    5. Operator safety warnings ELIET cannot anticipate every situation in which a risk or danger can occur. The warning symbols in this operating manual and the labels on the machine are therefore not comprehensive. Al- though 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.
