Therefore, the warnings in this operating manual and the labels on the machine are not comprehensive. Although minimal, some risk will always remain. If, as the operator of the machine, you use a working method or technique or perform any action that is not explicitly recommended by ELIET, ensure in any case that this will not present a danger for bystanders.
