Safety Precautions
Specific Safety Instructions and
Applied Symbols
In the following operation manual, we give
concrete safety information to make the
user aware of the unavoidable residual risk
when operating the machine. These
residual risks include danger for:
• Persons
• Product and machine
• Environment
The main purpose of the symbols used in
this operation manual is to draw attention to
the safety precautions!
This is not a symbol for safety
precautions, it is applied for
highlighting paragraphs
containing special information,
work cycles, methods and the
utilisation of aids etc..
This symbol is always used,
where operations deviating
from the description and not
carried out in a workmanlike
fashion could cause danger to
the machine, material or
environment.
This symbol is always used,
when carelessness could lead
to personal damage or injury.
The most important aim of the safety
precautions is to avoid personal damage.
The symbol alone cannot replace the text
of the safety precautions. Always make
sure to read the complete text also!
