Overview
This warning sign warns that a surface can burn. Typical homes for it are heaters, pipes, machinery, hot plates and ovens. Our caution this machine runs hot sign printing is made to order in the size and board you choose.
Reading the sign
It reads "Caution This Machine Runs Hot". Yellow triangle, black border: the shape everyone reads as "watch out". The layout is a yellow triangle above black wording, plus the ISO 7010 W017 symbol (hot surface). The CAUTION heading tells people to watch out; the line beneath says for what.
Where to fix it
On the hot kit itself or right beside it. Fix it on the machine or right beside the controls.
Before you order caution this machine runs hot sign printing, think about how far away people will be. Rule of thumb from ISO 3864-1: each 25 mm on the short side of the sign gives roughly a metre of reading distance. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Anything read from a distance or a moving vehicle wants the larger sizes.
Caution this machine runs hot sign printing: choosing the board
For caution this machine runs hot sign printing, pick the board to suit the spot:
- 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
- 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years
- self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards
Inside, Foamex or vinyl does the job. Outside for the long haul, go Dibond.
Instructions at the machine back up training and help new starters follow the safe way of working.
Under the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996, employers put up a safety sign wherever a risk is still there after other controls. Warning signs take the yellow triangle with a black edge.
Send a print-ready PDF, build it in the online designer, or pay for our artwork service (you get 1 design and 2 rounds of changes). Whichever you pick, a person checks the file before it prints.

Which size do I need?
A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.
| Size | Readable from up to about |
|---|---|
| A4 (210 × 297 mm) | 8 m |
| A3 (297 × 420 mm) | 12 m |
| A2 (420 × 594 mm) | 17 m |
| A1 (594 × 841 mm) | 24 m |
Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.
Questions
Quick answers about caution this machine runs hot sign printing.
What size do I need so people can read "Caution This Machine Runs Hot"?
Go by reading distance rather than wall space. In normal light, A4 (210 × 297 mm) covers 8 m, A3 (297 × 420 mm) covers 12 m, A2 (420 × 594 mm) covers 17 m and A1 (594 × 841 mm) covers 24 m. Choose one size up if people pass quickly or the area is poorly lit.
Is the symbol on this sign an ISO 7010 one?
Yes: W017, Hot surface. The "Caution This Machine Runs Hot" text sits alongside it, and the pictogram is taken from public domain artwork.
Where is the best place to put the "Caution This Machine Runs Hot" sign?
Put it on the hot equipment or immediately beside it. Walk the route yourself and make sure it is seen from the direction people come.
Does the law say I must put up a Caution This Machine Runs Hot sign?
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 call for suitable warnings and instructions on work equipment. A sign on the machine keeps the key rule in front of whoever uses it. How many you need and where comes down to your own risk assessment for "Caution This Machine Runs Hot".
Can I get this sign with my own words or logo?
Yes. Custom wording or a logo is a separate job. Send the replacement for "Caution This Machine Runs Hot" or your logo file. Use the question box on this page, or the Get a quote page for a bigger job.
What is the delivery time on the "Caution This Machine Runs Hot" sign?
Count 4 working days on Standard before it ships, then 1 to 3 working days by courier with email tracking. Mainland UK delivery adds £7.95 to the basket, and nothing once the goods reach £100 after any discount code.
Asked by buyers
How cheaply can I get hold of the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign?
Picked the way the page first loads, with A4 (210 × 297 mm) and self-adhesive vinyl, the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign comes to £5.02. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign?
Allow 6 working days on Saver, 4 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign is handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with. Weekends and bank holidays are not counted, and nothing starts until the order is paid and the artwork is confirmed. Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day. After it leaves us, the courier normally delivers in one to three working days and you get the tracking link by email.
Which artwork services are offered with the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign?
Several routes, all chosen under Artwork on this page. Send your own finished file (no charge), we set your words and logo on a tidy layout, called typesetting (£15), we design it from your brief (£35), we redraw a blurry or low quality logo as sharp vector art (£30) or we create a brand new logo (£50). Typesetting and design from a brief each come with one first draft and two rounds of changes. The fee is the same whatever quantity you order and shows separately in the basket. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On its opening option, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Vinyl, Dibond or Foamex: which should we pick for a Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign?
Decide by where "Caution This Machine Runs Hot" is going and how long it has to last. Staying outside for years, or somewhere busy where it may get knocked? 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, with metal skins, is the tough one. Indoors or under a porch? 3mm Foamex gives a light, smooth board. Going straight onto a door, window or smooth wall? The self-adhesive vinyl sticks flat with no drilling.
Which size of the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign can people read from further away?
Rough reading distances for "Caution This Machine Runs Hot": about 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. The rule of thumb behind them: each 25 mm of height buys roughly one metre of distance. If the light is poor, or people pass quickly on foot or at the wheel, go for the next size up. The figures use the distance factor from ISO 3864-1, and your own risk assessment should settle the final choice. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.
Which is the smallest and which the biggest sign I can order here?
The table has 4 sizes. At the small end, A4 (210 × 297 mm) costs from £5.02; at the top, A1 (594 × 841 mm) costs from £15.12. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure?

What message is a Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign giving?
Start with the symbol on "Caution This Machine Runs Hot". W017 is the ISO 7010 pictogram for hot surface, so even someone without much English gets the gist at a glance. The design follows the warning sign pattern (a black-edged yellow triangle), used to flag up a hazard. That colour and shape code is laid down by the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations. Typical spots: a school technology room, a makerspace or a farm shed.
Could you price an A2 (420 × 594 mm) sign for me?

Could the total go up after I reach the checkout?
No surprises: what the page shows for this sign is the goods figure you pay at checkout.

Paid artwork help shows up as its own basket line, so you can check each amount before paying. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

I am not a business. Can I buy just one sign?
Of course. Anyone can order, with no trade account and no minimum beyond one. Prices for the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign begin at £5.02, checkout works without an account and you pay by card. Parents, clubs, churches and small shops order single items all the time. On its own the opening price of £5.02 would add £7.95 for mainland delivery; reach £100 of goods and that goes to zero.
Can I mix different safety signs in a single order?
You can. Each sign gets a separate basket line, with whatever size and board suit it, and you pay once at the end.

I need several signs, some in different sizes. How do I buy them?
Each price on the page is for a single sign in the size and material chosen. Put the number you want in the box beside Add to basket and the total multiplies. For a different size or material, add it as a separate line; the basket keeps them apart. An artwork fee is charged once per line, whatever the quantity, and choosing to reuse the artwork from another item in your basket costs nothing more. Very large runs can go through Get a quote. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Material choices for Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.
Our event is close. Can the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign be rushed?
Yes. Choose Express and the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign can be on the way in 2 working days on the opening option, for £6.68, where Saver is £5.02 and takes 6 days. Then give the courier one to three working days, and send the artwork with the order, because the clock does not run until the file is sorted. If the date is really tight, message us on the Contact page before paying and we will tell you honestly.
Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?
Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). Material choices for Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.
Can the wording on a Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign be changed, or our logo added?
Yes. To reword "Caution This Machine Runs Hot" or add a logo, pick the typesetting option (£15) for your text and logo on a clean layout, or the design-from-your-brief option (£35), then send us the details. Both paid options include one first draft and two rounds of changes. Uploading your own print-ready file costs nothing, and someone on our team looks it over before printing. Leave the safety symbol and its colours untouched, though: altering them makes the meaning less clear. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?
Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A1 (594 × 841 mm) layout wants about 7,016 by 9,933 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. On its opening option, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Does the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?
It does. Pick self-adhesive vinyl from the material list and it comes as a peel-off sticker. That is handy on a glass shop door, a classroom cupboard, a machine or a smooth painted wall, anywhere screwing a board up would be awkward. Wipe the spot, let it dry, then press it down from the centre outwards to push the air away. On rough brick or dusty surfaces, a board will hold better. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Material choices for Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.
What thickness is the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign, and does it feel sturdy?
Three millimetres, whichever board you go for. Pick self-adhesive vinyl instead and you get a thin film that lies flat against whatever you stick it to. Dibond feels stiff because a plastic core is sandwiched between two thin aluminium sheets, yet it is still simple to screw or stick up. Foamex is foamed PVC, so it weighs very little in the hand. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Do cafes, restaurants and food businesses buy the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign from you?
For kitchens, counters and dining areas, look under Food & Hospitality in the shop: the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign is listed there. Prices begin at £5.02; 4 sizes are listed, starting at A4 (210 × 297 mm); the material choices are self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. People buying for that kind of work often add Vegetable Paring Machine Sign or Please Leave This Lavatory Clean for the Next User Sign. Put everything in one order and delivery is free at £100 or more.
We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?
A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: Potato Chipping Machine Sign and Vegetable Paring Machine Sign. Keep every sign in one board type so the set matches, look up sizes and prices on each page, then check out once: one delivery charge for the whole basket, free over £100 of goods. You will also find this sign in our Food & Hospitality section.
It gets dark early in winter. Can people still read the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign in the evening?
Not in pitch darkness. Pick Foamex, Dibond or vinyl sticker and it is the same story: nothing on this page reflects headlights or glows by itself. Fix it where a street light, porch light or security lamp already shines, or fit a small light above it. Where a risk assessment asks for photoluminescent or reflective signs, those need to come from a specialist maker rather than from us. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On this page, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign starts from £5.02.
Will a Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?
Rain is rarely the problem for "Caution This Machine Runs Hot"; sunshine is. Every printed sign fades slowly in strong sun, so make a habit of checking outdoor ones and renew any that have faded too far. Dibond is the board to pick for a permanent outdoor home. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
What is the easiest way to put up a Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign?
To mount "Caution This Machine Runs Hot" on a wall, drill a hole near each corner of the board and screw it on with a washer under each head; stop once it feels snug, as Foamex in particular does not like being overtightened. Where drilling is not wanted, say on a painted door or a smooth wall inside, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads hold it well. For a fence, make a hole at each corner and loop cable ties through. The vinyl one needs no tools: peel off the backing and press it on once the surface has been wiped and dried.
Does the material change the price of the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign?
Taking the smallest size, A4 (210 × 297 mm), as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £5.02, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £40.79 and 3mm Foamex at £27.79. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. On its opening option, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Do we legally have to display a Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign?
Your risk assessment answers that one for "Caution This Machine Runs Hot". Where it shows a risk still remains after other steps, the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations say an employer must signpost it, and that applies to a cafe with two staff as much as a factory. Signs back up the other measures you take; they are never a substitute for them. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference W017.
How do I work out how many Caution This Machine Runs Hot signs to order?
Picture someone arriving for the first time. Every door they could come through, every approach to the risk and every corner where the route bends is a place for a sign. Large sites and long corridors usually need repeats, with bigger versions where people read from a distance. Put matching signs on a single basket line and raise the quantity; different sizes or materials go on lines of their own. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On this page, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign starts from £5.02.
Can I send this sign back if I no longer need it?
If it arrives faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, yes: under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 we reprint or refund. A change of mind is different. Each order is made to your specification, and reg. 28(1)(b) of the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 takes those goods out of the 14-day right to cancel. Before production starts, though, you can cancel for all your money back. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Who looks after me once I have bought the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign?

Can I pay for the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign by card as a guest?
Yes. Guest checkout is fine, and any debit or credit card works. Stripe processes the payment for us, which keeps your card number off our system entirely.

Next year we will want the same sign again. Is reordering easy?
Very. Choose the same product with the same options and upload the same file, and it is made again exactly as before. Save the final print file somewhere safe, as that makes a repeat order a two-minute job. Before you repeat it, read the wording again: dates, prices, opening times and contact details are the things that go out of date. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. Before delivery, this sign costs from £5.02. For reference, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

I have spotted a typo after paying. Can it be fixed?
Tell us quickly through the Contact page, quoting your order number. Before production starts we can take a corrected file, or cancel and refund the whole order. After that it cannot be changed.

Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
I am ordering this sign for a school or charity. Do I need to open an account?
No account is needed. Guest checkout lets a parent, volunteer or club secretary order once and pay by debit or credit card through Stripe. The price you see is the price you pay at checkout, and the confirmation email you receive lists the items and the amount paid for your records.

Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. For reference, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).
Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?
Three things help most: strong contrast between the words and the background, a plain bold font, and a size that matches how far away people will be. Our standard safety sign layouts use the high-contrast colour pairings laid down for safety signs. Mount the sign at eye height, where it is well lit and not catching glare, and keep the message short. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Material choices for Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.
What if A1 (594 × 841 mm) is still too small for the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign?
We can still help. Put the size you need, the material and the quantity into the quote request form and we will send a price. For reference, the listed range ends at A1 (594 × 841 mm), and that size costs £15.12 or more. Bear in mind that anything past A0 goes by oversize courier, a one-off £15 on the order. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all. On its opening option, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Does a Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign come upright or wide?
"Caution This Machine Runs Hot" is laid out in portrait format, available as A4, A3, A2 and A1. Upright layouts fit doors, posts and narrow bits of wall. Need it turned the other way? Choose one of the design options and we will rearrange it for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.
Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?
Yes, with ordinary tools. For Foamex or Correx, a sharp craft knife and a straight metal edge work: a few light passes, then snap or cut through. Dibond has aluminium skins and needs a fine-toothed saw. Drill slowly with a standard bit and stay at least 10 mm from any edge. Any cutting removes some of the bleed, so plan the layout with that in mind. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Nothing is printed ahead of time: each sign is made to order for you. On its opening option, Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign leaves us after 6 working days on Saver.
Could the Caution This Machine Runs Hot Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?
Start with the position: eye level, on the push side or on the wall next to the frame, so the message is still visible with the door open. For the door itself, choose self-adhesive vinyl, which suits painted doors and glass panels. A 3mm Foamex board on foam tape also sits well on a flat door.
