SAFETY
The following symbols indicate potentially dangerous 
situations. Always read this information carefully and take

No accident prevention program is effective without the 
total cooperation of the person responsible for the 
machine operation. Most of the accidents that may occur 
in a factory, while working or moving around, are caused 
by failure to comply with the simplest rules for exercising 
prudence. A careful and prudent Operator is the best 
guarantee against accidents and is essential for 
successful completion of any prevention program.
