safety precaution must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that
follows it. In addition to design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control, and accident prevention
are dependent upon the awareness, concern,
prudence, and proper training of personnel involved
in the operation, transport, maintenance, and storage
of equipment.

extreme situations, typically for
machine components that, for

situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury, and

when guards are removed. It may also
be used to alert against unsafe
