Safety Issues

Auxiliary Equipment

Local Safety Standards

The user must make sure that he operates all auxiliary equipment in accordance with local codes, standards, 

regulations, or laws applicable to safety.

Working Area

CAUTION!

This symbol indicates a risk of potential minor personal injury and/or severe damage to 

the equipment, unless these instructions are followed carefully.

WARNING!

This symbol indicates a risk of potential serious personal injury, unless these

WARNING!

It is the responsibility of the user to make sure all local, county, state and national 

codes, regulations, rules and laws related to safety and safe operating conditions are 

met for each installation. The safety of any system incorporating the equipment is the 

responsibility of the assembler of the system.

WARNING!

Auxiliary equipment may have both manual and automatic modes of operation. As 

equipment can move suddenly and without warning, do not enter the work cell of this 

equipment during automatic operation, and do not enter the work envelope of this 

equipment during manual operation. If you do, serious injury can result.

WARNING!

Make sure that power to the auxiliary equipment is turned OFF and locked out before 

you perform maintenance procedures on the equipment.
