General Safety
• Never allow children or untrained people to operate or service the machine. Local
regulations may restrict the age of the operator. The owner is responsible for training all
operators and mechanics.
• Become familiar with the safe operation of the equipment, operator controls, and safety
signs.
• Shut off the machine, remove the key (if equipped), and wait for all movement to stop
before you leave the operator’s position. Allow the machine to cool before adjusting,
servicing, cleaning, or storing it.
• Know how to stop the machine and shut off the machine quickly.
• Check that operator-presence controls, safety switches, and safety protective devices
are attached and functioning properly. Do not operate the machine unless they are
functioning properly.
• Inspect the area where you will use the machine and remove all objects that the machine
could throw.
Performing Daily Maintenance
Before starting the machine each day, perform the Each Use/Daily procedures listed in the
