2. Safety Nomenclature
2.1 General
Safety of the user and bystanders is one of the main
concerns in designing and developing a new product.
Designers and manufacturers build in as many safety
features as possible. However, every year many
accidents occur which could have been avoided by a
few seconds of thought and a more careful approach
to handling the appliance.
Most accidents 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. As you assemble,
use, or maintain the appliance, you must be alert to
potential hazards. You should also have the necessary
training, skills, and tools to perform any assembly or
maintenance procedures.
Improper operation and maintenance of this appliance
could result in a dangerous situation that could cause
injury or death.
