1. Safety Instructions
Before commissioning the machine, read the operating
manual and safety instructions carefully and observe
them at all times.
Also ensure that all other users are familiar with the
safety instructions.
• Anybody involved at the user’s plant with the installation,
dismantling, commissioning, operation and maintenance
(servicing, maintenance and repairs) of KOLBE butchery
machines must have read and understood the relevant
operating manual and in particular the safety instructions in
full. We recommend that the user obtains written
confirmation of this.
• KOLBE butchery machines are built to the state of the art
and are safe to use. However, if these machines are used
incorrectly or for improper purposes by untrained
personnel they may represent a danger.
• KOLBE butchery machines (band saws, mincers and
portioning units) are exclusively designed for processing
meat and fish. Any other usage shall be regarded as
improper. The manufacturer may not be held liable for any
damage resulting from this; this risk shall be borne solely
by the user.
• Proper usage also includes the observance of the
operating, maintenance and servicing instructions issued
by the manufacturer.
• KOLBE butchery machines (band saws, mincers and
portioning units) may only be operated, maintained and
serviced by authorised, trained and instructed personnel.
This personnel must have been given special training in
the possible dangers which may occur.
• Responsibility for the installation, dismantling,
maintenance, commissioning, servicing and operating
must be clearly defined and observed so that no unclear
competence can occur which may involve aspects of
safety.
• Before starting work get to know all the equipment and
control elements on the machine and their function. When
the machine is working you will not have time to do so and
it will then be too late!
• The shut down procedures described in the operating
manual for installation, dismantling, maintenance,
commissioning, servicing and operating work must be
observed at all times.
• No action is to be taken which may reduce the safety level
of the machine.
• The operator must ensure that unauthorised persons are
not allowed to use the machine.
• The operator ist obliged to report any changes to the
machine which may reduce its safety level to his superior
immediately.
• The user must undertake to operate the machine only if it
is in perfect condition.
• By issuing the appropriate instructions and completing the
necessary checks the user must ensure the cleanliness
and clarity of the work station around the machine.
• Unauthorised modifications or changes to the machine are
not allowed and will render the liability of the manufacturer
for any resulting damage null and void.
• Do not reach into the infeed and outfeed area of the
machine or into the tools when they are operating (e.g. belt
saw blade, mincer work, cross knives, and stroke knives).
• Do not complete adjustment work when the machine is
operating. Wait until the machine has reached a standstill.
• Electrical and mechanical safety equipment must not be
removed.
• Before looking for faults or completing maintenance and
repair work, disconnect the electrical supply and have this
work completed by an authorised specialist (if necessary
secure the machine using warning signs).
• Before restarting the machine after maintenance or repair
work, check whether all the guards have been refitted
correctly.
• The general safety and accident prevention regulations as
well as other generally acknowledged safety regulations
are to be observed.
