A useful axiom quoted by a professional bellhanger
Your band may include professional engineers, fitters or others whose skills go beyond what we have assumed in this guide. They will be able to undertake more than we have described and their professional training should equip them to judge when they are working within the limits of their competence. Most laymen (and lay women) may be competent DIY people but are less aware of their limits. Do not attempt any maintenance if you are not certain of what you are doing. If you come across a problem we have not mentioned, or you are not sure about something, seek help and advice. In many cases we recommend you to seek advice anyway, since failure to do so may result in all sorts of problems. There are several sources of advice available to you. See section 14.12h about DIY limitations.
