SAFETY GENERAL PRECAUTIONS DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN ARTICULATED PORTION 0. If the clearance at the articulating portion changes, it will lead to serious personal injury. Do not allow anyone to come inside the articulation range. Never enter or put your hand, arm, or any part of your body in the movable portion between the work equipment and machine or between the cylinder and the work equipment. If someone operates the control levers by mistake, the gap between the work equipment and machine and between the cylinder and work equipment will change, and you, your hand, or arm will be caught and you may suffer serious injury.
If you have to go into a movable portion, always take action to secure the work equipment and ensure that it cannot move. PREVENTION OF BURNS 0.
