Recognize Safety Information; Understand Signal Words - Hitachi ZW 100-G Workshop Manual

RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION

•
These are the SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS.
•
When you see these symbols on your machine or
in operator`s manual, be alert to the potential for
personal injury.
•
Follow recommended precautions and safe oper-
ating practices.

UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS

•
On machine safety signs, signal words designating
the degree or level of hazard - DANGER, WARNING,
or CAUTION - are used with the safety alert symbol.
•
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
•
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.
•
DANGER or WARNING safety signs are located
near specific hazards. General precautions are
listed on CAUTION safety signs.
•
Some safety signs don't use any of the desig-
nated signal words above after the safety alert
symbol are occasionally used on this machine.
•
To avoid confusing machine protection with per-
sonal safety messages, a signal word IMPOR-
TANT indicates a situation which, if not avoided,
could result in damage to the machine.
•
NOTE indicates an additional explanation for
an element of information.
