1.3 MACHINE OPERATORS
CAUTION! FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, THIS MACHINE SHOULD BE USED BY SKILLED STAFF ONLY, AWARE
OF THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL WHICH FORMS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE
MACHINE.
The uncapping machine has been designed for operation by a single worker.
Basic technical and mechanical skills are required to correctly operate the machine and carry out maintenance
and basic servicing.
1.4 DIRECTIONS / RECOMMENDED AND NOT RECOMMENDED USE
For efficient machine operation, the frame wood thickness must be constant and the use of spacers is
recommended if the frames are not fitted with an Hoffman spacer.
The frames should not have any protruding parts e.g. nails.
We recommend using supers with spacers at least one notch down from the hive frame number (e.g. for a
10-frame beehive, use supers with 9 frames or better still, 8 frames).
This machine should be exclusively used for uncapping frames.
1.5 HANDLING / TRANSPORT
The uncapping machine cannot be lifted or handled manually by a single person. The machine can be
transported unpacked or in suitable packing (e.g. wooden crate).
Transport is normally carried out by appointed forwarders on the customer's own responsibility.
During transport, the crate containing the machine must be firmly secured with ropes or cables to prevent it
moving about.
The machine can be handled with lift trucks or pallet trucks.
The machine weighs approximately 49 kg, the lifting equipment must therefore be of adequate capacity.
PROCEED VERY SLOWLY WHEN HANDLING THE MACHINE!
