which Omcan and its commercial network will give you in any way (e-mail, fax, website, letter).

Safety and Warranty
WARNING! Do not use the machine in a way which differs from what stated in this handbook, warnings, or in
diagrams put on the machine because this might be hazardous for the operator.
• Omcan and the dealer cannot be held responsible for the consequences stemming from behaviors which
are not in listed in this handbook, warnings, diagrams for the machine.
• Not complying with the instructions indicated in this handbook, warnings or diagrams for the machine voids
any warranty and can also have legal repercussions in the case of an accident.
WARNING! Do not alter the machine and its assembly system in any way (not even a minimum change is
allowed). Remember that any change:
• Is a breach of the laws in force and might have a strong criminal repercussion in the case of an accident
both for the person who carried out the change and the person who ordered it;
• Any explicit and/or implicit warranty expires;
• Relieves Omcan and the dealer from any liability.
WARNING! Never damage or alter any component of the machine since all components are directly or
indirectly necessary for your safety.
WARNING! Any use not explicitly allowed by Omcan is absolutely forbidden and may be hazardous; it is a
breach of safety rules in force and liability now rests on both for the person who gives the instruction and the
person who carries it out.
WARNING! Although several safety measures have been listed, dangers still exist cannot be totally reduced
through the design and the safeguarding techniques. Such dangers are called “non-eliminable residual
hazards” and are potentially dangerous; carefully read and understand this handbook, all warnings and the
diagrams for the machine. It is mandatory to comply with all the instructions, with no exceptions.
The machine must not be used by persons under age of 18 (eighteen).The use of the machine is forbidden to
people with physical or mental disability. People under the effect of alcohol, psychotropic drugs, narcotics (soft
and heavy drugs) must not use the machine at any time. The machine has to be used by one (1) operator who
is trained with the machine’s functioning. The machine must never be used by more than one operator. The
machine is not designed for non-professional use. All activities have to be performed by trained personnel;
use and maintenance for butchers; repairs carried out by technicians; dismissal by relevant operators. If the
machine is left for a prolong period of time (examples: end of shift; weekend; holidays, bank holidays and
permissions; absence for any reason), never leave it switched on or connected to the power supply. Make
sure the drive is not running to avoid the useless consumption of power and for safety reasons. All the above
circumstances do not depend on Omcan but rather the person in charge of the machine. At the end of each
shift, the machine has to be switched off and put in the emergency stop by pushing the red button. If the
control board is equipped with a safety key for the startup (optional device), the operator must remove this key
and keep it carefully without giving it to anybody else. The machine must never be used, even occasionally,
by staffs who have not been trained and who are not formally authorized. If the operator is not trained, the
supervision of a qualied operator acting as a trainer is necessary. Remind anyone using the machine that care
and safety must be used to avoid accidents and increase working safety. The machine is supplied with guards
and safety devices which must not be removed or modied; all people using the machine must make sure the
machine is always equipped with original guard.

Safety and Warranty
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN CONFORMITY WITH CURRENT RULES: all the following
personal protective equipment (PPE) has to be in conformity with relevant technical rules in force (Directive no.
89/656/CEE and following amendments and updates) and therefore has to be EC-marked and have relevant
declaration of conformity which usually refers to specic European (EN) technical rules of the harmonized
type. The operators must always inform the employer, manager and/or representative of the anomalies in the
operation or characteristics of the use of their personal protective equipment.
HEAD: It is mandatory to use a cap to keep the hair gathered and to avoid entanglement within the moving
elements; also for hygienic reasons, the cap must always be clean and must be able to retain all hair.
EYES: To protect the eyes from bone splinters or accidental blade breaking, the wearing of safety glasses is
mandatory.
NOSE, MOUTH: To protect the respiratory tract from toxic emissions, pieces of meat or similar substances
under processing, the operator must wear a ltering mask. It is also necessary to wear a ltering mask for
hygienic reasons. The masks have to be replaced when they show signs of dirt or partial clogging or 2 (two)
working days.
EARS: The machine does not produce a loud noise and according to the tests performed it produces a level
of continuous acoustic pressure equivalent weighted “A” of 82 dB(A) ± 1 dB(A) vacuum and of 88 dB(A) ± 1
dB(A) in the dry cutting of bones particularly big and strong. Ear protectors (protective headset) are strongly
recommended and workers must be instructed on their correct use. The use of new blades or very sharp
blades and water-lubrication of the cutting area of bones contribute to reducing the noise. The duration of the
noise, the characteristics of the buildings, and the noise of adjacent machines contribute to a louder noise.
Submit workers to regular health checks.
LIMBS AND BODY (what not to do): Never wear rings, wrist watches, bracelets, jewelry, torn dresses, loose
clothing, scarves, ties, loose belts as they might get entangled and cause serious accidents.
LIMBS AND BODY (what to do): For the protection of the operator, always wear overalls or coats with elastic

machine itself or its spare parts or big blocks of frozen food).
