3.4 Make sure that there is enough lighting during work.
3.5 Avoid any operation that might be a risk to machine or to machine stability.
3.6 Check the machine at least after every operation for obvious damage and defects. Report any
changes (incl. changes in the machine’s working behaviour) to the competent organization/person
