  • Page 3 However, this brief instruction is not a substitute for thorough study of the operating instructions. These operating instructions will help to familiarise you with the LEMKEN GmbH & Co. KG device and the options available for using it.
  • Page 4 Remember that you should only use genuine LEMKEN spare parts. Reproduction parts have a negative influence on the function of the device, have a shorter ser- vice life and present risks and hazards that cannot be estimated by LEMKEN GmbH & Co. KG. They also increase the maintenance costs.
