4. Adapt your hair and clothing to the work you are doing: do not wear loose
clothing, long chains or shawls and tie your hair back when using devices with
moving parts. Protecting gloves and shoes and possibly goggles, ear-defenders and
a dust-mask are also recommended.

persons to carry out any maintenance. Never use the device if a part is damaged.
