The circular saw must not be switched
on before the operator has read these
operating instructions and the saw has
been connected correctly!
Danger!
The saw blade must be correctly
mounted and firmly seated.
6.1.1
Switching on
Danger!
Ensure that the saw is switched
off prior to connecting it to the
plant network.
Before switching on, the following points must be checked without
fail! An early failure of the saw blade as well as problems in the
slaughtering process can thus be avoided to a large extent.
Before switching on, check that:
the circular saw is operational;
the saw blade is correctly inserted;
the suspension (spring balancer) is correctly mounted and is
operational;
a sharp saw blade was mounted directly before starting work,
see section 7.1.2 Installation of saw blade
;
the general safety instructions have been taken into
account,
see chapter 2 Safety
.
The machine can be equipped with one handle (A) and one switching
handle (B) or with two switching handles (B
– C).
To switch on, press the switch,
