USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Check the safety devices
The following test facilitates checking that all the safety devices on the machine are fully operational.
The safety systems installed on the machine are inevitably subject to wear and loss of calibration,
therefore they must be periodically checked and maintained in perfect service condition. It is not
recommended to have their efficacy verified on the basis of their performance only.
No such systems may in any way relieve the operator of his individual responsibility of operating the
machine with all due diligence.
