Understanding Risks of Machinery

Operating all machinery and machining equipment can be dangerous or

relatively safe depending on how it is installed and maintained, and the

operator's experience, common sense, risk awareness, working conditions, and

use of personal protective equipment (safety glasses, respirators, etc.).
The owner of this machinery or equipment is ultimately responsible for its safe

use. This responsibility includes proper installation in a safe environment,

personnel training and usage authorization, regular inspection and

maintenance, manual availability and comprehension, application of safety

devices, integrity of cutting tools or accessories, and the usage of approved

personal protective equipment by all operators and bystanders.
The manufacturer of this machinery or equipment will not be held

liable for injury or property damage from negligence, improper training,

machinemodifications, or misuse. Failure to read, understand, and follow the

manual and safety labels may result in serious personal injury, including

amputation, broken bones, electrocution, or death.
The signals used in this manual to identify hazard levels are defined

as follows:

Death or catastrophic harm WILL occur.

Moderate injury or fire MAY occur.

Machinery or property damage may occur.

Death or catastrophic harm COULD occur.
