diagrams put on the machine because this might be hazardous for the operator.
• Omcan and the dealer cannot be held responsible for the consequences stemming from behaviors which
are not in listed in this handbook, warnings, diagrams for the machine.
• Not complying with the instructions indicated in this handbook, warnings or diagrams for the machine voids
any warranty and can also have legal repercussions in the case of an accident.
WARNING! Do not alter the machine and its assembly system in any way (not even a minimum change is
allowed). Remember that any change:
• Is a breach of the laws in force and might have a strong criminal repercussion in the case of an accident
both for the person who carried out the change and the person who ordered it;
• Any explicit and/or implicit warranty expires;
• Relieves Omcan and the dealer from any liability.
WARNING! Never damage or alter any component of the machine since all components are directly or
indirectly necessary for your safety.
WARNING! Any use not explicitly allowed by Omcan is absolutely forbidden and may be hazardous; it is a
breach of safety rules in force and liability now rests on both for the person who gives the instruction and the
person who carries it out.
WARNING! Although several safety measures have been listed, dangers still exist cannot be totally reduced
through the design and the safeguarding techniques. Such dangers are called “non-eliminable residual
hazards” and are potentially dangerous; carefully read and understand this handbook, all warnings and the
diagrams for the machine. It is mandatory to comply with all the instructions, with no exceptions.
The machine must not be used by persons under age of 18 (eighteen).The use of the machine is forbidden to
people with physical or mental disability. People under the effect of alcohol, psychotropic drugs, narcotics (soft
and heavy drugs) must not use the machine at any time. The machine has to be used by one (1) operator who
is trained with the machine’s functioning. The machine must never be used by more than one operator. The
machine is not designed for non-professional use. All activities have to be performed by trained personnel;
use and maintenance for butchers; repairs carried out by technicians; dismissal by relevant operators. If the
machine is left for a prolong period of time (examples: end of shift; weekend; holidays, bank holidays and
permissions; absence for any reason), never leave it switched on or connected to the power supply. Make
sure the drive is not running to avoid the useless consumption of power and for safety reasons. All the above
circumstances do not depend on Omcan but rather the person in charge of the machine. At the end of each
shift, the machine has to be switched off and put in the emergency stop by pushing the red button. If the
control board is equipped with a safety key for the startup (optional device), the operator must remove this key
and keep it carefully without giving it to anybody else. The machine must never be used, even occasionally,
by staffs who have not been trained and who are not formally authorized. If the operator is not trained, the
supervision of a qualied operator acting as a trainer is necessary. Remind anyone using the machine that care
and safety must be used to avoid accidents and increase working safety. The machine is supplied with guards
and safety devices which must not be removed or modied; all people using the machine must make sure the
machine is always equipped with original guard.

Safety and Warranty
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT IN CONFORMITY WITH CURRENT RULES: all the following
personal protective equipment (PPE) has to be in conformity with relevant technical rules in force (Directive no.
89/656/CEE and following amendments and updates) and therefore has to be EC-marked and have relevant
declaration of conformity which usually refers to specic European (EN) technical rules of the harmonized
type. The operators must always inform the employer, manager and/or representative of the anomalies in the
operation or characteristics of the use of their personal protective equipment.
HEAD: It is mandatory to use a cap to keep the hair gathered and to avoid entanglement within the moving
elements; also for hygienic reasons, the cap must always be clean and must be able to retain all hair.
EYES: To protect the eyes from bone splinters or accidental blade breaking, the wearing of safety glasses is
mandatory.
NOSE, MOUTH: To protect the respiratory tract from toxic emissions, pieces of meat or similar substances
under processing, the operator must wear a ltering mask. It is also necessary to wear a ltering mask for
hygienic reasons. The masks have to be replaced when they show signs of dirt or partial clogging or 2 (two)
working days.
EARS: The machine does not produce a loud noise and according to the tests performed it produces a level
of continuous acoustic pressure equivalent weighted “A” of 82 dB(A) ± 1 dB(A) vacuum and of 88 dB(A) ± 1
dB(A) in the dry cutting of bones particularly big and strong. Ear protectors (protective headset) are strongly
recommended and workers must be instructed on their correct use. The use of new blades or very sharp
blades and water-lubrication of the cutting area of bones contribute to reducing the noise. The duration of the
noise, the characteristics of the buildings, and the noise of adjacent machines contribute to a louder noise.
Submit workers to regular health checks.
LIMBS AND BODY (what not to do): Never wear rings, wrist watches, bracelets, jewelry, torn dresses, loose
clothing, scarves, ties, loose belts as they might get entangled and cause serious accidents.
LIMBS AND BODY (what to do): For the protection of the operator, always wear overalls or coats with elastic
cuffs; both have to be wore tight, without leaving them open or just partially tight; tighten the sleeves around
the cuffs and always keep your hair gathered in a cap.
FEET: it is mandatory to wear safety shoes with steel toes to protect the feet from the fall of heavy objects (the
machine itself or its spare parts or big blocks of frozen food).

Maintenance
WARNING! Before any cleaning and/or maintenance and/or check, switch the machine off (rotational device
positioned “O” = OFF) and then disconnect the power cord from the socket. Cleaning, maintenance or check,
no exceptions, have to performed when the machine is not connected to the power supply.
Before restarting the machine, make sure that no one is touching it. The use and the regular cleaning of the
machine will reduce the need for extraordinary maintenance and repair; the daily cleaning of the machine is
an important factor to promptly detect possible defects or damages. At least once a week, clean the machine
with a soft, dry cloth which does not lose its fabric on the rubbed surfaces. Avoid using petrol, solvents and
any other type of detergent on the non-metallic parts which can be exclusively cleaned with a neutral and
non-foamy water-based detergent. Never use abrasive products, chlorate substances, wire wools, brushes of
any type, scrapers, etc., only use small brushes having sufciently rigid bristles and cloths which do not lose
fabrics, bers or fragments.
WARNING! The machine must never be washed with pressurized water jets.
WARNING! The machine does not need lubrication or greasing since it is equipped with self- lubricating
bearings.
WARNING! After a thorough visual check at the beginning of each shift, pay attention to:
• The cleanness inside the machine while paying special attention to the areas close to the pulleys; if
necessary, clean and sanitize them;
9. To cut other slices having a different thickness, repeat step 5 onward;
10. If the height of the material to cut varies of more than 1 cm when cutting more slices, go back to 1.

15
Maintenance
• The cleanness of the lower container gathering the processed waste; if necessary, clean and sanitize it;
• The condition of the power cable located outside the machine body;
• The condition of the switchboard and the control buttons (check whether there are cracks, splintering,
scratches, distortions, cuts, etc.);
• The working of all safety devices: the rotational device positioned “O” = OFF and door interblock
microswitch; then all the remaining safety devices already listed;
If damaged or bad working components are detected, do not allow staff to use the machine and put a warning
about the prohibition on it; then contact the dealer or Omcan for maintenance.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
In order to preserve the machine for a very long period when switched off the following rules must be abided
by:
• Disconnect the power cable from the socket,
• Do not lay objects on the machine and make sure that the place of storage is dry, not humid, dust-free,
clean and free from insects or other animals and protected against bad weather conditions or other agents
(for example, atmospheric agents, drops of water or other liquids, pollution) which might damage it; the
place must not be subject to considerable temperature ranges;
• Abide by the data of the machine technical specication indicated earlier in the operating handbook;
• If the original packing is still available, put the machine into it or cover it with a piece of cloth of nylon,
cellophane, polyethylene or other material of suitable size and package it to avoid it being damaged due to
falls or damaged by other materials which might enter into contact with it.
It is also forbidden to leave or scatter the machine or any of its parts in the environment. It is also forbidden to
dispose it in the container for solid urban waste; if the machine is no longer used, deliver it to qualied disposal
facilities or authorized dealers.
