2.1.5 Malfunctions
If safety-relevant malfunctions occur with the grinding machine, or if the processing behavior
indicates that such malfunctions may have occurred, the grinding machine must be stopped
immediately 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.
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, first check that the knife fits onto the grinding plate.
Only then may the knife be clamped onto the grinding plate.
Any other use is considered to be improper. The company 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.
The grinding machine is being used improperly if, for example:
• flat knives are ground without using the grinding plate.
• fixtures are not properly attached.
• knives are sharpened / polished in the opposite 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 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,
• unauthorized structural alterations to the grinding machine,
• unauthorized modification, e.g. of the drive conditions (output and speed), and
