SYMBOLS
When using the machine, operators could have to face
some situations requiring special care and particular
knowledge.
When these situations involve the safety of operators
or bystanders, the machine efficiency and proper
utilisation, this handbook stresses these specific
instructions by means of
SPECIAL SYMBOLS
.
There are seven special (or safety) symbols in this
manual, always combined with keywords that class the
situations according to their danger degree.
The symbols are always followed by a text explaining
the situation taken into account, the attention to be
paid to such situation, the method and the behaviour to
be adopted. When necessary, it stresses prohibitions
or supplies instructions to prevent dangers.
Sometimes, it can be followed by illustrations.
We list below the special (or safety) symbols according
to the relative degree of a hazard:
Safety Alert symbol: when you see this symbol, be
alert to the possibility of personal injury. Strictly
obey all the safety messages accompanying this
symbol to avoid the risk of serious injury or death.
DANGER
Red: used to indicate an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
DANGER
Orange: used to indicate a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION
Yellow with safety alert symbol: used to indicate a
potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
ATTENTION
Yellow without safety alert symbol: used to indicate
a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in damage to the machine or
the systems.
PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT
Green: used to draw the attention to important
information on environment protection.

information.
