The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your atten-
tion to possible dangers. The safety symbols, and their
explanations, deserve your careful attention and under-
standing. The safety warnings do not by themselves
eliminate any danger. The instructions or warnings they
give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention
measures.
