Warning Notice Concept 
This  manual  contains  notices  that  you  must  observe  in  the 
interests  of  your  own  personal  safety  and  in  order  to  avoid 
damage to property. Read the manual  thoroughly before use of 
equipment and keep manual for further  reference!  The  notices 
relating  to your  personal  safety are  highlighted with  a  warning 
triangle. Those relating to the prevention of damage to property 
only  do  not  have  a  warning  triangle.  The  warning  notices  are 
presented  in  decreasing  order  of  severity  based  on  the  hazard 
level involved. 
Death or serious personal injury will occur if the corresponding 
precautionary measure is not taken. 
Death or serious personal injury will occur if the corresponding 
precautionary measure is not taken. 
Minor  personal  injury  can  occur  if  the  corresponding 
precautionary measure is not taken. 
Provision of additional important information. 
 
In cases where two or more hazard levels apply, it is always only 
the warning notice for the most severe level which is used alone. 
A warning notice primarily involves possible personal injury. But 
it also can mean damage to property at the same time.
