Quality for Professionals It may NOT seem inconvenient and unnecessary to read and observe the operating instructions. It is not enough to hear and see from others that an implement is good, and then to buy it and believe that everything takes care of itself. The person concerned would then not only cause damage to himself, but also make the mistake of assuming that the cause of any problems is due to the implement, instead of himself.
