2.1 SAFETY MESSAGES
Most accidents are caused by the failure to follow fundamental rules for the operation and maintenance of
machines.
To avoid accidents, read, understand and follow all precautions and warmings in this manual and on the
machine before performing operation and maintenance.
To identify hazards on the machine pictorial decals are used (see POSITION FOR ATTACHING SAFETY
LABELS)
RED WARNING TRIANGLE - This is used on safety labels where there is a high probabil-
ity of serious injury or death if the hazard is not avoided.
These safety messages or labels usually describe precau-
tions that must be taken to avoid the hazard. Failure to
avoid this hazard may also result in serious damage to the
machine.
ORANGE WARNING TRIANGLE - This is used on safety labels where there is a potentially
dangerous situation which could result in serious injury or
death if the hazard is not avoided. These safety messages
or labels usually describe precautions that must be taken
to avoid the hazard. Failure to avoid this hazard may also
result in serious damage of the machine
YELLOW SAFETY TRIANGLE - This is used on safety labels for hazards which could result
in minor or moderate injury if the hazard is not avoided.
This word might also be used for a hazard where the only
result could be damage to the machine.
NOTICE - This word is used for precautions that must be taken to
avoid actions which could shorten the life of the machine.
Safety precautions are described in SAFETY from page 1-1.
Komatsu cannot predict every circumstance that might involve a potential hazard in operation and mainte-
nance. Therefore that safety message in this manual and on the machine may not include all possible safety
precautions. If any procedures or actions not specifically recommended or allowed in this manual are used, you
must be sure that you and others can do such procedures and actions safely and without damaging the machine.
If you are unsure about the safety of some procedures, contact Komatsu or your Komatsu distributor.

Under no circumstances should this machine be used for heavy duty/demolition purposes. If you are unsure of
the suitability of the machine to your particular application, please contact Komatsu or your Komatsu distribu-
