SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
Do not override the deadman switch on the power unit. Locking down, obstruct-
ing, or in any way defeating the deadman switch on the power drive unit may
result in serious injury.
Use standard safety equipment. Hard hats, safety shoes, safety harnesses,
protective clothes, and other safety devices should always be used when ap-
propriate.
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.
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 in the presence of flammable liquids and gasses.
Keep visitors away. Do not let visitors or untrained personnel at or near operat-
ing 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.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools in good operating condition. Sharp tool
bits
perform better and safer than dull tool bits. Well maintained tools func-
tion 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.
