What does it mean?
Stop - don't let a guy in a suit with a giant quiver OR a locomotive mechanic work on your car?
Lol.
In case you're asking a serious question... it's the equivalent of "profession installation only".
It's not a giant quiver, it's a line struck through the guy in the suit.
Another possible interpretation is, "Hey M-F 9-to-5 business douche - stop, this is beyond your skill level. Hire an actual mechanic to install it for you. Or Uncle Jesse from the Dukes of Hazzard."

No - not serious. Just poking fun at the silly images. What's up with that giant spanner? No professional mechanic would install a reference sensor with that...

He might use it as a hammer, though.
Never underestimate the use of tools for other than their intended purpose.
This little icon appears on practically all Bosch parts. Cleaning out the garage today, I noticed it on a baggie for an electrical connector kit... no wrench required.
Offhand I can't think of any Bosch parts that require a wrench THAT big...
Today was the first day I've had a chance to do any work on the 944, and I need to get it 'reliable'. I parked it a bit early last fall because it was dying on me randomly while driving.
My reference sensors are old Bosch units, and the cables are pretty stiff, with one of them starting to split near the sensor. Car has been sitting for 6-7 months but started up just fine today.
I pulled the Bosch sensors and compared them to the FAE units. The FAE ones are about 0.4mm longer.
Earlier in this thread I posted the results of testing continuity across sensor housing to the pins. One of the new FAE sensors had continuity and thus failed the test, while the other was okay.
I performed the same test on the old Bosch units and they both passed. I also tested the resistance across pins per Clark's garage and all four sensors were within allowable ranges.
Feeling adventurous, I decided to install both the FAE sensors - putting the 'good' one in the harder to reach and further back 'speed sensor' location. I also reset the gap for these longer sensors.
No start, no tach bounce.
I pulled the suspected bad FAE sensor and replaced it with one of the old Bosch units. Car started up immediately.
One more example of why we should avoid these FAE sensors.
^^^ Yep.
I'm sure most of you place some value on your time as well.
For $57 a pop for a genuine Bosch sensor, it is not worth my time, energy, or aggravation to be dicking around with something else that *might* work.
