SAFETY
The following symbols indicate potentially dangerous
situations. Always read this information carefully and take
all necessary precautions to safeguard people and
property.
No accident prevention program is effective without the
total cooperation of the person responsible for the
machine operation. Most of the accidents that may occur
in a factory, while working or moving around, are caused
by failure to comply with the simplest rules for exercising
prudence. A careful and prudent Operator is the best
guarantee against accidents and is essential for
successful completion of any prevention program.
SYMBOLS
DANGER!
It indicates a dangerous situation with risk
of death for the Operator.
WARNING!
