 The term IMPORTANT emphasizes areas where equipment 
damage could result, or provides additional information to make a 
step or procedure easier to understand.  Disregarding information 
marked IMPORTANT would not be likely to cause personal 
injury. 

 

NOTE:  If you believe that your equipment has a defect which could 

cause injury, you should immediately discontinue its use and 
inform the manufacturer at our address listed in this manual. 

 

The principle factors which can result in injury are: 

 

• 

Failure to follow proper operating and clean-out 
procedures, i.e. lockout/tagout.

 

•  Failure to maintain a clean and safe working environment. 

Safety is important.  Owners, operators, and maintenance 
personnel must realize that every day, safety is a vital aspect of 
their jobs. 

 

If your main concern is loss of productivity, remember this: 
Production is always affected in a negative way following an 
accident.  The following are some of the reasons, which can affect 
your production: 

 

•  Loss of a skilled operator (temporarily or permanently) 

•  Breakdown of shop morale 
•  Costly damage to equipment 

•  Down-time 

An effective safety program is responsible and economically 
sound. 

Organize a safety committee or group, and hold regular meetings.  
Promote this group from the management level.  Through this 
group, the safety program can be continually reviewed, 
maintained, and improved.  Keep minutes or a record of the 
meetings.
