This signal warns the workers that the described task may involve 

exposure to residual risks with harmful effects on health and it may result 

in very serious accidents, should them fail to comply with the procedures 

and safety regulations herein described.

 

SYMBOL 

CAUTION 

This signal warns the workers that the described task may damage the partly 

completed machine and its components; failing to comply with the safety rules 

may involve consequent risks for the operator and/or the environment.

It provides information on the task in progress, when it needs to be highlighted 

due to its great technical significance.

The  hydromechanic  coupling  bearing  this  mark  has  been  manufactured 

according to the ATEX standards in compliance with the ATEX Directive 2014/34 

EU.

In combination with the text, they point out the type of residual risk that the task 

in progress may involve:

Danger of ignition and/or zones with explosive atmosphere

General hazard

Heated areas, danger of burns

Moving components

Danger of explosion

Fire danger

Dangerous voltage and risk of electric shock

Risk of slippery floor and falling

In combination with the text, they point out the type of prohibition that shall be 

observed during the described activity:

Do not touch and keep away

Do not remove protections and guards, when machine is operating

Do not lubricate or interfere with moving parts.
