• Do not use the machine on a
paved surface or a gravel sur-
face where the ejected material
could cause injury.
• Before putting into operation,
always visually inspect the

ensure they are secure, and
that the housing is undamaged
and the safety equipment and
protective guards are in place.
Damaged or worn parts are to
be replaced as a set to ensure
the machine remains balanced.
Damaged or illegible stickers
