1.2.1 Improper use

The unit is not equipped for any other form of
use. Should the operator wish to use the unit in
some other way, please consult Schmid &
Wezel GmbH & Co. (S&W) beforehand.
Use in any other way may result in a risk of
accidents and increased wear to the blade.
The user alone is liable for the consequences
of any other form of use.
The splitting saw may be hazardous when
operated by untrained personnel in an
improper manner or for unintended purposes.

1.3 Residual risks

Since the splitting saw is intended for industrial
use on animal carcasses, there is a risk of
injuring yourself and, in the case of extreme
misuse, of fatally injuring others. Improper use
of the saw could thus lead to instant death or
to death by bleeding. Therefore, be sure to
always use the machine in the proper manner.
The uncovered section of the sawing belt is
particularly hazardous. Work with utmost
concentration and care. Wear personal
protective equipment.
1.4 Who is authorised to use the
belt saw?
The belt saw may only be used by personnel
who are over 16 years of age, have received
the necessary training and have the required
skills to be assigned such work. Authorisation
regarding operation must be clearly defined
and followed.
The saw must not be used by persons
suffering from the effects of alcohol,
medication or drugs.
Maintenance and repair work requires special
knowledge and may, therefore, only be carried
out by trained, expert personnel.
