the work site. These are e.g. obstacles in the working and travelling area, the load-
bearing capacity of the ground and any necessary barriers separating the work site
from public roads!

and reliable state!
Operate the machine only if all protective and safety-oriented devices, e.g. removable
safety-devices, soundproofing elements and exhausters etc., are in place and fully
functional!

Report any changes (incl. changes in the machine's working behaviour) to the
