Safety - Yours and Others
INT-1-3-1_3
All machinery can be hazardous. When a machine is
correctly operated and properly maintained, it is a safe
machine to work with. But when it is carelessly operated or
poorly maintained it can become a danger to you (the
operator) and others.
In this manual and on the machine you will find warning
messages. Read and understand them. They tell you of
potential hazards and how to avoid them. If you do not fully
understand the warning messages, ask your employer or
JCB distributor to explain them.
But safety is not just a matter of responding to the
warnings. All the time you are working on or with the
machine you must be thinking what hazards there might be
and how to avoid them.
Do not work with the machine until you are sure that you
can control it.
Do not start any job until you are sure that you and those
around you will be safe.
If you are unsure of anything, about the machine or the job,
ask someone who knows. Do not assume anything.
Remember
