1.2 Intended Use
The cutters are designed for separating meat con-
taining bone in non-frozen or partially frozen state
(from approx. -5° C).
The cutter is suitable for cutting and breaking oper-
ations in medium-sized and large plants.
Never reach into the cutting area
of the cutter to avoid the risk of
cutting off limbs!
Wear eye protection or safety
goggles when working with the
saw!
The greatest care and attention must
be taken here. Lack of attention can
result in an immediate risk of injury for
the operating personnel or third par-
ties. Furthermore, the machine may
be damaged.
Texts marked with this symbol con-
tain important information and useful
tips.
EFA Z 08: For cutting off the trotters and hocks of
pigs at the joint.
EFA Z 12: For cutting off horns and legs of cows.
EFA Z 14: For separating cow legs.
The machines are not equipped for any other form
of use. Should the operator wish to use the saw in
some other way, please consult Schmid & Wezel
GmbH & Co. (S&W) beforehand.
Use in any other way may result in a risk of acci-
dents and increased wear to the saw. The user
alone bears the liability for the consequences of any
other form of use.
1.2.1 Residual risks
During industrial use of the cutters on animal car-
casses there is a risk of injuring yourself or, in the
case of gross negligence, of killing someone.Since
during the intended use, the size of the opening be-
tween the cutter knives cannot be reduced, there is
a risk of the neck or upper arm or even the shoulder
joint coming between the cutter knives and the cut-
ter then being closed. Improper use of the cutter
could thus lead to instant death or to death by
bleeding. . Be sure therefore to always use the ma-
chine in the proper manner.
The cutter requires a hydraulic power pack to gen-
erate the cutting force, for 2-hand operation also a
pneumatic control unit.
The machine itself cannot build up any pressure.
The pressure is only built up in conjunction with the
upline pressure generator and the corresponding
hoses. The machine may only be put into operation
when all the requirements of the Pressure Vessel Di-
rective applicable to this product have been ob-
served.
The machine is designed for a pressure of 200 bar.
A value of
can be assumed for the
pressure volume in the cutters and in the pressure
generator and hoses. The Pressure Vessel Directive
97/23/EC with the corresponding diagrams general-
ly applies to these elements.In view of the sturdy
design with respect to strength, torsional rigidity
and stability under static and dynamic operating
loads, however, we would refer you to Article 1.3.10
of the Pressure Vessel Directive 97/23/EC:
As the pressure constitutes no significant factor for
the design, the cutters are not subject to the provi-
sions of the above Directive.
