SAFETY SYMBOLS
This section of the manual contains important information of the safe use of your MEC
Scissors. Failure to read, understand, and follow all safety rules, warnings, and instructions
will unnecessarily expose you and others to dangerous situations. For your safety and the
safety of those around you, you must operate your machine as instructed in this manual.
You, the operator, are the single most important factor for safety when using any piece of
equipment. Learn to operate your machine in a safe manner.
To help you recognize important safety information, we have identified warnings and in-
structions that directly impact on safety with the following signals:
“DANGER” INDICATES AN IMMINENTLY HAZARDOUS
SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEATH
OR SERIOUS INJURY. THIS SIGNAL WORD IS LIMITED TO THE
MOST EXTREME SITUATIONS.
“WARNING” INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
“CAUTION” indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used
to alert against unsafe practices. “CAUTION” is used for property-
damage only accidents.
