1.8 OPERATING PRECAUTIONS AND SAFETY REGULATIONS
 The machine must be placed in a closed room, duly protected from
dust and excessive humidity. It should be positioned so that its
distance from walls, doors, windows, other machines or workstations
allows to have immediate access to its various parts in case of
emergency, or to make the necessary maintenance or repair work
easier.
 Do not install the machine near operating machines that produce
dust, since the dust might settle and accumulate inside the machine
itself thus damaging the internal electric devices.
Do not place the machine near a heat source, excessive cooling
sources, water sources, electromagnetic sources and smoke.
The machine must be placed on a top raised from the floor and
properly leveled at least at 60 cm height.
Do not run the machine in vertical position.
 The machine is provided with special safety guards that prevent the
operator from coming into contact with the mechanical and electrical
parts inside the machine. Only specialized and authorized operators
can access these parts for maintenance and repairs. Simple general
maintenance can be performed by the operator without any risks of
electrocution or other damages due to mechanical devices but it
must be carried out after the machine has been stopped and the
power supply disconnected.
Do not tamper with the machine safety devices and do not modify
them, even partially.
 The machine is made of flame-resistant materials in order to reduce
the risk of fire.
Moreover it is fitted with a short circuit protection system that
guarantees the prompt isolation of the power supply.
 Always make sure that the power cable is intact and has no cuts and
cracks.
The presence of cuts or cracks might cause the user’s electrocution
and might create serious damages to the machine.
 Do not place or drop liquids on the machine cover as it is not
watertight.
It is particularly important to avoid any risk of oxidation that might
cause wear and tear and erosion of the mechanical parts.
 The noise level produced by the machine is lower than 75 DB
(measured at 1 m distance and at 1.60 m height from the floor).
The above mentioned value can be higher when special types of
steel tags are worked or if the machine is placed on a worktop that
amplifies the noise or if the machine has not been properly adjusted.
If the operator is exposed every day to a noise level probably higher
than 85 DB, it is necessary to use ear protection as provided for by
standards 86/188/CEE
