These operations are prohibited during the use of a cone crusher!

Using a cone crusher safely requires adherence to strict safety protocols. Operations that are prohibited during the use of a cone crusher typically include any actions that could lead to accidents, equipment damage, or personal injury. Here are some common operations that are prohibited:

1. **Entry into the Crusher**:

- It is dangerous to enter the crusher area while the machine is operational. This includes entering the gyratory area or the area below the fixed or moving cones.

2. **Adjusting or Changing Components**:

- Any adjustment or changing of components such as the mantle, bowl liner, or setting should only be done when the crusher is fully stopped and all power sources are disconnected.

3. **Removing Obstructions**:

- If there is an obstruction that needs to be removed, the crusher must be fully stopped, and all safety procedures must be followed before attempting to clear the jam. Never reach into the machine to clear an obstruction while it is moving.

4. **Walking on the Machine**:

- Walking on top of the cone crusher or any other part of the machine is highly dangerous and strictly prohibited.

5. **Lubrication or Maintenance**:

- Lubrication or any maintenance work should only be performed when the crusher is stopped and properly secured.

6. **Use of Mobile Phones or Electronic Devices**:

- Using mobile phones or other electronic devices near the crusher can be dangerous due to the potential for interference with the machine's operation or the operator's focus.

7. **Mistreatment of Equipment**:

- Abusing the equipment through incorrect operation or exceeding the recommended operating parameters is prohibited.

8. **Fueling or Changing Fluids**:

- Fueling or changing fluids should only be done in a safe manner, with the equipment turned off and cooled down if necessary.

9. **Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)**:

- Not wearing the required PPE, such as safety glasses, ear protection, hard hats, and safety vests, when operating or maintaining the cone crusher is a safety violation.

10. **Improper Training**:

- Operating a cone crusher without proper training or authorization is a significant safety risk.

Always refer to the manufacturer's operating manual for specific safety guidelines and procedures. Regular safety training and equipment inspection are essential to ensure safe operation of cone crushers and other mining equipment.
