are potentially hazardous.
Whenever you consider that safety is compromised, press the

STOP
button, shutoff the air supply, bleed off high pressure from the system and
check system thoroughly before returning it to service.
Carefully read all relevant manuals and observe all Warnings and Cautions. As
discussed previously, the term Warning is used where a hazard may lead to
personal injury or death. The term Caution is used where a hazard may lead to
damage to equipment.
Ensure that the test set-up and the actual test you will be using on materials,
