GENERAL PRECAUTIONS SAFETY WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions.. FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND FIRST AID KIT Always follow the precautions below to prepare for action if any injury or fire should occur. Be sure that fire extinguishers have been provided and read the labels to ensure that you know how to use them. Provide a first aid kit at the storage point. Carry out periodic checks and add to the contents if necessary. Know what to do in the event of a fire or injury. List the phone numbers of persons (doctor, ambulance, fire station, etc.) to contact in case of an emergency.
Post these contact numbers in specified places and make sure that all personnel know the numbers and correct contact procedures. PROTECTION AGAINST FALLING OR FLYING OBJECTS If there is any danger of falling or flying objects hitting the opera- tor, install protective guards to protect the operator as required for each particular situation. For work with breakers, install a front guard on the wind- shield. Also, place a laminate coating sheet over the wind- shield. The above comments are made with regards to typical work- ing conditions. By all means you should put on other guards if required by conditions at your particular site.
For details of safety guards, please contact your Komatsu dis- tributor.

Be sure to close the front window before commencing work. A0084311 When carrying out the above operations, make sure to keep all persons other than the operator outside the range of falling or flying objects. Be particularly sure to maintain a proper dis- tance when carrying out shear operations. 22 A0055070
