SAFETY INFOR ATION
Safety
labels
Safety labels are affixed to the machine to inform the operator or maintenance worker on the spot when carrying out
operation or maintenance of the machine that may involve hazard.
This machine uses "Safety labels using words" and "Safety labels using pictograms" to indicate safety procedures.
Example
of
safety
label
using
words
Safety
labels
using
pictogram
Safety pictograms use apicture to express alevel of hazardous
condition equivalent to the signal word. These safety pictograms
use pictures in order to let the operator or maintenance worker
understand the level and type of hazardous condition at all times.
Safety pictograms show the type of hazardous condition at the top
or left side, and the method of avoiding the hazardous condition at
the bottom or right side. In addition, the type of hazardous condition
is displayed inside atriangle and the method of avoiding the
hazardous condition is shown inside acircle.
Komatsu cannot predict every circumstance that might involve apotential hazard in operation and maintenance.
Therefore, the safety messages in this manual and on the machine may not include all possible safety precautions.
If any procedures or actions not specifically recommended or allowed in this manual are used, it is your responsibility
to take the necessary steps to ensure safety.
