SAFETY
In this manual and on the safety signs placed on the unit, the words “DANGER,” “WARNING,”
“CAUTION,” and “IMPORTANT” are used to indicate the following:
DANGER
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 and typically for machine
components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
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.
IMPORTANT!
Is used for informational purposes in areas which may involve
damage or deterioration to equipment but generally would not
involve the potential for personal injury.
