quality of materials used in construction. The machine and its component parts are assembled to
high standards assuring long life and minimum maintenance.

Foot and handles (1)
The jig-welded, reinforced all-steel construction of the feet ensures perfect stability. Precision
springs allow the feet to be folded up. Handles can be used for the transport of the machine when
the feet are folded up, and for locking the feet when the machine is standing on its feet.
