GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to
possible dangers. The safety symbols and the explanations
with them deserve your careful attention and understanding.
The symbol warnings DO NOT, by themselves, eliminate
any danger. The instructions and warnings they give are no
substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
