reflects the technical situation at the moment in which the machine
is put on sale and may not be considered inappropriate in the case
of updating. The Manufacturer reserves the right to modify products
and the manual at any moment without being obliged to update
previous products and manuals, unless the modifications concern a
risk to the health and safety of people and animals or damage to
things. Photocopies must always be produced from the original of

or unauthorised reproduction is prohibited.

party, the manual must be consigned to the new owner. Before
modifying the machine in any way, contact the Manufacturer or
dealer to confirm that the modifications can be performed without
altering the characteristics or safety of the machine. If the machine
or control devices are significantly modified, certification of the
machine and therefore also this manual will no longer be valid.
