Safety Terminology of Labels
In addition to the nameplate, KVAL machines may have other warning labels or decals that pro-
vide safety information to operators. Safety labels should be clearly visible to the operator and
must be replaced if missing, damaged, or illegible.
There are three types of warning labels or decals:
• DANGER means if the danger is not avoided, it will cause death or serious injury.
• WARNING means if the warning is not heeded, it can cause death or serious
injury.
• CAUTION means if the precaution is not taken, it may cause minor or moderate
injury.
