chines which have to be completely adjusted. If only specifi c individual work steps are
carried out, both the preceding and following chapters must be observed.
Screws, nuts indicated in brackets ( ) are fastenings for machine parts, which must be loose-
ned before adjustment and tightened again afterwards.
