(g)

 Under no circumstances should a mat

sensor be cut or drilled. It is not possible for
the user to modify the size or shape of a mat
sensor.

(h)

 Great care should be taken when handling

mat sensors. Never pick the sensor up or drag
it around using the cables. Never bend a mat
at a radius less than 300mm. Keep mat sensors
flat whenever possible. Always store flat. Mat
sensors with one edge longer than 1 metre
should be handled by two people.
