ENVIRONMENT: Health and safety rules re. environmental damage
It is vitally important to observe health and safety rules in order to avoid
unnecessary environmental damage or danger to anybody near the
machine. This especially applies to the responsible disposal of oil. Never
spill pollutants (oil, grease, filters, etc.) on the ground, never pour them
down the drain and never discard them where they can pollute the
environment. Always take waste materials to a recycling centre.
