while under the influence of alcohol or drugs,
medication or anything that could affect your
vision, alertness, coordination or judgment.
Wear personal protective equipment. See in-
structions under the heading Personal protec-
tive equipment.
Do not modify this product or use it if it ap-
pears to have been modified by others.
Never use a machine that is faulty. Carry
out the checks, maintenance and service
instructions described in this manual. Some
maintenance and service measures must be
carried out by trained and qualified special-
ists. See instructions under the heading

pecially to the eyes.
