Be ware of soft, uneven or sloping ground and of landslips,
sideways loads and other similar risks. If the machine is
standing on sloping ground, the centre of gravity is displaced
and, when lifting, the machine may take up a position where it
will be close to tipping over.
Make sure that the ground is firm and safe. Unstable ground,
for example loose sand or soft earth, may make the work
unsafe, if loads, close to the maximum values in the loading
table (page
373 ), are taken.
Do not make fast slewing movements with a suspended load.
Bear the centrifugal force in mind.

Boards, planks, reinforcing irons or similar should have the
sling arranged so that they cannot fall out.
When lifting girders, a pair of girder scissors should preferably
be used.
Place for example cut-up air hoses between the sling and sharp
edges.
The sling should be well tightened.
