WARNING! Avoid death or serious injury from
entanglement. Do not wear loose clothing or
accessories. Stay away from all rotating components
when the engine is running. Contact, wrapping or
entanglement with rotating or moving parts could result in
death or serious injury.
Wear a rubber apron and rubber gloves when working
with corrosives. Wear gloves and safety shoes when
handling wooden blocks or sharp-edged metal.
Always use safety glasses, goggles or a face shield.
They provide eye protection from fluids under pressure,
during grinding and while servicing batteries. Protection
is also needed from flying debris, liquids and loose
material produced by equipment, tools and pressurized
air/water.
Wear a face shield and follow manufacturer's instructions
when you disassemble spring-loaded components or work
with battery acids. Keep pockets free of all objects that
could fall out and drop into machinery.
Handle tools and heavy parts sensibly, with regard for
the safety of yourself and others. Lower items; don't
drop them.
Prepare the Work Area
• Position the machine in a level area out of the way of
other working equipment.
• Make sure there is adequate light, ventilation and
clearance.
• Remove oil, grease or water to eliminate any slippery
surfaces.
• Clean around the area to be serviced to minimize
contamination.
Prepare the Machine
Stored energy sources (electrical, mechanical, hydraulic,
pneumatic, chemical, thermal, etc.) must be controlled
or reduced to a practical minimum before performing
any maintenance, repair, or service procedures.
CAUTION! Load and unload machinery using proper
procedures. (See page 10, Load and Unload Safely.)
