Keep the machine away from any source of dust. Any servicing or work on the machine (with the cover open or closed) must be undertaken by a Briot technician. > The symbol defines a general hazard, and you will find it: on the edging chamber: risk of bodily hazard.
Change the water in the tank regularly if your machine operates in closed water circuit mode. Contact a Briot technician for all repairs and always order Briot spare parts. To remove the cover from the machine, the technician must use the locking spanner supplied with the edger.
