they are sharp.
3.1.2 Hydraulic power unit
The cutting mechanism of the cutter functions hy-
draulically. Connect the cutter to an operational hy-
draulic power generator (see also the separate
operating manual for the hydraulic power unit), and
fill finely filtered hydraulic oil in the relevant
opening provided and
connect the generator unit via the terminal box
(Y-connection 3: 400 V ~, 50 Hz).
The hydraulic hoses to be used have threaded fit-
tings of different sizes and therefore cannot be con-
nected incorrectly.
3.1.3 Connecting and disconnecting the cut-
ter
The cutter is equipped with a plug connection return
flow and a coupling body feed flow. Proceed as fol-
lows:
Switch off the compressed air and actuate the
two-hand safety circuit (refer to Chapter 3.2.1
on the hook cutter once.
Disconnect the depressurised hydraulic hose
assembly (1 - 13), with feed flow closed, from
the hose unit.
To disconnect, release the safety locking ring on
the coupling body. To do this, turn the locking
ring until the lock is released.
The hydraulic couplers are self-locking so that no oil
escapes when they are disconnected.
Protect the coupling and plug parts
against soiling!
3.2 Switch Operation
The cutter may only be switched
on after reading this operating
manual and correct connection to
the power supply!
The hook cutter is equipped with a two-hand, safety
circuit.
3.2.1 Switching on
Hold the cutter firmly!
Actuate the front operating handle simultane-
ously with the rear operating handle to close the
cutter.
3.2.2 Switching off
Release the operating handles to open the cut-
ter
The cutting process can be interrupted or repeated
at any time.
3.3 Working with the Hook Cutter
Never reach into the cutting area
of the cutter to avoid the risk of
cutting off limbs!
Wear eye protection or safety gog-
gles when completing working!
3.3.1 Working process
The hydraulic power pack must be ready for
operation.
Hold the cutter firmly, position it correctly and
actuate the two-hand safety circuit (see Chapter
3.2 "Switch Operation" (pg. 3))
The cutting process can be carried out either with
the carcass/meat hanging or lying on the table. The
cutter operator selects the cutting area and per-
forms a quick cut by actuating the two-hand safety
circuit.
Always apply the cutter at right angles
and in the cutting area (not with the
blade tips). Otherwise the blades may
break due to overload.
Venting of the cutter is not necessary, as the air es-
capes from the venting filter of the hydraulic power
unit via the hydraulic hoses after a few actuations of
the cutter.
3.3.2 Operating safety
Hold the machine firmly with both handles.
Work very cautiously when cutting, the blades
close within 1.3 s.
Always apply the machine at right angles and in
the cutting area so that the blades do not break
in the event of overloading.
Suspend the cutter from a spring balances for
safe handling (guidance).
4. Assembly
Disconnect the machine from the
works mains power before start-
ing any assembly work!
