Reading the instruction
manual and to adhere to it should not appear to
be inconvenient and superfluous as it is not
enough to hear from others and to realise that a
machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now
everything would work by itself. The person con-
cerned would not only harm himself but also
make the mistake of blaming the machine for the
reason of a possible failure instead of himself. In
order to ensure a good success one should go into
the mind of a thing or make himself familiar with
every part of the machine and to get acquainte
d
with its handling. Only this way, you would be
satisfied both with the machine as also with
yourself. To achieve this is the purpose of this in-
struction manual.

General safety instructions
18 Cenius 4002-2T BAG0100.2 04.13
Warning pictograms - structure
Warning pictograms indicate danger areas on the machine and warn
of residual dangers. Permanent or unexpected dangers exist in these
areas.
A warning pictogram consists of two fields:
Field 1
is a pictogram describing the danger, surrounded by triangular safety
symbol.
Field 2
is a pictogram showing how to avoid the danger.
Warning pictograms - explanation
The column Order number and explanation provides an explanation
of the neighbouring warning pictogram. The description of the warning
pictograms is always the same and specifies, in the following order:
1. A description of the danger.
For example: danger of cutting!
2. The consequence of nonobservance of the risk-avoidance in-
structions.
For example: causes serious injuries to fingers or hands.
3. Risk-avoidance instructions.
For example: only touch machine parts when they have come to
a complete standstill.
