Important Safety Information

Look for Safety Symbol

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is
a potential hazard to personal safety involved and
extra safety precaution must be taken. When you
see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the
message that follows it. In addition to design and
configuration of equipment, hazard control and
accident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence and proper train­ing of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of
equipment.

Be Aware of Signal Words

Signal words designate a degree or level of haz­ard seriousness.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous sit­uation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury. This signal word is limited to the
most extreme situations, typically for machine
components that, for functional purposes, cannot
be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situ­ation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury, and includes hazards that are ex­posed when guards are removed. It may also be
used to alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situ­ation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
