There are 44 utterances in text of Important Safety Instruction that are picked up randomly as some samples of analysis. Before they are analyzed, the utterances were grouped with the same linguistics categories, those are simple present tense, imperative sentence, declarative sentence, conjunction, and material process. In material process, there are two categories to discuss, they are passive voice and active voice. Then using schematic structure form, the data were analyzed one by one. The findings of this study show that the language used in Important safety instruction text in manual book is concise, as evidenced by the low percentage of conjunctions (4%). Another is the language used in the text of the Important safety instruction text is effective and direct, as shown by the high percentages of declarative (20%) and imperative sentences (27%), this reduces the possibility of misunderstandings or misinterpretations moreover, the pattern makes the information being conveyed directly easy to understand.
