ANNEXURE 1
Basic Safety Precautions and Procedures:
Safety is all about preventing accidents. Personal injury typically occurs because safety precautions are
either not learned, or they are not practiced. The following information is intended to assist you with some
basic safety procedures and precautions to help ensure your safety when operating and servicing your
ELECTRABRAKE machine.
If you cannot operate basic tools, you should not attempt to maintain or repair your ELECTRABRAKE
machine. Contact the Manufacturer or Sales Agent if any repair or maintenance procedure is not
understood.
Keep a first aid kit near by. Be aware of and know how to use the contents of the first aid kit. It is also a
good idea to have a fire extinguisher handy just in case of an emergency.
SAFETY PROCEDURES:
Individual, electrical, machines, and operating safety precautions are relatively similar for all of the major
categories. Make sure to pay close attention to any and all safety cautions and warnings posted on the
appliance being operated or serviced. Understanding and adhering to these safety tips can greatly reduce
the risk of personal injury.
Individual Safety Precautions:
Protecting yourself from injury and harm is absolutely imperative. We strongly suggest that before you begin
to install, operate, maintain or service your ELECTRABRAKE machine that you strictly adhere to each of the
following:
Always wear gloves. A sharp edge on a machine or work peace can hurt and/or cut your hands.
