Before each operation, make visual check of the machine and machine tools, as well as accessories with regard to
integrity and appropriateness for the application.
Never operate the machine if one or more parts (e. g. machine tools, cables, lines) are damaged, if it is not working
properly, if any damages can be identified or are to be suspected (e. g. after it has been dropped). Replace damaged parts
immediately.
Never remove protective devices from the machines where fitted and ensure they are in good condition and properly
adjusted before starting the machine.
A malfunction, which impairs operator safety, must be immediately removed.
Pay attention that the machine is cleaned from dust and deposits of rust particles and other deposits before and after
the work.
