SAFETY RULES
Safety Signals
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacturing of our products. Throughout this
manual and on the machine potential hazards are
identified by the “Safety Alert Symbol” followed by
a “Signal Word” which indicates the degree of
hazard. The three degrees of hazard are “Dan-
ger”,” Warning”, and “Caution”
“Danger” indicates an imminently hazardous situ-
ation that, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
“Warning” indicates a potentially hazardous situa-
tion that, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury, and includes hazards that are
exposed when guards are removed.
“Caution” indicates a potentially hazardous situa-
tion that, if not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.
