To avoid accidents, read, understand and follow all precautions and warnings in this manual and on the machine before perform- ing operation and maintenance. To identify hazards on the machine pictorial decals are used (see “POSITION FOR ATTACHING SAFETY LABELS” on page 49). RED WARNING TRIANGLE - This is used on safety labels where there is a high probability of serious injury or death if the hazard is not avoided. These safety messages or labels usually describe precautions that must be taken to avoid the hazard. Fail- ure to avoid this hazard may also result in serious damage to the machine. ORANGE WARNING TRIANGLE - This is used on safety labels where there is a potentially dangerous situation which could result in serious injury or death if the hazard is not avoided. These safety messages or labels usually describe precautions that must be taken to avoid the hazard. Failure to avoid this haz- ard may also result in serious damage of the machine YELLOW SAFETY TRIANGLE - This is used on safety labels for hazards which could result in minor or moderate injury if the hazard is not avoided. This word might also be used for a haz- ard where the only result could be damage to the machine.
