having performed the foreseen calibration and initialisation operation. For further details
regarding machine operation, see chapter 9 "OPERATION AND USE".

out by second level plant conductor. (see paragraph 4.8).
The personal protective equipment required are safety
shoes, anti-entanglement work clothes and gloves (for
additional details see the paragraph 7.10).

properly. In the paragraph 8.10 are summarizes the operations to be carried out at each
change of the format to be packaged.
