When operating and servicing the machine, wear the appropri- ate protective equipment, e.g. safety helmet, safety goggles, safety shoes, dust protection mask, and safety gloves. Always wear safety goggles, safety helmet, and protective clothing, if it is likely that chippings or splinters will be pro- duced while operating the machine (e.g.
when removing or driving in bolts or cleaning with compressed air). Ensure that no unauthorised person is within the danger zone. 9.5 MACHINE MODIFICATIONS Komatsu will not be liable for modifications performed without prior expressed consent by the manufacturer.
