2BASIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Every Baumüller plug-in module we have constructed and made according to strict safety
specifications. Nevertheless the work with the plug-in module can be dangerous.
In this chapter we described hazards, that can arise when working with the Baumüller
plu
g-in module. Hazards we point up with symbols (icons). All symbols which are used in
this documentation we will list and explain.
How you can protect yourself against the singl
e hazards in the concrete case, we will not
explain in this chapter. In this chapter we will only give general safety precautions. The
concrete safety precautions we will always give directly after the note to the hazard.
2.1 Hazard information and commandments
Hazard information will show you the dangers, that can lead to injuries or even to death.
