RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION

•
This is the SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.
• When you see this symbol on your machine or in this
manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
• Follow recommended precautions and safe operating
practices.

UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS

•
On machine safety signs, signal words designating the
degree or level of hazard - DANGER, WARNING, or
CAUTION - are used with the safety alert symbol.
• DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious in-
jury.
• WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
• CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury.
• DANGER or WARNING safety signs are located
near specific hazards. General precautions are listed
on CAUTION safety signs.
•
CAUTION also calls attention to safety messages in this
manual.
•
To avoid confusing machine protection with personal
safety messages, a signal word IMPORTANT indicates
a situation which, if not avoided, could result in damage
to the machine.
•
NOTE indicates an additional explanation for an
element of information.
