FOREWORD
SAFETY INFORMATION
q Safety labels
Safety labels are affixed to the machine to inform the operator or maintenance worker on the spot when carrying
out operation or maintenance of the machine that may involve hazard.
This machine uses "Safety labels using pictograms" to indicate safety procedures.
Safety labels using pictogram
Safety pictograms use a picture to express a level of
hazardous condition equivalent to the signal word. These
safety pictograms use pictures in order to let the operator or
maintenance worker understand the level and type of
hazardous condition at all times.
Safety pictograms show the type of hazardous condition at the
top or left side, and the method of avoiding the hazardous
condition at the bottom or right side. In addition, the type of
hazardous condition is displayed inside a triangle and the
method of avoiding the hazardous condition is shown inside a
circle.
Komatsu cannot predict every circumstance that might involve a potential hazard in operation and maintenance.
Therefore, the safety messages in this manual and on the machine may not include all possible safety
precautions.
If any procedures or actions not specifically recommended or allowed in this manual are used, it is your
responsibility to take the necessary steps to ensure safety.
In no event should you engage in prohibited uses or actions described in this manual.

available information of your machine or for questions regarding information in this manual.
