1.4 Intended use
The intended use (as defined in EN ISO 12100-1:2003, 3.12) of cubes cutting machines as dealt with in this
document is described in 1.1.
The product to be cut is fed manually or by the loading device/feed conveyor into the feed intake chamber.
The product is fed to the cutting unit by the forward feed plunger and/or by the nip roller or by centrifugal force
and size reduced.
Although it should be advised against, the document, taking into account practice, deals with the hazards due
to cleaning with pressurised water.
