Personal injury or death can result from sudden work tool movement. Sudden movement of the work tool can cause injury to persons near the work tool. To prevent injury or death, make sure that the area around the work tool is clear of personnel and obstructions before operating the work tool. |
Personal injury or death can result from improperly checking for a leak. Always use a board or cardboard when checking for a leak. Escaping air or fluid under pressure, even a pin-hole size leak, can penetrate body tissue causing serious injury, and possible death. If fluid is injected into your skin, it must be treated immediately by a doctor familiar with this type of injury. |
