Safety
Instruction of safety and warning signs
Understand the warning remarks on safety warning scutcheon.
On safety sign of this manual and machine, there are “DANGER”, “WARNING” and “CAUTION”
separately used along with “ATTENTION ON SAFETY”, indicating 3 levels of danger due to dangerous or
unsafe operation. Whenever seeing the triangle sign of safety warning and whatever warning remark is
followed, you must read carefully the warning content.
Danger—— indicating the case with direct danger. Without avoidance, it will lead to the
death or serious injury. It can also warn the explosion or damage on
equipment due to improper operation or treatment.
Warning —— indicating the latent danger. Without avoidance, it will lead to the bad
injury or death. It can also warn and prevent the highly unsafe operation
from happening.
Caution—— indicating the latent danger. Without avoidance, it will lead to the slight or
medium-level injury. It can also be used to remind the prevention from
ordinary operating factors when working.
Sometimes some safety signs are also used on this machine; they are not followed with above signal
vocabulary.
In this book, “CAUTION” is used for the attention to safety indication.
Important——to avoid of the confusion between the indication of machine protection and person
safety, “IMPORTANT”-this signal vocabulary, is used to show the case probably leading to the
damage on machine.
“Attention”——additional introduction on certain information
Since it is impossible to list all the latent dangers in all working conditions in advance, the safety must be
ensured for you and the others and the damage are avoided of if the operation is not recommended. Without
approval from our company, any modification made by operator will lead to the danger. So before correcting,
you should inquire our company or empowered franchiser. Otherwise, our company will not be responsible
for any bad result from unapproved renovation.
Our company will not be responsible for any equipment damage or unsafe running due to the following
reasons:
Carrying out modification on machine without any approval
The operation does not fit the normal mode
The equipment failure due to non-original product or unauthorized repair by company or individual
Beyond the usage range for the equipment
Our company will not compensate for any equipment damage or unsafe running due to the following reasons:
Improper operation
Insufficient maintenance
Using the fuel or lubricant beyond the recommendation
For the continuous improvement of product design and the difference of the customer’s demand on
This is the sign of “ATTENTION ON SAFETY”. When you notice
this warning ，you should read carefully the following
information and abide by it and inform other operators.
