Malfunctions that may impair safety are to be eliminated immediately.
2.1.5 Malfunctions
If safety-relevant malfunctions occur with the grinding machine, or if the processing behavior indi-
cates that such malfunctions may have occurred, the grinding machine must be stopped immedi-
ately and until such time as the malfunction has been found and eliminated.
Allow only authorized trained personnel to eliminate the malfunctions.
2.2 Intended use
The grinding machine can be used universally for all standard cutter knives, as well as circular
knives, hand knives, and other cutting tools.
Except for hand knives (e.g. cutting knives), all cutting tools must be clamped on the correspond-
ing grinding plates. First, check whether the grinding plate matches the knife to be ground. The
knife can only be ground if this is the case.
Any other use is considered to be improper. KNECHT Maschinenbau GmbH is not liable for any
damage arising from this. The user alone bears this risk.
Use as intended includes the observance of all the notes in the operating instructions.
ATTENTION
The grinding machine is being used
improperly if, for example:
• cutting tools that cannot be guided by
hand are ground without a grinding plate.
• fixtures are not properly attached.
• knives are sharpened / polished in the op-
posite direction of the cutting edge on the
wet-grinding belt or the finned brush.
2.3 Warranty and liability
Warranty and liability claims in case of personal injury or property damage are excluded if such
damage is attributable to one or more of the following causes:
• improper use of the grinding machine,
• improper transport, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the grinding machine,
• operating the grinding machine with defective safety devices, or using improperly attached or
malfunctioning safety and protective equipment,
