All safety instructions include a warning symbol and a signal word that
classify the danger and a text block that contains descriptions of the type
and cause of the danger, the consequences of ignoring the safety
instruction and the measures that can be taken to minimise the danger.
Example:
DANGER
Arcing on removing or inserting a live power supply plug.
Arcing can cause burns to the hands and damage to the eyes.
Ensure that the line circuit breaker on the Power Interface (PI)
unit is in the "OFF" position before removing or inserting the
power supply plug.
There are three classes of safety instructions: "DANGER", "WARNING"
and "CAUTION". Which class is relevant depends on the consequences of
ignoring the safety instruction:
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
