2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Before you start, read this Operator’s Manual and complete occupational safety
and health training.
2. Use only in applications specified in this Operator’s Manual.
3. Make sure that the carriage has all parts and they are genuine and not damaged.
4. Make sure that the specifications of the power source are the same as those
specified on the rating plate.
5. When you use a power supply, connect it to a correctly grounded power source.
6. Do not carry the carriage by the cords, and do not pull them. This can cause
damage and electric shock.
7. Keep untrained bystanders away from the carriage.
8. Before each use, ensure the correct condition of the carriage, battery, power supply,
power source, cords, control parts, rollers, and wheels.
9. Before each use, make sure that no part is cracked or loose. Make sure to maintain
correct conditions that can have an effect on the operation of the carriage.
10. Keep the carriage dry. Do not expose it to rain, snow, or frost.
11. Keep the work area well lit, clean, and free of obstacles.
12. Do not use near flammable materials, or in explosive environments.
13. Move and put the carriage by using the carrying handle.
14. Put the carriage so that all four wheels are on the surface. Make sure that no
contact is between the surface and chassis.
15. Install the battery / power supply only after you set the travel direction switch to the
middle position.
16. Install only torches whose diameter matches the diameter of the torch holder.
17. Make sure that the torch cables are not on the surface. Hang them to decrease the
load on the carriage. Use only cables whose weight is not more than 8 kg (18 lbs).
18. At heights, use a protection to not let the carriage fall.
19. Do not stay below the carriage that is put at heights.
20. Use ear and eye protection (helmet, shield, and screen), gloves, and protective
clothing. Do not use loose clothing.
21. Do not try to stop the travel by hand. To stop, set the travel direction switch to the
middle position.
22. Maintain only after you remove the battery / power supply.
