SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A
AVOID ACCIDENTS
Most accidents, whether they occur in industry, on the farm. at
home or on the highway, are caused by the failure of some indi-
vidual to follow simple and fundamental safety rules or precau-
tions. For this reason MOST ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED
by recognizing the real cause and doing something about it be-
fore the accident occurs.
Regardless of the care used in the design and construct1on of
any type of equipment there are many conditions that cannot
be completely safeguarded against without interfering w1th
reasonable accessibility and efficient operation.
A careful operator is the best insurance against an
accident. The complete observance of one simple rule
would prevent many thousand serious injuries each
year. That rule is:
NEVER ATTEMPT TO CLEAN, OIL OR ADJUST
A MACHINE WHILE IT IS IN MOTION.
