Remaining risk

Definition of remaining risk: “A danger not completely reducible from the designing and the
safety devices, i.e. potential and not evident danger”.
Since the productive aiming, the mechanical qualities and the presupposed proper usage we
didn’t find any remaining risks, both during the design and the tests.
Anyway, we recommend:

- to let only trained staff using the machine;

- to check that the machine is supplied by an grounded single-phase electrical cable and the
plug has an effective earth terminal.

a memorandum of the main operations. We specify, moreover. That I.M. mirrors the technical
data at the moment of the purchase of the machine and that the manufacturer has the right to
bring up-to-date I.M. and machines without conform I.M. and previous models.
