2.5 Safety & Operational Decals
Multicut machines are equipped with safety and operational decals warning about residual risks present on the
machines that were not possible to eliminate. Some give guidance in how to best operate and care for the
machine. Safety decals are yellow in colour and placed in strategic positions around each of the respective
dangers. Operational decals are generally white in colour and are placed in locations close to the respective item
required to be maintained. Section 2.5.1 specifies the meaning of each of the symbols contained in the decals
and their particular positioning on the machine is stated in Section 2.5.2. The operator must memorise the
meaning of these decals.
All decals should be kept clean and replaced immediately if they are fully/partially detached or damaged by
purchasing them through a local Spearhead dealer.
