limited to the most extreme situations typically for machine
components which, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING –

could
result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that
are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to
alert against unsafe practices.
CAUTION –
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
may
result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to

machine.
