Residual hazards 

As the cutter is intended for industrial use on carcasses, there is a possibility of injury or, in case of gross 
misuse, of 

fatal

 injury. Therefore, in case of misuse, the possibility of immediate death or death by blood loss 

must be expected. 
Consequently, always pay attention to the correct handling of the machine. 

To generate force, the cutter requires a pneumatic unit and a control unit. 

The machine itself cannot build up pressure. 
Force build-up occurs only in conjunction with the connected pressure generating unit and associated air 
hoses. 

1.5

All technical information, data and instructions for the operation of the machine contained in the operating 
instructions are up to date at the time of delivery. They are provided to the best of the manufacturer's 
knowledge, taking into account previous experience and knowledge. The manufacturer reserves the right to 
make technical modifications in the course of further development of the machine described in these operating

Technical changes 

The manufacturer 

Schmid & Wezel GmbH

 reserves the right to make technical changes within the scope of 

improving the usage properties and further development without prior notice. Figures are for basic 
understanding and could differ from the actual design of the system.
