For the purposes of the above, ‘fully automatic machine’ is a machine fitted with an automatic device, ie magazine and/or table and/or mechanical arm fed, and manual operations are limited to setting the machine in motion, loading the magazine, as the case may be, activating the wheel dressing device and stopping the machine.
