4. Lubrication
LK3-B448E MARK2/BA-16
Turn off the power switch before starting lubricating, otherwise the machine may operate if the foot
switch is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the lubricating oil and grease, so that they do
not get into your eyes or onto your skin, otherwise inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink the oil or eat the grease under any circumstances, as they can cause vomiting
and diarrhoea.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
CAUTION
