1.4 Duty and liability
The
Wire Stitching Machine ECONOMY 25/40
has been built according to state-of-the-art tech-
nology under the observance of all the recognised safety regulations. It is, nevertheless, still possi-
ble when using this machine to cause danger to life and limb of the user or a third party or to cause
damage to the machine or other property.
The machine should only be used,
• for the purpose for which it was designed
• when it is in a perfect technical condition
Faults that could reduce the levels of safety in using the machine must be removed immediately.
Warranties and liability on the part of the manufacturer are fundamentally covered by the regula-
tions laid down in our ”General sales and delivery conditions”.
1.5 Correct use of the machine
The Wire Stitching Machine ECONOMY 25/40
is designed exclusively stitching of brochures and
leaflets or similar items. Any use of the machine contrary to that described above is forbidden since
incorrect use of the machine can present a danger.

The user of the machine is required to provide the required personal safety equipment. All existing
safety systems should be checked regularly.

order before every start-up of the machine.
Safety and protective systems may only be removed:
• when the machine is stationary
and
• after it has been secured against being started up again.
1.8 Informal safety measures
The Operating Manual should be stored in such a way as to be permanently to hand at the
machine. There are also generally valid local regulations concerning accident prevention and envi-

described in the Operating Instructions.
All safety and danger signs on the machine should be maintained in a legible condition and should
