environment. Prolonged exposure to these adverse conditions can damage
the machine.
Do not place the machine near heaters or volatile, flammable, or
combustible materials that may catch fire.
Refrain from relocating the machine after it has been fully assembled into a
complete working unit.

has been fully assembled. To relocate the machine, de-assemble it into
parts first and then re-assemble them again at the desired location.
