Keep the machine and accessories
in good repair. Follow the mainte-
nance instructions.

Before any use check machine for
possible damage: before operating
the machine all safety devices, pro-
tective guards or slightly damaged

function as specified. Check to see
that all moving parts work properly
and do not jam. All parts must be
correctly installed and meet all re-
quirements for proper operation of
the device.
