SYMBOL

MEANING

The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your
attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols,
and their explanations, deserve your careful attention
and understanding. The safety warnings do not by
themselves eliminate any danger. The instructions or
warnings they give are not substitutes for proper
accident prevention measures.

NOTE: Advises you of information or instructions vital to

the operation or maintenance of the equipment.
