Safety and prevention

2.1 SAFETY

The operator must be trained on the risks arising
from accidents, on the devices designed for operator
safety and the general accident prevention rules in the
Directives and the legislation of the country where the
machine is used. While manufacturing the machine,
all potential situations of DANGER were taken into
account and the necessary protections were imple-
mented. It remains a high level of accidents caused
by the improper and clumsy use of the machine. The
distraction, the lightness and too much confidence
often cause accidents as they might be the fatigue
and sleepiness. It is mandatory then to read very
carefully this manual and in particular the SECTION
on safety standards.
