Safety Precautions

- The signal word WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

- The signal word CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, may result in damage on machines. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.

- Read and understand all the safety instructions with signal word such as WARNING

and CAUTION. If safety instructions are ignored, personal injury may result.

- Horizon International Inc. cannot anticipate every possible situation that might involve

a potential hazard. The instructions in this manual and warning labels on the machine are
therefore not all inclusive.

- All equipment shall be locked out or tagged out to protect against accidental or inad-

vertent operation when such operation could cause injury to personnel. Do not attempt to
operate any switch, valve, or other energy isolating device when it is locked or tagged out.

- Do not operate the machines when any covers are removed.

- Some of the drawings in this manual show the machine uncovered to help explain the

detail or inside of machine.
