SAFETY SYMBOLS
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible
dangers. The safety symbols and the explanations with them deserve
your careful attention and understanding. The symbol warnings do not, by
themselves, eliminate any danger. The instructions and warnings they give
are no substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.

manual, including all safety alert symbols such as “DANGER,” ”WARNING,”
