AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS
Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Cluttered areas invite injuries. Keep your work
area clean with sufficient light. Keep the area around the machine clear of obstructions, grease, oil,
rubbish and other debris which could cause persons to fall onto moving parts.
INSPECT YOUR MACHINE
Check all bolts, nuts, and screws for tightness before each use, especially those securing guards and
drive mechanisms. Vibration during use, may cause these to loosen. Form a habit of checking to see
that all other tools/equipment are removed from the working area before using. Replace damaged,
missing or failed parts before using it. Warning labels carry important information. Replace any
missing or damaged warning labels.
DRESS PROPERLY
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, scarfs, neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist watches), which can be
caught in moving parts. Protective electrically non-conductive gloves and non-skid heavy duty
footwear are highly recommended when working. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair, preventing it from getting caught in machinery.

NEVER LEAVE MACHINE UNATTENDED
Do not leave the machine unattended until it has come to a complete stop.
FILLING THE DRUM - WATER
When filling the drum with water, do not connect a hose pipe via a fixed coupling, which could cause
a build-up of pressure within the drum. Always empty the roller drum after you have finished using
it, in order to prevent it from rusting and also protect from sub-zero temperatures. Anti-freeze can
be used for further protection.
FILLING THE DRUM –SAND
When filling the drum with sand, it is recommended a large funnel is used to ease the filling method.
