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.
Do not override the deadman switch on the power unit. Locking down,
obstructing, or in any way defeating the deadman switch on the power
drive unit may result in serious injury.
DRESS CONSIDERATIONS:
Use standard safety equipment. Hard hats, safety shoes, safety har-
nesses, 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 inju-
ries.
Consider the work area environment. Keep the area well lit. Keep electri-
cal 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 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 oper-
ate 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.
