Safety Indicator Signal Word
The following signal words and colors are used throughout this document to
indicate safety hazards. Pay careful attention when you see them. The level of
severity differs for each signal word and color.

should not do. The graphics are called safety symbols and are defined in the
section, but more specific text is provided every time a
graphic is used throughout the manual. Everyone near the machine must be
trained on how to read these safety indicators.
Failure to comply with the instructions accompanying each signal word may
result in property damage, personal injury, or even death. Personnel must
follow all safety procedures and practices to ensure the safest possible
