- Follow Safety Instructions: Stresses the importance of reading and following all safety signs and messages, ensuring signs are maintained, operating the machine correctly and safely, allowing only trained personnel to operate, keeping the machine in proper working condition, and avoiding unauthorized modifications.
- Prepare for Emergencies: Recommends having a first aid kit and fire extinguisher readily available, understanding their use, establishing emergency procedures, and posting emergency contact numbers.
- Wear Protective Clothing: Advises wearing close-fitting clothing and appropriate safety equipment such as hard hats, safety shoes, safety glasses, heavy gloves, hearing protection, reflective clothing, wet weather gear, and respirators. Warns against loose clothing, jewelry, and operating with headphones.
- Protect Against Noise: Warns of hearing impairment from prolonged loud noise and recommends wearing earmuffs or earplugs.
- Inspect Machine: Emphasizes daily or shift-based walk-around inspections before starting to avoid personal injury, referring to the "PRE-START INSPECTION" chapter in the operator's manual.
- General Precautions for Cab: Instructions for maintaining a safe cab environment, including removing dirt/oil from boots, storing tools properly, avoiding transparent bottles or window decorations that could focus sunlight, refraining from listening to radio/music headphones or using mobile phones while operating, keeping flammable objects away, and properly extinguishing cigarettes.
- Use Handholds and Steps: Advises facing the machine and maintaining three-point contact when mounting/dismounting, not using controls as handholds, never jumping on/off, and being careful of slippery conditions.
- Adjust the Operator's Seat: Highlights the importance of a properly adjusted seat to prevent fatigue and misoperations, ensuring the operator can fully depress pedals and operate control levers with their back against the seat.
- Fasten Your Seat Belt: Stresses the importance of wearing a seat belt to prevent injury or death in case of overturn, and recommends inspecting and replacing the seat belt every three years.
- Move and Operate Machine Safely: Warns against running over bystanders, emphasizing confirming bystander locations, keeping travel alarms and horns working, using a signal person in congested areas, and coordinating hand signals.
- Operate Only From Operator's Seat: Prohibits starting the engine from outside the operator's seat or by shorting starter terminals, and requires confirming all control levers are in neutral before starting.
- Jump Starting: Provides warnings about battery gas explosion and instructs to follow specific jump-starting procedures from the operator's manual, ensuring the operator is in the seat and never using a frozen battery.
- Keep Riders Off Machine: States that only the operator should be on the machine to prevent injury from being struck by objects or thrown off, and to avoid obstructed views.
- Provide Signals for Jobs Involving Multiple Numbers of Machines: Recommends using common signals and appointing a signal person for multi-machine job sites.
- Confirm Direction of Machine to Be Driven: Advises confirming the steering wheel/shift lever direction and the undercarriage position relative to the cab to avoid incorrect movement.

- Avoid Injury From Rollaway Accidents: Details steps to prevent rollaways, such as parking on level ground, lowering the bucket, engaging the parking brake, turning off auto-idle/H/P mode, cooling down the engine, stopping the engine, removing the key, pulling the pilot control shut-off lever to LOCK, blocking tires, and positioning the machine to prevent rolling.
- Avoid Injury From Back-Over and Swing Accidents: Emphasizes looking around, ensuring bystanders are clear, using travel alarms and horns, employing a signal person if the view is obstructed, understanding signals, keeping windows/mirrors/lights clean, and reducing speed in low visibility.
- Avoid Tipping: Warns of the danger of tipping, especially on grades, and advises fastening the seat belt. Instructions include preparing a flat operating area, keeping the bucket low, reducing operating speeds, avoiding direction changes on grades, not traveling across grades steeper than 5 degrees, reducing swing speed with loads, and being careful on frozen ground.
- Avoid Power Lines: Stresses maintaining a safe distance (at least 3 m (10 ft) plus twice the line insulator length) from electric lines and complying with local regulations. Warns that wet ground expands the area of electric shock risk.
- Object Handling: Provides safety guidelines for craning operations, including complying with local regulations, not using damaged chains/cables/slings/ropes, positioning the upperstructure with travel motors at the rear, moving loads slowly, keeping persons away from the load, not moving loads over people, not allowing anyone near the load until it's safely supported, and never attaching slings/chains to bucket teeth.
