1.4 - Machine description
The bone saw you have purchased is a safe and reliable machine that is simple to
use. The pulleys are in aluminum while its body and accessories are in stainless
steel type AISI 304. The bone saw has guards installed that are both mechanical
(housing, doors, etc.) and electrical (micro-switch, stop button, etc.), which are
meant to reduce the operator's exposure to risks during its use to a bare minimum.
The tilting angle of the pulley can be horizontally and vertically adjusted, so as to
always ensure maximum blade adhesion. The engine is ventilated and well-
protected against water and intermittent operation. The control panel is installed in
an easily accessible position and features 24V control buttons. Special care has
been given to facilitate cleaning tasks when designing the machine, thanks in par-
ticular to the following technical measures:
- simple removal of the blade and upper pulley without the need for tools,
- Once the pulley is removed, the machine's surface is smooth, making it easier to
clean and allowing dirt on the blade to directly deposit in its tray.
- all its electrical parts have been manufactured to provide the minimum safety
standard IP 56.
1.5 - Intended use
The bone saw has been designed and manufactured to cut bone and frozen fresh
meat and fish. Use the bone saw only on top of a table or on the stand supplied by
the manufacturer. Given its use to saw foodstuffs, the materials used to manufac-
ture the blade and all other components that may make contact with the cut prod-
uct have been carefully selected. The bone saw is an industrial appliance and only
skilled professionals should use the machine, after having carefully read this man-
ual. This equipment complies with the essential health and safety requirements of
directive 2006/42 / EC and the requirements of directives 2014/30/EU, 2014/35/
EU, 2006/42/EC, RoHs 2011/65/EU and Regulation 1935/2004/EC. The machine
was designed and built according to the requirements of EN 12268: 2014.
Since it is also suitable to cut frozen fish, the bone saw does not require special
environmental conditions. We nonetheless advi se you to store it away indoors,
protected against bad weather and abrupt temperature changes.
1.6 - Improper use

and properly assembled, so as to avoid the risk of personal injury.
- Do not use the machine with a worn or unsharpened blade, as it may break.
- Do not climb with your feet onto the machine, even if is off, as this could dam-
age the machine, besides the risk for the operator of falling.
- Do not access the electrical components without having first cut off power to the
machine: danger: risk of electrocution.
- Do not use the machine to cut anything other than meat, bone or fish.
- Do not stop the blade with your hands, but wait for it stop of its own, so as to
avoid the risk of severe personal injury.
- Do not wear rings, wrist-watches, jewelry, loose or draping clothing, like shoes,
