Faults that might impair safety must be eliminated immediately.
2.1.5 Malfunction
If any safety-relevant malfunction occurs in the grinding machine or if the processing response
indicates that such malfunction may have occurred, the grinding machine must be stopped imme-
diately until such time as the malfunction has been detected and eliminated.
Malfunctions may only be eliminated by authorized specialists.
2.2 Intended use
The grinding machine is meant for grinding and polishing linear and sickle-shaped flat knives only.
Other than hand knives (e.g. carving knives), all the knives must be clamped to suitable grinding
plates.
Before starting work on a flat knife, a check must first be carried out as to whether the knife fits
onto the grinding plate. Only then may the knife be clamped onto the grinding plate.
Any other use is considered improper use. KNECHT Maschinenbau GmbH assumes no liability for
damages resulting from improper use. The user alone bears the risk in such cases.
Use as intended includes the observance of all the instructions in the operating instructions.
The grinding machine is being used improperly if, for example:
• flat knives are ground without using the grinding plate.
• attachments are not properly mounted.
• knives are sharpened / polished in opposite direction of the cutting edge on the wet-grinding
belt, finned grinding wheel, wet-honing wheel, serration grinding wheel as well as the polishing
disc.
2.3 Warranty and liability
Warranty and liability claims in case of personal injuries 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 transportation, 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
• failure to observe the instructions with regard to transportation, commissioning, operation,
maintenance and repair of the grinding machine
