In addition, owing to the difficulty in accessing the control panel located more than two metres from the ground, the user can touch live parts, while there are unidentified electrical conductors and the electric panel is insufficiently protected from the accumulation of dust generated by operating the machine. The user can therefore receive an electric shock. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive.
