The machine described in this manual may contain components that
do not form part of the standard equipment but are available as

Furthermore, machines and optional extras may be adapted to
specific regional conditions and are also subject to permanent
research and innovation.
For this reason, the specifications of your machine may not be
consistent with the pictures in this manual.

factory will make replacement parts available, free of charge, for a
period of 12 (twelve) months from the date of purchase.

The warranty shall not apply if the instructions mentioned in this
manual have not been followed, or if they have not been followed
completely or correctly.
Nor will the warranty apply if you or third parties modify the
machine without our foreknowledge and/or authorisation.
