hazards” and are dangerous to the operator: therefore, carefully read and understand this handbook and all the
warnings and the diagrams for the machine. It is mandatory and recommended to follow all instructions, with
no exceptions.

The machine must not be used by persons under age of 18 (eighteen). The use of the machine is forbidden

maintenance for butchers; repairs carried out by technicians; dismissal by relevant operators. If the machine
is not being used for extended period of time (examples: end of shift; weekend; holidays, bank holidays and
permissions; absence for any reason), never leave it switched on and connected to the power line though
the drive is not running, to avoid the useless consumption of power and for safety reasons. Omcan Inc. is

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

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
without difculty.

In any case, for suitable recycling, we suggest disposing of the products separately (differentiated
waste) according to the current norms.

DO NOT DISCARD ANY PACKAGING MATERIALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT!
