Safety Tips 

 
 

If  required,  our  customer  service  team

  can  arrange  maintenance 

service. 
 

 

The Beta A2 Press 

meets the European Legislation standard.  

Under  normal  conditions  accidents  are  rare.    However,  listed 
below are some practical points to ensure your safety. 

 

 

Always  switch  off

  and  isolate  the  mains  supply  (i.e. 

remove  plug)  before  undertaking  any  maintenance 
work. 
 

 

Keep other peopl

e away from the machine during use. 

 

 

Ensure  that  there  is

  sufficient  space  around  the 

machine.  Cables and connections must not get jammed.  
Although  the  heat  radiation  of  the  press  is  low,  there 
should be enough space for cooling down. 

 

 

Avoid contact

 with the press element. 

 

 

DO  NOT  REMOVE  THE  TOP  COVER  UNLESS 
QUALIFIED  TO  DO  SO

  -  touching  internal  parts  is 

dangerous and may cause shock hazard. 

 

 

PROTECT  THE  MAINS  CABLE

  -  damage  to  the  mains 

cable may cause fire or shock hazard.  When unplugging, hold 
by  the  plug  only  and  remove  carefully.    Take  care  that  the 
mains cable does not come into contact with the heat plate (or 
moving  parts  of  the  mechanism)  during  operation  of  the 
machine.
