UNIFLEX-Hydraulik – 7 – www.uniflex.de
We grant a warranty of 12 months on our machines, valid from the passing of liability. A condition for this is that
enclosed UNIFLEX-accessories or by UNIFLEX tested and approved material is being used and the operation is
done in accordance to this manual.
Informal safety measures
The instruction manual is to be kept together with the machine at all times. General as well as local regulations for
accident prevention and environmental protection are to be displayed and adhered to in addition to the instruction
manual. All security and danger notes on the machine are to be kept in a readable condition.
Training of the personnel
Only adequately trained and instructed personnel should be authorized to work at the machine. The responsibilities
of the personnel as to the assembly, start up, operation, maintenance and repair of the machine should be clearly
defined. Personnel undergoing training should only work at the machine under the supervision of an experienced
person.
Control of the hose cutting and skiving machine
Under no circumstances may the control system be modified in any way!
Safety measures for normal operation
The machine must only be operated when all protective coverings have been mounted correctly. Prior to switching
on the machine it must be certain that no-one can be injured or endangered by the starting machine. Inspect the
outside of the machine at least once during every shift to check for any damages. After finishing working with the
machine switch it off on the main switch.
Hazards caused by electrical energy
Only qualified electricians should carry out work on the electric power supply. The electrical components of the
machine need to be checked at regular intervals. Any loose connections and damaged cables should be repaired
immediately. The housing must always be kept closed. Access should only be permitted to authorized personnel.
Warning:
If work on live parts of the machine is required, a second individual shall be present to operate the
machine Power switch in case of emergency.
Maintenance and servicing, trouble-shooting
Carry out prescribed maintenance work on time. Inform operating personnel before you begin with the maintenance
and servicing work. Always make sure that the machine is off circuit when any maintenance, inspection or repair
work is to be carried out and that the main switch cannot be switched on unintendedly (i.e. by securing it
accordingly). Put up a warning sign prohibiting any third persons from starting up the machine. Make sure that all
connections are firmly tightened. Mount all protective and safety guards again as soon as the maintenance work
has been completed.
Constructional modifications of the machine
The hose skiving machine may not be modified and no parts may be built on or modified without the manufacturer’s
approval. Any modifications need to be confirmed in writing by UNIFLEX-Hydraulik GmbH. Any parts that are not in
perfect working order should be replaced immediately. Only original spare parts and wearing parts should be used.
It cannot be guaranteed that other parts are designed and manufactured in such a way that they will meet the
safety requirements.
Cleaning the machine and waste disposal
All substances and materials used have to be handled and disposed of properly, in particular when work with
lubricants was carried out.
The national regulations on waste disposal have to be observed.

UNIFLEX-Hydraulik – 8 – www.uniflex.de
Security installations
The main switch is located at the front of the machine on the operating board.
Emergency switch
Note:
The emergency switch must be activated in all situations where injuries of people or damage on the
machine can arise:
When operating this switch, the cutting and brushing devices of the machine stop within 10 seconds.
Security devices
The cutting and brushing machine has a security device, which protects the operator from contact with the cutting
knife:
Test the correct functioning of the knife protection
Once a week test the functioning of the knife protection. See chapter >maintenance< in this operating manual.
Prior to every switching on of the machine all safety devices have to be assembled correctly, they have to function
correctly and they must be closed. They may only be removed by authorized personnel after a complete standstill
and after protecting against a startup of the machine.
When additional parts are supplied at a later date, the owner shall be responsible for mounting any warning labels
and safety devices delivered with such parts on the machine according to regulations.
Personal safety
Irrespective of the local accident prevention regulations, the following instructions should be observed as a means
of protecting the health and safety of the maintenance and operating personnel:
•Never reach into the skiving machine during operation.
•Always keep a copy of the operating instructions at the place of use of the machine.
•Make sure that all safety and danger notices on the machine are always legible.
•Only operate the machine when all safety devices are in perfect working order.
•Before starting up the hydraulic unit, make sure that no-one can be endangered by the running machine.
•Do not place any objects on the floor near the workplace.
•Do not wear loose clothing.
•Remove any jewelry, watches and rings.
•Wear working gloves.
•Wear safety glasses.
•Wear ear protection when cutting with EM 3.4 DC / EM 3.2 Ecoline.
A danger for the health and safety of the operator does not arise during correct use of the machine. However, we
point to the following dangerous areas
