This Safety manual contains important information that must be followed to prevent acci-
dents and property damage while working with and around the machine. The manual is de-
signed to do the following:
•Provide information on how to detect and prevent hazardous situations
•Provide information about the safe, correct, and economical use of the machine and
related equipment
•Provide information on risks involved and the hazard zones
•Provide information on safety equipment and the safety signs posted on the machine
•Provide information about environmental regulations
This manual is one part of the complete machine delivery and its related equipment.

machine and its related equipment.
The information in this manual and all applicable local regulations must be followed.
1.2 Target Group
The information in this publication is intended for everyone involved in the application, op-
eration, and maintenance of the machine and related equipment. All readers are expected
to possess basic competence regarding mining methods, construction methods, and the
machines used for that kind of operation.
1.3 Safety Messages in Publications
Safety messages in publications declare hazards and the related measures to avoid the
hazards in that particular situation. The safety messages contain signal words (Danger,
Warning, Caution, and Notice) that relate to the consequences of those specific hazards.

The following are examples of how safety messages are structured. Safety messages con-
tain:
•Signal word (determining the degree of the hazard)
•Hazard - stating what the hazard deals with (rotating parts, tipping hazard)
•Consequence of the hazard, if not avoided
•Explanation on how to avoid the hazard
DANGER
