4.8 Safety devices
The machine is equipped with safety devices
designed to prevent the occurrence of
dangerous situations for the operator. Before
starting any operation, it is important that the
operator checks the perfect functioning of
these devices.
The non-functioning of a safety device, caused
by a failure or tampering, can cause serious
injury damage to the machine and
consequently endanger life operator. The
manufacturer has designed the machine and
its devices in order to guarantee the maximum
safety for its customers; however, the devices
must be checked periodically as described in this
manual and must never be tampered with.
Do not intervene on your own safety devices. In
case of tampering, the manufacturer declines
all responsibility about any accidents
attributable to these interventions.
In case you notice non-functioning of a safety
device, ask for help to C.M.C. Service.
