Safety Instructions

Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but also the 
people around you. Make these practices a working part of your safety program. Be certain that 
everyone operating this equipment is familiar with the recommended operating and maintenance 
procedures and follows all the safety precautions. Most accidents can be prevented. Do not risk 
injury or death by ignoring good safety practices.

The alert symbol is used throughout this manual. It indicates attention is required and identifies 
hazards. Follow the recommended precautions.

The safety alert symbol means… 
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED! 

CAUTION

The caution symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation 
that, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It 
may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

WARNING

The Warning Symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation 
that, 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.

DANGER

The Danger Symbol indicates an imminently hazardous situation 
that, if not avoided will result in death or serious injury. This 
signal word is to be limited to the most extreme situations, 
typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, 
cannot be guarded.
