2. RISKS AND WARNINGS
 Compressed air risk: when the equipment is installed and used, the
operator must be protected against any possible injuries caused by the acciden-
tal detachment of parts under pressure. The tested product must conform with
the mandatory requirements (e.g. The tested product must conform with the
mandatory requirements (e.g. "Pressure Equipment Directive", PED 97/23/CEE )
 Electrical shock risk: class I equipment.
The electrical power supply requires mandatory a protective ground connec-
tion. Check regularly the protective ground connection of the power supply.
Always keep the power supply cable in good conditions. Disconnect the power
supply cable for any maintenance and before cleaning the equipment housing.
 Moving parts risk: if the pneumatic or electrical outputs of the equip-
ment are used to drive external moving parts, the operator must be protected
applying all the safety standards of the Machinery Directive for moving parts.
 Before carrying out any maintenance work, depressurise the pneu-
matic system and disconnect the power supply cable to the device.
 Clean the outside of the equipment with soft cloths, using only water
with neutral detergents or disinfectants.
