The purpose of safety symbols is to attract
your attention to possible dangers. The
safety symbols, and their explanations,
deserve your careful attention and
understanding. The safety warnings do not
by themselves eliminate any danger. The
instructions or warnings they give are not
substitutes for proper accident prevention
measures.
DANGER indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
NOTICE indicates information considered
important, but not hazard-related (e.g.,
messages relating to property damage).
