Safety; Recognize Safety Information; Understand Signal Words - Hitachi ZW180 Operator's Manual

RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION

• These are the SAFETY ALERT SYMBOLS.
• When you see these symbols on your machine or in this
manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
• Follow recommended precautions and safe operating
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 in-
jury.
• 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 spe-
cific hazards. General precautions are listed on CAUTION
safety signs.
• Some safety signs do not use any of the designated signal
words above after the safety alert symbol are occasionally
used on this machine.
• To avoid confusing machine protection with personal safety
messages, a signal word IMPORTANT indicates a situation
which, if not avoided, could result in damage to the ma-
chine.
NOTE indicates an additional explanation for an element
•
of information.
