[. . . ] · It is inadvisable to place the machine on long-haired rugs or carpet or on layers of foam-rubber as this would affect its stability. · Before placing it on small tiles, apply a rubber coating. · If the appliance is positioned on flexible floors, especially wooden beams with flexible floorboards, use a 15 mm thick, water resistant panel of wood, screwed to at least two of the floor beams. If possible, position the machine in a corner of the room, where the beams are more solidly fixed and tend to be more stable. [. . . ]
