Flying metal chip hits worker, breaking tooth.
A worker hit a track shoe hard with a sledgehammer, because the track tension-adjusting cylinder would not contract. A metal shard chipped off from the hammer went flying and hit the worker's cheek. He had one of his teeth broken as a result.



Corrective Action
1. Do not strike hard objects with a hammer. When striking, use a seat of copper, brass or wood.
2. Gain correct knowledge on how to contract a track link-adjusting cylinder. If the cylinder will not contract even after removing grease, let the machine travel back and forth, or place a wooden block under the track shoe assembly.
