2. Caution

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury to human.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in damage of equipment or objects.


Notice gives more information about the situation. if not followed, then it will not caused any harm to human or equipment.
