Safety

IMPORTANT!: Read the Safety Section starting on page 1-2 
before installing or using this equipment, or attempting any 
adjustment or repair. This safety triangle is used in the manual to 
indicate important information. Read this information carefully to 

avoid the risk of personal injury, injury to others, or damage to the equipment.

Warning Labels

Various colored safety labels are attached to the AutoCam equipment to alert you to 
hazardous situations. The labels and their meaning are described below.

DANGER (with a red background) indicates an imminently 

hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING (with an orange background) indicates a poten-

tially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious 
injury.

CAUTION (with a yellow background) indicates a potentially 

hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate 
injury.

CAUTION (with a yellow background, but without the Safety 

Alert symbol) indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, 
may result in property damage.
