Precautions

The following is a list of important information that the user of this machine should know prior to operating the machine in order for the machine to maintain its expected service life but more importantly for the safety of the user.

• [Keep Upright]

  The machine shall not be placed upside-down or on any of its sides. The maximum tilt angle of the machine is 45°. Exceeding this angle can seriously damage the machine.

• [Warning: Avoid direct sunlight]
