IN GENERAL:
When using rotating head cutting equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury.
Operate this tool only in accordance with specific operating instructions.
DRESS CONSIDERATIONS:
Use standard safety equipment. Hard hats, safety shoes, safety harnesses,
protective clothes, and other safety devices should always be used when
appropriate.
Use safety glasses. Do not operate cutting tools without eye protection.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
rotating and moving parts. Avoid slippery floors or wear nonskid footwear. If
you have long hair, wear protective hair covering to contain it.
WORK AREA:
Keep the work area clean. Cluttered work areas and benches invite injuries.
Consider the work area environment. Keep the area well lit. Keep electrical
cords, cables, rags, rigging straps, etc. clear of rotating equipment. Do not
use power cutting tools in the presence of flammable liquids and gasses.
Keep visitors away. Do not let visitors or untrained personnel near operating
tools. Enforce eye protection requirements for all observers.
Do not over reach. Keep proper footing at all times.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate
tools when you are tired.
TOOL CARE:
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools in good operating condition. Sharp tool
bits perform better and safer than dull tool bits. Well maintained tools
function properly when needed.
Check for damaged parts. If a tool has malfunctioned, been dropped or hit, it
must be checked for damage. Run no-load tests and feed function checks.
Do a complete visual inspection.
Electric motors. Use only with proper AC voltage power sources and observe
all normal electric shock hazard procedures.
Do not abuse power and control cords. Pulling or running over cords and
cables can result in electrical shock hazards and malfunctions. Keep control
and power cords out of all cutting fluids and water.
Hydraulic drives. Observe proper procedures for electrically driven power
sources. Avoid damage to hydraulic lines. Keep quick-disconnects clean.
Grit contamination causes malfunctions.
