Safety Tips

service.
♦
The Omega Series 1000 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
or cleaning the machine, or when not in use.
•
Keep other people
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.
