electromagnetic field during operation.
This field may under some
circumstances interfere with active or
passive medical implants. To reduce the
risk of serious or fatal injury, we
recommend persons with medical

circumstances can produce the force
necessary to start the machine. This can
mean a risk of serious personal injury.
