  Do not remove any protection devices which require the use of tools in order to be removed 

  Do not wash the machine with direct water jets or with pressurised water, nor with corrosive substances 

  After every 200 hours of operation, have the machine checked by a COMAC assistance centre 

  Before using the machine, check that all the hatches and covers are positioned as shown in this Use and Maintenance 

Manual 

  When disposing of consumption materials, observe the laws and regulations in force 

  The machine should not be abandoned, due to the presence of toxic-harmful materials (batteries, oil etc.) subject to 

regulations which provide for their scrapping in the appropriate centres 

  The machine does not cause harmful vibrations 

  When your COMAC machine has reached the end of its long working life, dispose of the materials it contains (especially oils 

and electronic components), and bearing in mind that the machine itself was constructed using 100% recyclable materials 

  Only use the brushes supplied with the device, or those specified in the Use and Maintenance Manual (page 29). The use of 

other brushes could compromise safety levels 

  The batteries must be removed from the machine before its disposal 

  The batteries must be disposed of in a safe manner, fully observing the laws and regulations in force 

  The machine is not suitable for use by children or people with reduced physical, mental and sensorial capacities, or people

their safety 

  Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the device
