5. Safety symbols
ELIET cannot anticipate every situation in which a risk or danger can occur. As such, the war-
nings in this operating manual and the labels on the machine are not comprehensive. Although
minimal, some risk will always remain. If you apply a working method, operation or technique as
the operator of the machine that is not explicitly recommended by ELIET, ensure in any case that
this will not present a danger for third parties.
This manual uses certain symbols ("For your information", "Caution", "Warning") to provide ad-
ditional information and highlight dangers.
5.1. For your information
For your information: This symbol is used to draw your attention to specific in-
formation and/or actions, or it is used to indicate where you can find additional
information relating to the topic.
5.2. Caution
Caution: This symbol suggests safe practices. The purpose is to prevent incor-
rect operation that could result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
5.3. Warning
Warning: This notice warns you of any extreme dangers which you need to take
into account in these specific circumstances. So for the sake of your own safety,
remain alert at all times.
These safety messages can only warn of dangers, but not prevent them. Using common sense
and observing the guidelines contained in this manual are essential to prevent accidents.
