CHAPTER 2
SAFETY - ACCIDENT PREVENTION
The following symbols indicate potentially dangerous
situations. Always read carefully this information and take
the necessary precautions to protect people and objects.
Cooperation between the Operator and the machine is
critical. No accident prevention program is effective
without the total cooperation of the person responsible for
the machine operation. Most of the accidents that may
occur in a factory, while working or transferring, are
caused by the failure to comply with the simplest prudence
rules. A careful and prudent user is the best guarantee
against accidents and is the prerequisite to carry out the
prevention program.
