safety
shoes.
• Conferring Work Process
Thoroughly confer with all related personnel on the entire
work process, the role assigned to each, and precautions to
ensure safety.
• Coordinating Signal System, and Appointing Signal Person
Before starting, be sure to coordinate the signal system to
be used.
Appoint one qualified signal person (if a multiple number
of signal persons are used, different signals may confuse the
workers, possibly causing an accident). All workers should
obey the signals only from one signal person.
• Secure flat space more than 10 m (11 yd) square enough to
assemble the machine.
• Check that footing is strong enough to support the machine
weight. If required, repair the footing sufficiently so that the
machine can be kept in a horizontal position.
• Assembly work may cause the potential for personal injury.
Before starting, be sure to prepare completely, including ar-
ranging all necessary tools. Never fail to prepare the follow-
ing equipment and tools.
