General Information

Omcan Manufacturing and Distributing Company Inc. and Food Machinery Of America, Inc. dba Omcan
are not responsible for any harm or injury caused due to any person’s improper or negligent use of
this equipment. The product shall only be operated by someone over the age of 18, of sound mind, and

not under the inuence of any drugs or alcohol, who has been trained in the correct operation of this
machine, and is wearing authorized, proper safety clothing. Any modication to the machine voids any
warranty, and may cause harm to individuals using the machine or in the vicinity of the machine while

in operation.

WARNING! THIS HANDBOOK HAS TO BE READ CAREFULLY AND FULLY UNDERSTOOD BEFORE
USING THE MACHINE; ALWAYS KEEP IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND CONSULTATION. FOR ANY
DOUBT, CONTACT OMCAN INC. IMMEDIATELY.

WARNING! ANY OPERATION NOT EXPLICITLY DESCRIBED OR NOT EXPLICITLY LISTED IN THIS
HANDBOOK IS ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN.

WARNING! Any operator who uses the machine, explicitly and irrevocably acknowledges that Omcan Inc.

cannot be held liable (from the civil, criminal or any other type of liability) for an accident occurring in the
presence of (and not necessarily “as a consequence of”) a breach of one or more (no exclusions admitted) of
the rules listed in this handbook. The above is explicitly and irrevocably accepted with the startup and use of
the machine.

The design of this machine features many safety measures to safeguard the operator, however there are
hazards which cannot be fully reduced; these hazards are called “non-eliminable residual hazards” and are
potentially dangers. Carefully read this handbook and all the attached documents. It is mandatory to pay the
utmost attention to all the rules.

CHECK PACKAGE UPON ARRIVAL

If no external damage is evident on the package upon its arrival, open it and check that all the components are
inside. If the package has suffered rough handling, bumps or damage (visible or concealed), the carrier must
be informed within 24 hours about any damage. A detailed report on the extent of the damage caused to the

machine must be lled within three days from the delivery date shown in the shipping documents.

Safety

READING AND UNDERSTANDING THIS HANDBOOK

WARNING! Do not use the machine before you have read, understood and memorized this handbook, the

warnings, all diagrams put on the machine, any corrections made, information, instruction, and explanation
which Omcan and its commercial network will give you in any way (e-mail, fax, website, letter).

WARNING! Do not use the machine in a way which differs from what stated in this handbook, warnings, or in

3

Safety

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 qualied 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 modied; all people using the machine must make sure the

machine is always equipped with original guard.

Safety

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 specic 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
cuffs; both have to be wore tight, without leaving them open or just partially tight; tighten the sleeves around
the cuffs and always keep your hair gathered in a cap.

FEET: it is mandatory to wear safety shoes with steel toes to protect the feet from the fall of heavy objects (the

5

Safety

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

HANDS: to protect your hands, wear marked protective gloves in conformity with the rules for protective gloves
against mechanical hazards, since they must protect hands against abrasion, cuts and tears and perforations.

WARNING:

The packaging components are classied as normal solid urban waste and can therefore be disposed of
without difculty.

For suitable recycling, we suggest disposing of the products separately (differentiated waste)

according to the local standards.

DO NOT DISCARD ANY PACKAGING MATERIALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT!
