> T ANUAL ECHNICAL DATA 2. E NVIRONMENT Your machine should preferably be installed on a perfectly flat and stable work surface of suitable height (about 70 cm), free from shocks and vibrations, to benefit from the high accuracy of your edger. Your edger can be placed to the right or left of the tracer. However, leave enough space between the two devices for the opening of the side covers.
All edgers obtain a final shape on a lens, by removing material. This process generates dust, which depends on the lens and the materials used. The materials used for coating the Essilor wheel and consumed during its use are not toxic or allergenic. Nevertheless, users must check that the ground materials are not toxic.
