SECTION 1. FOR SAFE MACHINE USAGE

This operating manual is intended for the user to operate the machine safely.
Before operating the machine, read this operating manual and the manual
accompanying the machine and thoroughly understand its proper installing
and operating methods.

This operating manual includes the precautions for avoiding the possible

◆

hazards. For a better understanding of the machine's safety, messages
on safety are inserted as follows for each precautionary item:

WARNING: This message with a symbol implies that if the machine is

mis-handled, the user may die or get seriously injured.

CAUTION: This message with a symbol implies that if the machine is mis-

handled, the user may get injured and/or only physical damage
may occur.

It is impossible for the manufacturer to predict all potential hazards

◆

associated with the installation/operation of the machine under all
environments. For this reason, safety is not fully covered by this
operating manual, other manuals, or the warning and caution messages
inscribed on the machine. It is to be understood, therefore, that if it
becomes absolutely necessary to perform operations and/or checks not
described in related manuals, the user is to pay careful attention to
safety, under its own responsibility.
The operating/checking directions and precautions contained in this

◆

operating manual and other manuals relate only to the use of the
machine for its specified purposes. It is to be understood, therefore,
