This operating manual contains essential instructions for operating and maintaining
the device which must be strictly observed. It is essential that they be read by the
operator and by the qualified staff responsible for the device before the device is
commissioned. This operating manual must be available and accessible at the
place of use at all times.
The user of the device herewith confirms to the managing operator (owner) that
(s)he has received sufficient instructions about the operation and maintenance of
the system. The user has received the operating manual, has read and taken note
of its contents and consequently has all the information required for safe operation
and is sufficiently familiar with the device.
As the owner/managing operator you should for your own protection have your
employees confirm that they have received the instructions about the operation of
the machine.
I have read and taken note of the contents of all chapters in this operating
