Recognize Safety Information; Understand Signal Words - Hitachi ZX27U-2 Operator's Manual

RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION

•
These are the SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS.
• When you see these symbols on your machine or in
this manual, be alert to the potential for personal in-
jury.
• 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.
• Some safety signs don't use any of the designated
signal words above after the safety alert symbol are
occasionally used on this machine.
•
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.
