Reading the instruction
Manual and following it should seem to be in-
convenient and superfluous as it is not
enough to hear from others and to realize that a
machine is good, to buy it and to believe that now
everything should work by itself. The person in
question would not only harm himself but also
make the mistake of blaming the machine for pos-
sible failures instead of himself. In order to ensure
success one should enter the mind of a thing,
make himself familiar with every part of the ma-
chine and get acquainted with how it's handled.
Only in this way could you be satisfied both with
the machine and with yourself. This goal is the
purpose of this instruction manual.
