SAFETY FIRST!
Before placing this equipment in operation, certain basic rules of safety should be observed. It should
be noted that no safety rules and no amount of safety equipment will make operating this equipment
safe, unless the operator enforces the rules and proper uses of the equipment.
MACHINE OPERATION:
1. Only responsible persons, trained to do so, should operate this equipment.
2. Any person operating this equipment should be thoroughly familiar with the manufacturer's
recommended operating instructions.
