Before being used,the machine must be checked.
这里的before是介词还是连词?可以省略being吗?
【1】before being used, the machine must be checked
=Before the macine is used, it must be checked.
以上属于介词用法
句子语法结构分析如下:
时间状语:before being used(介词短语充当)(介词+动名词被动语态结构)
主语:the machine(这台机器)
谓语:must be checked(必须被检查)
中文意思:这台机器在使用前必须被检查.
(介词使用before后可接名词/代词/动名词)

谢谢你的回答。我想问下,把before看作连词能省略being。我看到很多状语从句可以省略成连词+过去分词(短语),是没有being的
继续回答如下:
(1)由于 before 既可当连词,又可当介词使用,因此当连词使用后面要接完整句子,从句一般不可以采用省略形式,(但是当介词用,可以该为当连词使用从句.)
(2)while, when 只能当连词使用,因此,引导从句,可以省略从句“主语+谓语”部分,条件为从句和主句有相同主语,且从句含有be 形式,或者(it is )形式
