Damage deriving from negligence, carelessness, bad and improper
use of the machine or incorrect manoeuvres by the operator are
also excluded from the warranty. Removal of the safety devices
with which the machine is equipped shall automatically void the
warranty and relieve the Manufacturer from all liability in merit.
The warranty also becomes void if spurious spare parts are used.
Even when covered by the warranty, the machine must be re-
turned Carriage Free.
