Read and Follow all SAFETY MESSAGES!

On safety decals, this symbol and the signal words danger, warning, caution and notice draw your attention to important instructions regarding safety. They indicate potential hazards and levels of intensity.

	DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
	WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed.
	CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
	NOTICE alerts you to practices unrelated to personal injury, such as messages related to property damage.
IMPORTANT: To prevent serious injury or death to you or your family, it is essential that safety decals are clearly visible, in good condition, and applied to the appropriate equipment.
