AUTOPSY SAW EPA / EPA3K ,,ELECTRONIC POWER‘‘
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The autopsy saw „Electronic Power” is an oscillating saw for using in pathology departments for autopsy (post-
mortem).
For proper changing of the saw blades please use the attached wrenches. It is important that the excenter is not
overstrained. In order to avoid wear and tear as well as any heating of the saw, we highly recommend replacing worn
and blunt saw blades in time. Please be aware, that saw blades have sharp cutting edges. This has to be considered
during use as well as when replacing them. Caution of injuries!
After use any dust, blood or similar should be wiped off the saw and the blade with a dry cloth. The saw should not be
soaked in any liquids (like water etc.) or be washed or even covered on. If disinfection is required, it has to be carried
out by using appropriate diluted disinfecting solutions.
The saw should be only wiped by a damp cloth (do not cover it).
It is important that no liquids or steam enter the equipment. Please unplug the saw before cleaning.
The saw (compete with motor) should not be sterilized. Only saw head (driving gear) is to be treated by autoclave with
steam only! Do not treat electric motor by autoclave, avoid penetration of water and other liquids and/or damps!
DISMANTLING: Remove hexagon head screw, safety loop and saw blade. Loosen the 2 hexagon socket head cap
screws. Remove saw head (driving gear) of the electric autopsy saw and treat only by autoclave.
ASSEMBLAGE: Effected in the other way around. It is very important to grease the oscillating crank well before
assembling. The saw is maintenance-free. The saw should not be used in areas with danger of explosion.
Before using the saw, it ought to be checked for any mechanical damage. Furthermore, the saw should not be used
and has to be sent for a supervision, if it has been dropped onto the floor. Please do not tempt to repair it, as this will
void your warranty and additional defects may occur.
In order to assure proper disposal, the autopsy saw can be disposed by us or third parties.
Blunt saw blades (clean and sterilized) have to be disposed off by using the recycling process (steel-/ metal raw
materials).
The autopsy saw is switched off/on by a security switch. By switching on the saw a high running-up electricity is
effected for a short time. The electronic system avoids that the fuses will adversely react (limitation of the running-up
electricity). After the warming-up to the selected frequency of oscillations, the full power of the saw can be used. If
you start your saw carefully, all mechanical and electrical parts will be protected. The risk of injuries is reduced by a
smooth starting.
The security switch assures that at no time the autopsy saw will be overstrained. In case of overloading, e.g. by
blocking the drive, the motor will be switched off immediately. Thanks to the security switch, the saw can be used after
a short break.
The autopsy saw is developed in accordance with EMV norm EN 60601-1-2.
The regulation of the motor performance is on the rear of the motor (close to the cable connection) and therefore
won’t disturb the user during use. At the control button the frequency of oscillations required can be infinitely variably
selected from 6500 up to 24000. Once the selected, the oscillations will remain constant, if the motor is in neutral or
during the cutting.
