the FlexPLP device system in question and in any safety matters associated
with it.

Safety zones, which have to be crossed before admittance, must be set up
in front of the FlexPLP's working space. Light beams or sensitive mats are
suitable devices.
•
Turntables or the like should be used to keep the operator out of the FlexPLP's
