order a replacement from your authorized dealer in the
same way you order other replacement parts (be sure

rectly and safely.
Allow only trained, qualified, authorized personnel to op-
erate the machine.
Keep your machine in proper working condition.
• Unauthorized modifications of the machine may impair
its function and/or safety and affect machine life.
The safety messages in this SAFETY chapter are in-
tended to illustrate basic safety procedures of machines.
However it is impossible for these safety messages to
cover every hazardous situation you may encounter. If
you have any questions, you should first consult your su-
pervisor and/or your authorized dealer before operating
or performing maintenance work on the machine.
