Operational safety of the equipment supplied is ensured only when used as intended.
The intended use includes following the regulations contained in these operating instructions
as well as compliance with all maintenance and service tasks.
The IMS cutter DRIVE must only be used for cutting work for the restoration of pressureless
pipes or lines. The device can be used to open inliners after restoration and remove
obstacles (roots, protruding seals, minor offsets, or the like). The machine may not be used
for unintended purposes.
Unauthorised structural changes to the equipment may cause damage to the machine thus
