• During operation, keep hands away from the tools.
• Check that the tube is correctly clamped.
• Switch on the machine only when the tube has been clamped.
• Do not use the machine in wet surroundings. Only work in canopied surroundings.
• In extreme conditions of use, conductive dust can settle inside the machine. For this reason and for better safety,
an on-site SPE-PRCD or a sensitive to all types of current ground-fault circuit or a isolating transformer is required
between the mains network and the machine, to be checked and installed if necessary by a professional electrician.
• When working with the machine, wear safety shoes (in accordance with EN ISO 20345, at least S1).

The recommendations concerning "Personal protective equipment" only apply
to the product being described. Other requirements resulting from the ambient
conditions on-site or of other products, or from combining with other products,
are not taken into account. These recommendations do not in any way release
the responsible body (employer) from its statutory health and safety at work
obligations towards its employees.
