Description of the potential workplaces to be operated by potential operators. 7. Description of the intended use of the machinery. 8. Warnings about the methods in which the machinery shall not be used, whenever experiments have shown that the machinery can not be used in the wrong ways. 9. Assembly, installation, and wiring instructions, including diagrams, structural installation methods or machinery fixing means. 10. Instructions for assembly and installation related to reducing noise and vibration. 11. Guidance on the methods of using machinery and, if necessary, instructions for training the operators. 12. Information regarding risks that remain in place despite safety precautions inherent in the design and complementary preventive and protective measures are taken. 13. Guidance on the preventive measures that the user shall take, including personal protective equipment that shall be provided if required. 14. Basic properties of tools that can be used with machinery. 15. Conditions in which machinery meet stability requirements during use, transport, assembly or disassembly, when they are unsuitable for use or testing, or there are foreseeable malfunctions. 16. Instructions to ensure the safe completion of the transportation, processing and storage processes, taking into account the size of the machinery and their various parts, provided that those parts are transported regularly and each separately. 17.
