WARNING
A POTENTIAL hazard that COULD result in severe personal injury or DEATH, if warn- ing is ignored and proper safety precau- tions are not taken.
CAUTION
Possible hazards or unsafe practices that MAY result in MODERATE personal injury or property damage, or machine damage, if warning is ignored and proper safety pre- cautions are not taken.
IMPORTANT: Identifies mechanical information de- manding special attention, since it deals with the pos- sibility of damaging a part or parts of the machine.
NOTE: Identifies information worthy of special at- tention.
