5. Operator safety warnings

ELIET cannot anticipate every situation in which a risk or danger can occur. The warning symbols

in this operating manual and the labels on the machine are therefore not comprehensive. Al-

though minimal, a residual risk will always be present. If while operating the machine you apply a

working method, operation or technique that is not explicitly recommended by ELIET, make sure

that it does not represent 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 symbol suggests safe practices. The purpose is to prevent incorrect opera-

tion that could result in personal injury or damage to the machine.

5.3 Warning

Warning:

This symbol warns you about extreme danger that you must take notice of in

those speciﬁc circumstances. So for the sake of your own safety, remain alert at

all times.

These safety messages can only warn and not remove the danger. Both the use of common sense

and proper observation of the guidelines in this manual are essential to prevent accidents.

mation about the machine and the manufacturer:

understood.

2. Suitable safety clothing (gloves, safety goggles, ear defend-

ers) should be worn when operating the machine.

3. There is a real risk of severe injuries including permanent

damage to the hands. Never place your hands near the blade

while it is still operating.

5. There is a real risk of severe injuries with permanent damage

to the eyes or face as a result of ﬂying debris.

This sticker notiﬁes the operator that the engine must be

turned off and the spark plug cap removed before starting

maintenance on the machine.

This sticker reminds the user that bystanders should observe a

minimum distance from the machine.
