1. Take the machine out from the box and all parts from the packages.
2. Slip the front part of screen frame (1a) into the rear part of screen frame (1b) and connect
them by means of M6x16 bolts (2) with small flat washers Ø6.4mm (3).
3. Put the assembled screen frame on a flat surface (table, floot, etc.) and slip the screen (4)
onto the longitudinal beam on the front part of screen frame with its back side out. Bolt
the screen (4) to the assembled apron frame by means of two bolts M6x16 (2) with
washers Ø6.6mm (5) and self-locking nuts M6 (6) with small flat washers Ø6.4mm (3).
Provide the bolt heads with plastic caps (7). Then sling the screen sides over the screen
frame so that they are in the position illustrated in Fig. 2a.
