•
Keep bystanders at a distance and be extra careful in the vicinity of people and animals.
•
Make sure the work area is clearly laid out and has good lighting.
•
Avoid stress and work in a structured way. This reduces the risk of errors, combinations of dangers
and accidents.

Before use, check the equipment for damage. Do not use the equipment if it is not in good
condition, and consult your Holmatro dealer.
