Accessories
Note, read carefully!
This manual is intended for the unit operator.
Keep it in a safe place!
The rib saw may only be operated:
•
when in a technically safe condition, for its
intended use and in accordance with the
applicable safety and accident prevention
regulations,
•
with all the safety devices attached,
•
in accordance with the safety precautions,
and
•
after the operating personnel have read and
understood these instructions, especially
Chapter 2 "Safety Instructions" and Chapter
3 "Inbetriebnahme und Betriebssicherheit".

1.2 Intended use

The rib saw is intended for light dismembering
work, particularly for sawing pork ribs as well
as dismembering calves and game.
Rib saws from Schmid & Wezel (S&W) comply
to all the applicable safety regulations.

1.2.1 Unintended 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.
Schmid & Wezel
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 saw can represent a hazard if used by
untrained personnel in an improper way or for
unintended purposes.

1.3 Residual risks

Since the Rib 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 could thus
lead to instant death or to death by bleeding.
Therefore, be sure to always use the machine
in the proper manner.
1.4 Who is authorised to use the
rib saw?
The Rib 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.
1.5 Reconstructions and
modifications to the rib saw
For reasons of safety, unauthorised
modifications to the saw are not permitted.
Spare parts and accessories have been
specially developed for the rib saws. We make
explicit reference to the fact that we do not
approve spare parts and special equipment not
supplied by us.
The assembly and/or use of such products
may have a negative effect on the active and
passive safety of the product.
Schmidt & Wezel are not liable for any claims
under the terms of warranty in the case of
damage resulting from the use of non-
authorised spare parts and special models.
