The operator must use items of clothing approved for accident prevention such as
work gloves made from kevlar that are compliant with the health & safety standards
suitable for contact with food and for the handling of blades. Consult the employer with
regard to the current safety regulations and the safety measures to be adopted.
The cutter should be installed indoors, protected from the weather and from extreme
temperature fluctuations.

1.6 - Improper use

The cutter must only be used for the purposes approved by the manufacturer; more
specifically:
- Do not use the machine to mix foodstuffs other than meat or vegetables.
- Do not use the machine if it is not properly installed with all the safety guards intact
and assembled correctly, in order to avoid the risk of severe personal injury.
- Do not access the electrical components without having previously cut-off power
supply to the machine: doing so entails the risk electrocution.
- Do not process products in quantities exceeding the total capacity of the tank.
- Do not wear clothing that does not comply with the applicable accident prevention
regulations. Consult your employer as to the applicable safety regulations and safety
devices to be used.
- Do not start the machine if it is malfunctioning. Before using the machine, make sure
that you have removed/solved any safety-threatening condition. If you notice any
kind of malfunction or flaw, stop the machine and warn those responsible for main-
tenance.
- Do not allow unauthorised personnel to perform operations on the machine. Urgent
treatment in case of an accident caused by electric current requires first of all pulling
the injured person away from the machine (as the person will have likely lost con-
sciousness). This is a hazardous operation. The injured person in this case is an
electric conductor: touch him means getting electrocuted. It is advisable to discon-
nect the contacts directly from the line valve or, if this is not possible, to move the
victim using insulating materials (sticks of wood or PVC, fabric, leather, etc.).
It is advisable to have medical staff intervene immediately and to hospitalise the vic-
tim.
- Do not use the machine in environments where there are gases in the atmosphere
that involve a high chance of combustion.
- Do not perform any operation without prior authorisation.
- Follow the procedures given for maintenance and technical assistance.
