work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause personal injury
and/or property damage if contacted.
PERSONAL SAFETY
 Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the Screed. Do not
use the Screed while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
 Use ANSI Z87.1-approved safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields, or when needed, a
face shield. Use a dust mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat,
gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all
persons in the work area.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
 Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before starting the Screed. A wrench or key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the Screed may cause personal injury.
 No smoking, matches, or open flames around machine. Fuel is flammable.
 Do not touch hot surfaces.
 Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide. This is a poison you cannot see or smell. NEVER use
