Safety
2 Safety
This machine has been designed and manufactured with consid-
eration to all safety aspects. It reflects current engineering practice
and the valid accident prevention regulations. The machine left
the factory in faultless condition and guarantees a high level of
technical safety. However, erroneous operation and misuse result
in a risk to:
➤the life and limb of the operator or third parties,
➤the machine and other property of the owner,
➤the efficient function of the machine.
It is fundamentally prohibited to implement any method of work that
has a negative influence on the safety of the operating personnel
and the machine. All persons involved in the installation, commis-
sioning, operation, care, repair and maintenance of the machine
must have read and understood the operation manual beforehand
- in particular the "Safety" chapter.
Your safety depends on it!
We recommend that the machine owner have this confirmed in
writing.
