3.8. INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERISTICS
Careful consideration must be given to the place where the machine is to be installed, in order to ensure that
it may be easily operated, without creating any unnecessary risks for personnel. Therefore we suggest the
followin
g
p
rere
q
uisites.
‒suitable room tem
p
erature (Se
e
3.6. "technical s
p
ecifications").
‒A suitably aired place so that when the machine is working, the degree of humidity is not unpleasantly
hi
g
h/low from the
p
oint of view of the o
p
erator.
‒A sufficient li
g
htin
g
in order that a

leasant, relaxin
g
workin
g
environment is created for the o
p
erator.

e.
Provide suitable safety conditions in compliance with the regulations on workplace safety to prevent and
minimise the risks.
Pay attention to the SAFETY WARNINGS, do not use the machine for UNSPECIFIED PURPOSES and assess the
p
ossible RESIDUAL RISKS.
4.2. PACKAGING AND UNPACKING
