Even if you are thoroughly familiar with operating such equipment, it is still advisable to read

5. Operator safety warnings
ELIET cannot anticipate every situation in which a risk or danger can occur. The warnings in this
operating manual and the labels on the machine are therefore not comprehensive. Even though
this will be minimal, a residual risk will always be present. If you apply a working method, opera-
tion or technique as the operator of the machine that is not explicitly recommended by ELIET,
ensure in any case that this will not present a danger for bystanders.
A number of symbols (“For your information”, “Caution”, “Warning”) are used in this operating
manual to provide additional information and to highlight dangers..
5.1 For your information
For your information
This symbol is used to draw your attention to specific information and/or ac-
tions, or to indicate where you can find additional information relating to the
subject.
5.2 Caution
Caution:
This notice identifies safe practices in order to prevent incorrect operation that
may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
5.3 Warning
Warning:
This notice warns you about extreme danger that you must be aware of in these
specific circumstances.
So remain alert, in order to ensure your own safety.
These safety messages can only warn and not remove the danger.
Using common sense and observing the guidelines contained in this manual are essential to
prevent accidents.
