PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN CONFORMITY WITH CURRENT RULES: all of 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: The use of a cap to keep the hair gathered is mandatory in order to avoid entanglement with the
moving elements; for hygienic reasons, the cap must always be clean and must be able to retain the hair of the
operators. The hair might get entangled and cause serious accidents.

EYES: To protect the eyes from bone splinters and/or accidental blade breaking, wear safety glasses.

NOSE, MOUTH: To protect the respiratory tract from toxic or dangerous emissions of meat and similar

substances, it is mandatory to wear ltering masks; they have to be replaced with signs of dirt or partial

clogging; they have to be replaced after 2 (two) working days.

EARS: The machine does not produce a loud noise and it produces a continuous level of acoustic pressure
equivalent weighted “A” of 82 dB(A) ± 1 dB(A) vacuum and of 88 dB(A) ± 1 dB(A) when dry cutting large
and strong bones; thus 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 length of exposure to the noise is also a hazard. Submit
workers to regular health checks.

LIMBS AND BODY (what not to do): Never wear rings, wrist watches, bracelets, jewelry, torn clothing or
those with loose parts, scarves, ties, loose belts as they might get entangled and cause serious injury.

LIMBS AND BODY (what to do): For the protection of body parts, always wear overalls or coats with elastic
cuffs; both have to be wore well tight, without leaving them open, only partially tightened or with loose parts;
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 tips to protect the feet from the fall of heavy objects (the

5

Safety

machine itself or its spare parts or large pieces of food).

HANDS: to protect your hands, wear marked protective gloves in conformity with the rules for protective gloves
against mechanical hazards, since they must suitably 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

Installation

A space of at least 100 cm (39.37”) has to be left around each side of the machine to avoid hazards, falling

of the machine, to easily perform cleaning and maintenance and to avoid difculty when using with pieces of
meat. The oor must be a non-slip surface and has to be always kept clean.

The machine has to be assembled on a at, level surface (or onto a very stable pedestal) having a height

ranging from at least 45 cm (17.72”) and not exceeding 69 cm (27.17”) from ground so that the working
table upper surface is at a height from the ground ranging from 80 cm (31.50”) to 105 cm (41.34”). Then, the
electrical assembly has to be carried out.

After the installation, make sure that no one touches the machine and connect the feeding plug to a socket
(110 V ~ 60 Hz for single-phase motor machines).

• To switch the machine on, turn clockwise the rotational device towards “I” = ON =
switched ON.

• To switch the machine off, turn counterclockwise the rotational device towards “O”
= OFF = switched OFF.

Check the correct rotation of the motor and blade running direction, which always goes from upwards to
downwards. Check that (both when the motor is running and when it is idle, but the machine is powered)

the efciency of the connection and protection of the electrical switchboard have been performed. If such

checks are passed, the machine is electrically installed; if they are not, contact Omcan Inc. or the dealer for
maintenance.

Maintenance

WARNING! Before any cleaning and/or maintenance and/or check, switch the machine off (rotational device
positioned “O” = OFF) and then disconnect the power cord from the socket. Cleaning, maintenance or checks
must be performed when the machine is not connected to the power source.

Before restarting the machine, make sure that no one is touching it. The use and the regular cleaning of the
machine reduce the need for extraordinary maintenance and repair; the daily cleaning of the machine is an
important factor to promptly detect possible defects or damages. At least once a week, clean the machine with
a soft and dry cloth which does not lose its fabric. Avoid using petrol, solvents or any other type of detergent on
the non-metallic parts which can be exclusively cleaned with a neutral and non-foamy water-based detergent.
Never use abrasive products, chlorate substances, wire wools, brushes of any type, scrapers, etc., only use

small brushes having rigid bristles and cloths which do not lose fabrics, bers or fragments.

WARNING! The machine must never be washed with water jets (without buckets, rubber hoses or sponges).

WARNING! The machine does not need lubrication or greasing since it is equipped with self-lubricating

bearings.

WARNING! After a thorough visual check at the beginning of each shift, make sure:

• The inside of the machine is clean while playing close attention to the pulleys; if necessary, clean and
sanitize them;

• The cleanness of the lower container gathering the processed waste; if necessary, clean and sanitize it;

• The condition of the power cable and its plug;

• The condition of the switchboard and the control buttons (check whether there are cracks, splintering,

scratches, distortions, cuts, etc.);

• The working of all safety devices: the rotational device positioned “O” = OFF and door interblock
microswitch; then all the remaining safety devices already listed;

If damaged or bad working components are detected, do not allow anyone to use the machine and put a
warning about such prohibition; then contact the dealer or Omcan Inc. for maintenance.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

In order to preserve the machine (which is off) for a very long period the following rules must be abided by:

• Disconnect the power cable from the socket;

• Do not lay on the machine any other object and make sure that the place of storage is dry, not humid, dust

free, clean and free from insects or other animals and protected against bad weather conditions or other
agents (for example, atmospheric agents, drops of water or other liquids, pollution) which might damage it;
the place must not be subject to considerable temperature ranges;

• Abide by all technical specications indicated earlier in this operating handbook;

• If the original packing is still available, put the machine into it or cover it with a piece of cloth of nylon,
cellophane, polyethylene or other material of suitable size and if possible package it rmly to avoid the

machine being damaged due to falls or damage by other materials which might enter into contact with it.

16
