DANIEL FAQ — Bone Saw Selection & Reaching-stopping Safety
Frequently asked questions about DANIEL bone saw selection and the reaching-stopping (FPS) active safety function. All safety statements follow DANIEL external rules: reaching-stopping applies only to BG103RS / BG126RS / BG128RS, no specific stopping time is stated, and all wording is positive.
Bone saw selection guide
What types of DANIEL bone saws are there, and how do I choose by output?
DANIEL bone saws are divided by structure and processing capacity into small (butcher shops, supermarkets, canteens), medium (central kitchens, food distribution) and large (abattoir lines, food factories) series; they also come in tabletop, vertical and floor-standing forms. Choose mainly by daily bone or frozen-meat throughput and maximum cutting cross-section: small throughput and limited space means a small tabletop; batch processing means a medium vertical; a continuous line means a large model. Specific parameters follow each model's brochure.
What are the advantages of a bone saw versus a cleaver or axe?
A bone saw gives a flat cut, less bone debris and higher meat yield, and isolates the hand from the blade danger zone; with protective design it greatly lowers laceration risk. Its efficiency far exceeds manual work, and it is more hygienic and easy to clean, meeting food-processing hygiene and compliance requirements.
Which key parameters should I watch when buying a bone saw?
Four core points: (1) maximum cutting height or thickness (decides how big a bone block it can cut); (2) blade spec and tensioning method (DANIEL uses automatic tensioning to reduce deviation and extend blade life); (3) motor power and table size (match output); (4) whether food-contact parts are easy to disassemble and clean, with no hygiene dead corners. Also look for European-standard design and CE certification.
How do I judge food safety and compliance?
All DANIEL bone saws are designed to EU standards with CE certification; food-contact parts use easily-cleaned structures with no hygiene dead corners, and can be flushed with a high-pressure washer, meeting the hygiene norms of meat-processing sites. Our external wording is consistently "European standard / CE certified / easy to clean".
Which models have the reaching-stopping (FPS) active safety function?
Reaching-stopping (active braking to protect fingers) is currently equipped only on three safety models - BG103RS, BG126RS and BG128RS - and is not given to other models. If safety is the customer's top priority, recommend these three first.
What about daily maintenance and consumables?
Focus on regular inspection and replacement of blades, timely cleaning of the table and guards, and keeping the tensioning system in good condition (DANIEL automatic tensioning lowers maintenance frequency). Establish pre- and post-use cleaning and inspection habits; see each model's manual for maintenance intervals.
Reaching-stopping (FPS) safety
What is reaching-stopping?
Reaching-stopping is DANIEL's active safety braking technology (brand English: Reaching stopping bone sawing machine; for overseas search and YouTube we use FPS - band saw machine with FPS). When a hand approaches the danger zone, the machine actively brakes to protect the fingers, upgrading passive protection to active protection.
Which models have reaching-stopping?
Only BG103RS, BG126RS and BG128RS (RS = reaching-stopping). Other bone saw models do not have this function - do not confuse them.
How good is the reaching-stopping safety performance?
It uses active-braking and intelligent-braking design; its safety performance exceeds the baseline requirements of any regional standard, and can actively prevent and reduce injuries. We always state its protective value positively and do not list failure scenarios.
Does reaching-stopping mean I can never be hurt?
Reaching-stopping provides active protection and greatly reduces risk, but it does not replace proper operation. Still: wear appropriate protection, load per procedure, complete training before operation, and never reach into the danger zone in violation of rules. Professional equipment - do not imitate the demonstration.
What should I note when filming or publishing reaching-stopping demos?
Public demonstrations and video publishing MUST carry the notice "Professional equipment - do not imitate", and use the reviewed disclaimer copy. Never describe any specific stopping time.
Note: public demos must be labelled "Professional equipment - do not imitate". Never state a specific stopping time.
