27. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of
the cleaner, a guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it
will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless otherwise
indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized
service center. Don't use the cleaner if switch
does not turn it on and off.

dismantled, cleaned and serviced, as far as is
reasonably practicable, without causing risk to the
maintenance staff and others.

the manufacturer, or an instructed person, at least
annually, consisting of, for example, inspection of
filters for damage, air tightness of the machine
