2. SAFETY OF USE
The mechanical, electrical and electronic cutter assemblies were made according to state-of-
the-art solutions and generally accepted technical rules that ensure safety in the event of a
failure. Appropriate safeguards provide the operator with the highest level of security.
The use of accessories or accessories that have not been mounted, delivered or
manufactured by the cutter manufacturer requires a special permission from the
manufacturer. Otherwise, the warranty becomes void and the manufacturer is not
responsible for any damage or injury.
This requirement also applies to spare parts used during the necessary repairs!
Repairs may only be carried out by employees who have been appropriately trained by the
cutter's manufacturer. In the event of repairs carried out by unauthorized personnel, the
warranty granted to the device expires and exempts the manufacturer from any liability for
injuries or damage.
•The machine warranty expires if the machine is modified by the user.
•Modification of the device by the user releases the supplier and the
manufacturer from any liability
Despite the measures taken, operating the machine by insufficiently trained staff or trained in
the wrong way can pose a danger.
Every person involved in the assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance and
servicing of the machine must read the operating instructions, in particular the chapter
"Safety of use".
Despite the obligation to read and understand the safety rules at the time of
installation of the new slicer, knowledge of these rules should be repeated
periodically!
Possible consequences of improper handling:
•Danger to life
•Danger of injury
•Danger of damage to the machine
•Deterioration of the technical condition of the machine causing production
stoppages

2.2 Employee qualifications
•The guillotine can only be operated by qualified employees who have been properly
trained by the cutter manufacturer. With regard to safety rules, in the contents of this
instruction, by a qualified employee should be understood as a person authorized to
set machines, circuits and electrical circuits in accordance with the standards of
security technology.
•The guillotine should only be operated by employees trained and authorized for this
purpose by the employer. Such employees must be of legal age.
•An operator who does not use the language of the available version of the user
manual in speaking or writing, should be fully instructed in verbal instructions and
complete comprehensive and practical training to familiarize with the content of the
document.
This requirement is especially important for chapter "Safety of use". The
manufacturer recommends that the operator be given the translation of "Safety of
use" in his mother language with confirmation of receipt of such a document.

Operation Manual 5280 EPSHP

Info
Before operating the cutter the operator must read the operating instructions.
•Every employee delegated to work during assembly, disassembly, reassembly,
commissioning, servicing and maintenance (technical inspection, servicing, repairs)
of the cutter must read the entire operating manual, in particular the chapter "Safety
of use".
The manufacturer recommends that the buyer of the machine, transferring it for use,
obtained a written confirmation of the contents of the instructions.
•Every employee authorized to perform assembly, start-up, operation and
maintenance and repair of the cutter must read the entire operating manual, in
particular the chapter "Safety rules".
2.3 Requirements for the operator's workplace.
The user is obliged to create working conditions at the cutter workplace that preclude
the operator from slipping, slipping or falling due to poor ground conditions, the way
of routing the wires or the lack of convenient access!
2.3.1 Personal protection equipment
If necessary or if it results from the regulations in force, use the following personal protective
equipment:
•Wear safety shoes
•Wear safety goggles, e.g. when cutting fragile material
•Use hearing protection, e.g. when cutting hard material
2.3.2 Permissible environmental and operational conditions
•Operation of the machine is permitted in closed rooms
•Humidity: 35% - 95% (non-condensed)
•Ambient air temperature: + 5 °C - + 30 °C
2.4 Expected risks when operating the cutter
Using the single cutter as intended, you can predict some of the risks to your life and
health. To avoid existing hazards, the rules of using and operating the cutter must be
explained in detail. Special attention should be paid to the cutter units and situations
posing a threat to the operator and third parties:
DANGER!
The operator can operate the machine in good technical condition.
At the beginning of each work shift and after each knife replacement, check the operation of
the safety devices. Interference in security or bypassing them (eg safety light curtains, two-
handed controls) creates a danger to life or injury!

Operation Manual 5280 EPSHP
11
At the moment, the cutter can only support one operator!
The operator himself must also make sure that the machine is not operated by unauthorized
persons!

2.5 Description and evaluation of residual risk
intimus International GmbH takes responsibility for the construction of the guillotine in order
to eliminate the danger, although some risk elements during the cutting machine operation
are possible. Residual risk resulting from incorrect behavior of the cutter operator.
•Failure to follow the safety rules described in the operating instructions
•Using the machine for other purposes than those described in the user's manual
•Staying unauthorized persons, especially children, when cutting on the machine
•Unauthorized making any alterations
•Cleaning and lubrication of the cutter during operation
•Work with dismantled or defective covers
•Manipulation within the drive units and moving parts of the cutter during operation
•Checking the cutter's technical condition and performing servicing or repairs with the
cutting machine
•Checking transmission gears during operation
When presenting the residual risk, the cutter is treated as a device that was designed
and manufactured according to the state of the art in the year of its manufacture.
Residual risk assessment

•Operating the cutter by persons who have been previously trained and read the
operating instructions
•Cutter protection against access of children residual threats can be eliminated.
2.6 Safety systems used in the cutter
•Two-handed protective device - the cut is released by the two-handed cut start
system
•Non-contact protection device - an optoelectronic device that creates a safety
curtain
•Control system - position control at the upper turning point of the knife and the
pressure beam.
