Important Safety Information
Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe
basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous
situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards, including human factors
that can affect safety. This person shall also have the necessary training, skills and tools to perform these
functions properly.
Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this manual and on the product. If these hazard warnings
are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. The hazards are identified by
the “Safety Alert Symbol” followed by a “Signal Word” such as “DANGER”, “WARNING” or “CAUTION”.
