SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Use the proper tool for the job. Be sure all tools are in good condition. Do not use tools which are worn, bent or have mushroomed heads because they can lead to injury. Never align holes with fingers or hands. Use the proper aligning tool to avoid injury. Remove sharp edges and burrs from reworked parts. Do not carry loose objects in pockets because they might catch on the machine and result in a fall or injury. Use only properly grounded auxiliary power sources for chargers, heaters, electrical drills and similar equipment to reduce the chance of electrical shock. Lift and handle all heavy parts with lifting devices of adequate capacity.
Secure parts with proper slings and hooks. Use lifting eyes provided. Warn nearby personnel to stand clear. DO NOT use the bucket to lift personnel or as a work platform. Mechanical failure or human error could cause unexpected movement of the attachment and serious injury or death.
