Source text - English (a)Low pressure setting: The boom thrust force is weak during digging operations, and digging can be performed smoothly. This is used for general digging operations on normal ground or soft rock. (b)High pressure setting: The boom thrust force becomes more powerful, so it is easy to twist and swing or escape from soft ground. Note: Operations Using Swing Force: Do not use the swing force to compact soil or break objects. This is not only dangerous, but will also drastically reduce the life of the machine. Operations Using Travel Force: Do not dig the bucket into the ground and use the travel force to carry out excavation. This will damage the machine or work equipment. Prohibition of Operations Using Hydraulic Cylinders to Stroke Ends: If the work equipment is used with the cylinder rod operated to its stroke end, and given impact by some external force, the hydraulic cylinders will be damaged, causing personal injury. Avoid operations with the hydraulic cylinder fully retracted or fully extended. Operations Using Bucket Dropping Force: Do not use the dropping force of the machine for digging, or use the dropping force of the bucket as s pickaxe, breaker, or pile driver. This will drastically reduce the life of the machine. Operations Using Machine Dropping Force: Do not use the dropping force of the machine for digging. Digging Hard Rocky Ground: Do not attempt to directly excavate hard rocky ground with the work equipment.	Translation - French (a) Réglage basse pression : La force de poussée de la flèche est faible durant les opérations d'excavation. Ces opérations peuvent donc être réalisées en toute sécurité. On l'utilise pour les manœuvres générales de cavage sur terrain normal ou roche tendre. (b) Réglage haute pression : La force de poussée de la flèche devient plus puissante, il est donc aisé de pivoter ou de s'échapper d'un sol mou. Remarques : Utilisation de la force de rotation: N'utilisez pas la force de rotation pour compacter de la terre ou briser des objets. Cela n'est pas seulement dangereux, mais peut également réduire sensiblement la vie utile de l'engin. Manœuvres utilisant la force de déplacement : Évitez d'enfoncer le godet dans le sol et d'utiliser la force de déplacement pour le cavage. Cela pourrait endommager l'engin ou l'outil de travail. Manœuvres interdites avec les vérins hydrauliques en butée de fin de course : Si vous utilisez l'outil de travail alors que le vérin hydraulique est en butée de fin de course, et qu'il reçoive un coup assené par une force externe, les vérins hydrauliques seront endommagés et peuvent provoquer un accident corporel. Évitez toute manœuvre lorsque le vérin hydraulique est complètement rétracté ou déployé. Manœuvres utilisant la force d'inertie du godet : N'utilisez pas la force d'inertie de l'engin pour le cavage, ni la force d'inertie du godet comme pique, brise-roche ou pour compacter la terre. La vie utile de l'engin serait sensiblement réduite. Manœuvres utilisant la force d'inertie de l'engin : N'utilisez pas la force d'inertie de l'engin pour le cavage. Cavage en terrain dur et rocailleux : N'essayez pas de creuser directement avec l'outil de travail, en terrain rocailleux.

	X Why did the menu change? The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to. The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability. More information on the changes... Where is the "My ProZ.com" menu? Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together. I cannot find something If you are having trouble finding something with the new menu, please submit a support request.
