Safety Advisories

Waters instruments display hazard symbols designed to alert you to the
hidden dangers of operating and maintaining the instruments. Their
corresponding user guides also include the hazard symbols, with
accompanying text statements describing the hazards and telling you
how to avoid them. This appendix presents all the safety symbols and
statements that apply to the entire line of Waters products.
