correct operation. It's necessary to provide clear working space for blanks supply and take
away considering their weight and dimensions;
• floor should not be slippery and have obstacles;
• the machine and workplace should be kept clean;
• workplace should be well illuminated with natural or artificial light sources; please note that
the usage of fluorescent lighting causes a stroboscopic effect which may lead to incorrect
