2.2 Positioning the machine in its guiding vice

The following diagram shows the machine's dimensions in relation to low-
level guiding vice UIC 505-1 (track with a nominal gauge of 1435).

2.3 Operator's work area

In normal operating conditions, the area available to the operator for
running the machine is between the two rails on a same track.
Should the cutting operation have to be made the other way round,
carefully check safety conditions, especially if there is traffic still
running on the other track.
