Warnings in the operating manual
Warnings
Warnings serve as instructions and precautionary measures that must be followed and taken to avoid a
hazardous situation.
Classification of warnings
Warnings can be classified depending on the magnitude of a hazardous situation. The classification is based
on a probability assumption for an exposure to a hazardous situation and what could happen in such a case.
This manual differentiates between four warnings:
DANGER
“DANGER” warns against hazardous situations. Prevent
these hazardous situations. Otherwise, they will lead to
deaths or serious injuries.
WARNING

deaths or serious injuries.
CAUTION
“CAUTION”, in combination with the warning icon, warns
against hazardous situations. Prevent these hazardous
situations. Otherwise, they may lead to insignificant or
minor injuries.
ATTENTION

Avoid these situations. Otherwise, they may damage the
machine.
