CAUTION!
for safety purposes, this machine should be used by skilled staff only, aware of the
instructions contained in this manual which forms an integral part of the machine.
1.3 MACHINE OPERATORS
The uncapping machine has been designed for operation by a single worker.
Basic technical and mechanical skills are required to correctly operate the machine and carry out maintenance
and basic servicing.
1.4 DIRECTIONS / RECOMMENDED AND NOT RECOMMENDED USE
For efficient machine operation, the frame wood thickness must be constant and the use of spacers in the
supers is recommended.
The frames should not have any protruding parts e.g. nails.
We recommend using supers with spacers at least one notch down from the hive frame number (e.g. for a 10-
frame beehive, use supers with 9 frames or better still, 8 frames).
This machine should be exclusively used for the uncapping of frames.
1.5 HANDLING / TRANSPORT
The uncapping machine cannot be lifted or handled manually by a single person. The machine can be
transported unpacked or in suitable packing (e.g. wooden crate).
Transport is normally carried out by appointed forwarders on the customer's own responsibility.
During transport, the crate containing the machine must be firmly secured with ropes or cables to prevent it
moving.
The machine can be handled by using lift trucks or pallet trucks.
The machine weight is approximately 125 kg, therefore, the lifting equipment must be of adequate carrying
capacity.
PROCEED VERY SLOWLY WHEN HANDLING THE MACHINE.
