Safety guidelines
This Manual contains information which you should carefully observe to ensure your own personal safety and the
prevention of material damage. Notices which are relevant to your own personal safety are highlighted by a safety
alert symbol; notices which are relevant only to equipment and property damage have no safety alert symbol. The
warnings appear in decreasing order of risk as given below.
Danger
"Danger" indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
Alarm
"Warning" indicates that death or severe personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
Caution
"Caution" with a warning triangle indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not
taken.
Caution
"Caution" without a warning triangle indicates that material damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
Notice
"Important" indicates that an unwanted result or situation can result if the appropriate advice is not taken into
account.
If several hazards of different degrees occur, the hazard with the highest degree must always be given priority. A
warning notice accompanied by a safety alert symbol indicating a risk of bodily injury can also indicate a risk of
property damage.
