turer shall assume no liability.
Only original parts from HIWIN may be used as spare parts and accessories. Spare parts and accessories not supplied by
HIWIN are not tested for operation with HIWIN linear guideways and may compromise operational safety. The manufacturer
shall accept no liability for damage caused as a result of using non-approved spare parts and accessories.
