READING THE
INSTRUCTION
manual and to adhere to it should not appear to
be inconvenient and superfluous as it is not
enough to hear from others and to realise that a
machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now
everything would work by itself. The person con-
cerned would not only harm himself but also
make the mistake of blaming the machine for the
reason of a possible failure instead of himself. In
order to ensure a good success one should go into
the mind of a thing or make himself familiar with
every part of the machine and to get acquainted
with its handling. Only this way, you would be
satisfied both with the machine as also with
yourself. To achieve this is the purpose of this in-
struction manual.
