Reading the instruction
Manual and following it should seem to be in-
convenient and superfluous as it is not
enough to hear from others and to realize that a
machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now
everything should work by itself. The person in
question would not only harm himself but also
make the mistake of blaming the machine for pos-
sible failures instead of himself. In order to en-
sure success one should enter the mind of a thing,
make himself familiar with every part of the ma-
chine and get acquainted with how it's handled.
Only in this way could you be satisfied both with
the machine and with yourself. This goal is the
purpose of this instruction manual.

the highlighted signal word. The signal word (danger, warning, cau-
tion) describes the severity of the risk, and carries the following mean-
ing:
DANGER
Indicates an immediate high risk which will result in death or
serious physical injury (loss of body parts or long term damage)
if not avoided.
If the instructions are not followed, then this will result in imme-
diate death or serious physical injury.
WARNING
Indicates a medium risk, which could result in death or (serious)
physical injury if not avoided.
If the instructions are not followed, then this may result in death
or serious physical injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a low risk which could cause minor or medium level
physical injury or damage to property if not avoided.
IMPORTANT

2.13 Warning symbols and other signs on the machine
Always keep all the warning symbols on the machine clean and in a
legible state. Replace illegible warning symbols. You can obtain the
warning symbols from your dealer using the order number
(e.g. MD 078).
Warning symbols - structure
Warning symbols indicate danger areas on the machine and warn
against residual dangers. At these points, there are permanent or
unexpected dangers.
A warning symbol consists of two fields:
Field 1
is a symbol describing the danger, surrounded by triangular safety
symbol.
Field 2
is a symbol showing how to avoid the danger.
Warning symbols - explanation
The column Order number and explanation provides an explanation
of the neighbouring warning symbol. The description of the warning
symbols is always the same and specifies, in the following order:
1. A description of the danger.
For example: risk of cutting
2. The consequence of non-compliance with the risk avoidance
instructions.
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.
