This equipment conforms to the essential safety and health requirements set out in
Directive 2006/42/EC and to the requirements of Directives 2014/30/EU, 2014/35/
EU, 2006/42/EC, 2011/65/EU (RoHS) and Regulation (EC) 1935/2004.
If any accident occurs, the manufacturer shall not be held liable if the machine has
been modified, tampered with, had its safety guards removed or is used for
purposes other than the intended use specified by the manufacturer.
1.5 - Intended use
The machine was designed and manufactured for tenderising slices of meat.
It must be used in a professional setting by qualified operators who have read and
understood this manual. Use the machine exclusively when it is securely placed on
a solid worktable.
1.6 - Improper use
The machine must only be used for its intended purposes; in particular:
- Do not use the machine for tenderising food products other than meat.
- Do not use the machine unless it has been properly installed with all its guards in
good working order and correctly fitted, to prevent the risk of serious injury.
- Do not use or store the machine inside a cold room: this could seriously damage
the electrical components sensitive to condensate (which forms at low
temperatures) and also alter the viscosity of the grease and/or lubricating oil in

the gearbox housed inside it, jeopardising the machine’s correct operation and
causing potential failures.
- Do not access any of the electrical components without having first disconnected
the machine from the mains power supply: risk of electric shock.
- Do not process products that are too large to be fully contained under the blade
pack.
- Do not wear clothing which does not comply with safety regulations. Consult
your employer for information on the applicable safety regulations and the
personal protective equipment to be worn.
- Do not start the machine if it has a fault.
- Before using the machine, make sure that any potentially hazardous conditions
have been adequately eliminated. If you notice anything unusual in its operation,
shut down the machine and inform the maintenance supervisors.
- Do not allow unauthorised persons to work on the machine.
In case of injury caused by electric shock, the first thing to do is to detach the
injured person from live conductors (as the person will probably be unconscious).
This is highly hazardous.
In this instance, the injured person is also a live electrical conductor; touching them
directly would mean suffering electric shock.
It is advisable to disconnect the contacts directly from the line’s power supply
valve; should this not be possible, move the victim away using insulating material
(wooden or PVC sticks, fabric, leather, etc.).
First-aid medical assistance should be requested promptly and the injured person
should be taken to hospital.
