1.1 The machine has been built in accordance with state-of-the-art standards and
the recognized safety rules. Nevertheless, its use may constitute a risk to life and limb
of the user or of third parties, or cause damage to the machine and to other material
property.
1.2 The machine must only be used in technically perfect condition in accordance
with its designated use and the instructions set out in the operation manual, and only
by safety-conscious persons who are fully aware of the risks involved in operating the
machine. Any functional disorders, especially those affecting the safety of the machine/
plant, should therefore be rectifi ed immediately!
