2 About this machine
2.1 Intended use
This meat and bone saw is a technical work resource which is only suitable for application
at work.
This band-saw machine in desktop version was designed for clean and fast cutting or por-
tioning of meat, frozen meat, bones and other food.
For this reason the machine should only be used for these products.
The products are positioned on the fixed work table and for separation, it is pushed against
the saw blade with the material pusher
Approved product taking into consideration the dimensions, chapters 9.1:
– Fresh, frozen or smoked meat
– Meat with and without bones, incl. marrow long bones
– Poultry, fish
– All food products being processed in butcheries, meat processing plants and industri-
al kitchens.
Note: When slicing/sawing usually one product, we recommend using a special blade belt
or saw blade.
The following may not be sliced/sawn due to risk of injury and damage:
– All products not included in the range of application
– All products that represent limit cases only with authorization of manufacturer
Applications
The meat and bone saw is suitable for installation in the sales or preparation area.
The use in wet areas is permitted with suitable electrical installation.
Permissible ambient temperatures from -10°C up to 40°C.
Operating time
This meat and bone saw is designed for continuous operation.
2.2 Machine description
The ON/OFF switch is a membrane push button with signal lamp. The red OFF switch re-
acts as soon as it is tapped, the green ON switch reacts when it is normally pressed.
The saw blade is driven via the drive disk directly from an air-cooled three-phase motor.
When opening the saw door the drive is switched off using a magnet switch. The follow-up
time is approx. 3-4 seconds.
The removable pusher can be inserted together with the product and fastened in upwards
position using a star knob.

2 - 2 6.066.98.5.10.05 en
2The height of the protective bar with the upper saw blade guide can be adjusted using the
star knob.
It can be quickly adjusted to any product height of max. 250 mm and clamped.
The adjustable, removable gauge plate allows sawing of equal portions of 10 mm to 190
mm width.
The saw blade deflector and the drive disk deflector prevent meat and fat residues as well
as bone splinters from depositing on the drive disk and upper wheel and from being pulled
off by the product. The saw residues fall from the deflectors into the collecting bin under-
neath.
The saw blade clamping unit allows fast replacement of the blade, as well as release dur-
ing longer standstill periods.
The saw blade rotation can be adjusted by means of an adjustment device at the upper
wheel.
All external machine components are made of stainless steel, with the exception of the
saw blade.
Work place-related emission noise level value
LpA = 98 dB (A).
The value takes into consideration an instable measuring of 3 dB.
Acoustic power level * LwA = 112.8 dB (A).
The value takes into consideration an instable measuring of 3 dB.
* The acoustic power level does not submit any data on the radiation characteristic of the
machine, i.e. how the sound field around the machine is formed. In addition the measure-
ment was carried out under conditions in the free field. This however are no representative
data on the real noise disturbance at a possible workstation near the machine. The acous-
tic power level is a mean value, which permits similar information regarding sound radia-
tion of similar machine types.
Hearing protection is recommended.
