SAFETY Avoiding Dangerous Situations Always be aware of the swing circle area of the machine, especially in tight operating conditions. Never allow other personnel near your machine while in operation the possibility of hitting or pinning other personnel between the machine and another objects becomes greater the closer they are to your machine. Always maintain a clear and visible swing circle area during machine operations at all times. Never work under overhangs or excavated bank areas. These could collapse and damage the machine or injure the operator.
When excavating a trench, always be aware of the ground condition and never attempt to dig too close or under the machine, the possibility of the machine falling into the excavated site becomes greater the closer the excavation is to the machine. To make it easier to escape if there is a problem, set the tracks at right angles to the road shoulder or cliff with the sprocket at the rear when carrying out digging operations. PC350LL-7E0 1-25
