Legal notes
Warning note concept
This manual comprises notes which must be observed for your personal safety and for preventing material
damage. Notes for your personal safety are marked with a warning triangle, those only for preventing
material damage appear without a warning triangle. Depending on the level of hazard, the warning notes
are shown in reverse order of seriousness, as follows.
DANGER
means, that death or serious injury
will
result, if the appropriate preventive action is not taken.
WARNING
means that death or serious injury
may
result, if the appropriate preventive action is not taken.
CAUTION
means that a slight injury may result, if the appropriate preventive action is not taken.
NOTICE
means that material damage may result, if the appropriate preventive action is not taken.
Where there is more than one hazard level, the warning note for whichever hazard is the most serious is
always used. If in a warning note a warning triangle is used to warn of possible personal injury, a warning
of material damage may be added to the same warning note.
