5. Operator safety symbols
ELIET cannot anticipate every situation in which a risk or danger can occur. The warning symbols
in this operating manual and the labels on the machine are therefore not comprehensive. Al-
though minimal, a residual risk will always be present. If while operating the machine you apply a
working method, operation or technique that is not explicitly recommended by ELIET, make sure
that it does not represent a danger for bystanders.
A number of symbols (“For your information”, “Caution”, “Warning”) are used in this operating
manual to provide additional information and to highlight dangers.
5.1 For your information
For your information:
This symbol is used to draw your attention to specific information and/or ac-
tions, or to indicate where you can find additional information on the subject.
5.2 Caution
Caution:
This symbol suggests safe practices. The purpose is to prevent incorrect opera-
tion that could result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
5.3 Warning
Warning:
This symbol warns you about extreme danger that you must take notice of in
those specific circumstances. So for the sake of your own safety, remain alert at
all times.
These safety messages can only warn of, but not remove the danger. Both the use of common
sense and proper observation of the guidelines in this manual are essential to prevent accidents.
