NOT EXHAUSTIVE. ASUS could not possibly know, evaluate and advise the service trade of all conceivable ways in which service might be done or of the possible hazardous consequences of each way. Consequently, ASUS has not undertaken any such broad evaluation. Accordingly, who uses a service procedure or tool which is not recommended by ASUS must first satisfy himself thoroughly that neither his safety nor the safe operation of the equipment will be jeopardized by the service method selected.
