Before starting to work, carefully check that all machine components, particularly rubber or
plastic parts, are in place, in good condition and operate correctly. If the inspection reveals any
damage or excessive wear, no matter how slight, immediately replace or repair the component.
Walk around the machine to ensure that all components are in good condition and operational,
and that there are no foreign objects or debris (rags, tools, etc.…) in or near the machine
which could affect its operation.
