SYMBOLS
When using the machine, operators could have to face
some situations requiring special care and particular
knowledge.
When these situations involve the safety of operators
or bystanders, the machine efficiency and proper
utilisation, this handbook stresses these specific
instructions by means of
SPECIAL SYMBOLS
.
There are six special (or safety) symbols in this manual,
always combined with keywords that class the situations
according to their danger degree.
The symbols are always followed by a text explaining
the situation taken into account, the attention to be
paid to such situation, the method and the behaviour to
be adopted. When necessary, it stresses prohibitions
or supplies instructions to prevent dangers.
Sometimes, it can be followed by illustrations.
We list below the special (or safety) symbols according
to the relative seriousness of the hazard situation:
DANGER

own as well as the others’ safety and that can result
in serious or lethal injury.
