1.2 Safety issues
The machine should be placed in an area where it can be ensured that unauthorised persons do not have access to it.
Read carefully this instruction manual on using the machine before starting the machine and using it. Follow safety instructions.
ONLY SPECIALLY TRAINED PERSONNEL SHOULD USE THE MACHINE, AND THEY MUST HAVE ATTENDED A COURSE HELD BY VELFAG EHF. ON THE USE, MAINTENANCE AND SETTINGS FOR M700 MACHINES!
It is forbidden to remove or change the manufacturer's safety equipment on the machine. Such actions will create hazards for the people working in and around the machine and invalidate the CE marking of the machine and its warranty conditions from the manufacturer.
The key (see T5 in equipment list page 5) to open the machine's safety guards should be supervised by and the responsibility of an employee who has completed training in the use of the filleting machine. Keep the key in a secure place where it can not be found by unauthorised persons.
Before using the machine you must:
1. Close all machine guards and covers. 2. Test the safety equipment; Emergency stop buttons should stop the machine: a) Emergency stop button (1) is located on the safety bar above the infeed area (13) b) Emergency stop button (2) is located on front of the machine by the infeed area (13) c) Emergency stop button (3) is located at the back of the machine by the scraper knife area (16)
During an emergency stop, the power supply to the machine will shut off, the machine stops and the circuit breaker in the fuse box will disconnect.
3. Cancelling an emergency stop command and restarting the machine: a) Press the Reset button (5) in the control box. b) If an emergency stop button on the machine (1, 2 or 3) has been used, it needs to be turned clockwise, so that it returns to its original position before the Reset button is pressed (5). c) After the reset, you can restart the machine: Press the Start button (4) on the control box.

1.3 Safety issues
DANGER! It is forbidden to open the machines' safety guards or work on the machine whilst the safety guards are open, unless the machine has first been stopped using the emergency button/ bar and all the machines power disconnected at the circuit breaker in the fuse box. If it is necessary to move the machine while the safety guards are open, use the emergency lever (see Figure 1.2).
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OPERATORS OF THE MACHINE:
DANGER! ACCIDENT HAZARD DUE TO MOVABLE CUTTER KNIVES, PARTS AND SADDLES USE CAUTION WHEN PREPARING, ADJUSTING, MAINTAINING AND REPAIRING:
1. The machine should be located where it can be ensured that unauthorised persons do not have access to it.
Ensure that an employee who works on or by the machine can call for help if there is danger from its use or from working by it.
Employees or other people who work on or by the filleting machine, filleting, cleaning, doing repairs, adjustments or other roles connected to the machine or in close proximity, should never work alone.
2. Never put your hands or other body parts into the infeed area (13), filleting area (14), scraper knife area (16) or any other part of the machine that has movable gears or processing equipment, when the machine is running or when the machine has not been disconnected using the emergency stop.
3. The machine operator must feed the machine by loading the fish onto the movable saddle (12), which conveys the fish into the machine for filleting. Extreme caution should be observed in this work so that hands are not hit by the saddles. Remove hands from fish before it goes into the infeed (13) and filleting areas (14).
4. NOTE! If you need to access the dangerous areas of the machine in order to unclog blockages / remove stuck items, calibrate the machine or take care of other maintenance and repairs, then you must, without exception, begin by disconnecting the machine using the emergency stop button in order to turn off the power to the machine. Use the emergency lever (17) to reverse/ run the machine forward during these operations.
Personal protective equipment:
When working on or using the machine, operators must use personal protective equipment that has been certified by the relevant regulatory agency. The personal protective equipment must protect the operator to the greatest extent possible from any anticipated and potential hazards relating to the use, adjustment, repair and maintenance of the machine, such as, but without being limited to:
Contact with sharp knives Blows or crushing resulting from movable machine parts e.g. saddles Foreign bodies that may be ejected from the raw materials during processing Water Cold Noise pollution Slippery floor and other slippery surfaces by or on the machine
Example:
Waterproof clothing, safety gloves woven with steel fibres, hearing protectors, rubber gloves, rubber sleeves, safety goggles, safety boots.
