The warning symbols in this operating manual and the labels on the machine are therefore not comprehensive. Alt- hough minimal, a residual risk will always be present. If while operating the machine you apply a working method, operation or technique that is not explicitly recommended by ELIET, make sure that it does not represent a danger for bystanders.
