2 Safety information and use
2.1 Requirements for the user
This operating manual is intended for persons assigned with operating
and monitoring the Fritsch PULVERISETTE 19. The operating manual and
especially its safety instructions are to be observed by all persons
working on or with this device. In addition, the applicable rules and regu-
lations for accident prevention at the installation site are to be observed.
Always keep the operating manual at the installation site of the PULVERI-
SETTE 19.
People with health problems or under the influence of medication,
drugs, alcohol or exhaustion must not operate this device.
The PULVERISETTE 19 may only be operated by authorised persons and
serviced or repaired by trained specialists. All commissioning, mainte-
nance and repair work may only be carried out by technically qualified
personnel. Qualified personnel are persons who, because of their educa-
tion, experience and training as well as their knowledge of relevant
standards, regulations, accident prevention guidelines and operating
conditions, are authorised by those responsible for the safety of the
machine to carry out the required work and are able to recognize and
avoid possible hazards as defined for skilled workers in IEC 364.
In order to prevent hazards to users, follow the instructions in this
manual.
Malfunctions that impair the safety of persons, the PULVERISETTE 19 or
other material property must be rectified immediately. The following
information serves both the personal safety of operating personnel as
well as the safety of the products described and any devices connected
to them: All maintenance and repair work may only be performed by
technically qualified personnel.
This operating manual is not a complete technical description. Only the
details required for operation and maintaining usability are described.
Fritsch has prepared and reviewed this operating manual with the
greatest care. However, no guarantee is made for its completeness or
accuracy.
Subject to technical modifications.
2.2 Scope of application
The Universal Cutting Mill can be used for the fast comminution of soft,
medium-hard, brittle, tough and fibrous materials like:
Sheet rubber, plastics, refuse-derived fuel, dry meat, leather, wood, coal,
malt, paper/cardboard, peat, animal feed, pasta, tablets, leaves, pellets,
spices, fabric, straw, maize, bones, roots, tobacco...

2.2.1 Operating principle
The material is fed through a funnel (example in image with standard
funnel) into the cutting chamber. There, rotating knives (3) in combina-
tion with fixed knives (4,5,9) cut the material. The fine ground material
falls through a sieve cassette (7) into the collecting vessel (8).
For fine comminution, the sample exhaust system can be used with
cyclone separator (optional accessory 45.5900.00).
2.3 Obligations of the operator
Before using the PULVERISETTE 19, this manual is to be carefully read
and understood. The use of the PULVERISETTE 19 requires technical
knowledge; only commercial use is permitted.
The operating personnel must be familiar with the content of the oper-
ating manual. For this reason, it is very important that these persons
actually receive the present operating manual. Ensure that the operating
manual is always near the device.
The PULVERISETTE 19 may exclusively be used within the scope of appli-
cations set down in this manual and within the framework of guidelines
put forth in this manual. In case of non-compliance or improper use, the
customer assumes full liability for the functional capability of the PUL-
VERISETTE 19 and for any damage or injury arising from failure to fulfil
this obligation.
By using the PULVERISETTE 19 the customer agrees with this and recog-
nizes that defects, malfunctions or errors cannot be completely
excluded. To prevent risk of damage to persons or property or of other
direct or indirect damage, resulting from this or other causes, the cus-
tomer must implement sufficient and comprehensive safety measures
for working with the PULVERISETTE 19.
Neither compliance with this manual nor the conditions and methods
used during installation, operation, use and maintenance of the PUL-
VERISETTE 19 can be monitored by Fritsch GmbH. Improper execution of
the installation can result in property damage and thus endanger per-
sons. Therefore, we assume absolutely no responsibility or liability for
loss, damage or costs that result from errors at installation, improper
operation or improper use or improper maintenance or are in any way
connected to these.
