PROTECTION AGAINST FALLING OR FLYING OBJECTS
If there is any danger of falling or flying objects hitting the operator, install protective guards in place
to protect the operator as required for each particular situation.
l For work with breakers, install a front guard on the windshield. Also, place a laminate coating
sheet over the windshield.
l For demolition or shear work, install a front guard on the windshield and a top guard on the
cab. Also, place a laminate coating sheet over the windshield.
l For work in mines, tunnel or other places where there is danger of falling rocks, put FOPS (falling
object protective structure) in place. Also, place a laminate coating sheet over the windshield.
The above comments are made with regards to typical working conditions. By all means you
should put on other guards if required by conditions at your particular site.
For details of safety guards, please contact your Komatsu distributor.
Also, even for other types of work, if there is any danger of getting hit by falling or flying objects,
or of objects entering the operator’s cab, select and install a guard that matches the working
conditions.
Be sure to close the front window before commencing work.
When carrying out the above operations, make sure to keep all persons other than the operator
outside the range of falling or flying objects. Be particularly sure to maintain a proper distance when
carrying out shear operations.
