The purpose of safety rules is to attract your attention to
possible dangers. The safety symbols and the explanations with
them, require your careful attention and understanding. The
safety warnings do not by themselves eliminate any danger.
The instruction or warnings they give are not substitutes for
proper accident prevention measures.
