While I understand that space can be at a premium with these labels, I will always, always come down on the side of clarity. Warning labels frequently get turned into jokes precisely because the originators thought that words could be dropped. > Do not open this cover while powered _My thought:_ While the cover is powered? So as long as I unplug the cover, I can leave power on for everything else? The second one is probably okay. > Do not clean the machine using water or materials that can generate an explosive atmosphere _My thought:_ Water can generate explosions?! so yeah, I'm with you. Clearer is better.
