IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES
Electrocution Hazard
• This machine is not insulated and
is not equipped with electric
shock or insulation protection
features.
• Do not use this machine during
thunderstorms or heavy rain.
Should you encounter thunder-
storms or heavy rain while operat-
ing the machine, immediately
lower the platform completely to a
safe and stable position, and dis-
connect all power sources so as
to avoid personal injury or ma-
chine damage.
• Comply with the national or re-
gional provisions covering mini-
mum safety distance from live
conductors. In absence of such
provisions, comply with Page 8,
Table 2-1 Minimum Safe Distance
to keep a minimum safe distance
from power lines, electrical equip-
ment or any live (bare or insu-
lated) components. The minimum
safe distance must take into ac-
count factors such as machine
movement and the swinging or
sagging of power lines.
• If an insulating partition rated for
the voltage of the power lines is
installed, the minimum safe dis-
tance can be reduced. Such parti-
tions cannot be part of the
machine or fixed on the machine.
The reduction in the minimum
safe distance due to insulating
partitions must comply with the
relevant national or local
regulations.
• Do not use the machine as a
ground wire during welding and
polishing operations.

Tripping and Fall Hazards
• Before operating the machine,
make sure that the platform
guardrails are properly installed
and that the platform gates are
closed and properly secured.
• Operators on the platform must
wear the safety belt properly and
secure the safety belt to the speci-
fied anchorage point with the
hook. Each anchorage point shall
only be used by one person.
• Exercise extreme caution when
entering and exiting the platform.
Use only the platform gate for ac-
cess and never use the boom for
entry or exit. Before entering and
exiting the platform, make sure
the platform is fully lowered.
When entering and exiting the
platform, face the platform and
maintain “three-points of contact”
with the machine with both hands
and one foot or both feet and one
hand.
• Both feet must be securely placed
on the platform floor at all times. It
is forbidden to sit, stand or climb
on the platform guardrails.
• Never use ladders, boxes, steps,
boards, or similar items on the
platform to extend your reach.
• Do not allow oil, sludge or other
slippery substances to remain on
work shoes and platform floor.
• Keep the platform floor
unobstructed.
