Dutch term or phrase: verzint eer ge begint!!!
Hallo Kollegen,
dieser Satz bzw. Ausspruch steht in einem technischen Text. Ich vermute, es handelt sich um ein Sprichwort, da es im Text komplett in Großbuchstaben geschrieben ist. Es könnte natürlich auch ein Warnhinweis sein.

Vielen Dank im Voraus für jeden Tipp!

Erst zielen, dann schießen!


Explanation:
Das entsprechende Sprichwort im Deutschen wäre m.E. "erst zielen, dann schießen!", aber mir schient, dass das in einem technischen Text nicht ganz optimal ist...
