•instruction booklet for installation,
use and maintenance.
2.1 - General description
The slicer is mainly constituted by a
footing which supports a circular blade
mounted in an inclined position, driven
by an electric motor, which has the
function of slicing food products and by
a carriage sliding on rails, placed under
the abovementioned footing, which on its
turn supports a carriage plate, parallel to
the blade.
The slice thickness is adjustable thanks
to agauge plate placed before the
blade; This plate, against which rests
the product to be cut, can be moved
transversely with respect to the blade by
a value corresponding to the desired slice
thickness.
The product is fed to the machine
(towards the gauge plate) by weight
(gravity).
All components of the machine are in
aluminium alloy polished and anodically
oxidized, varnished, in stainless steel and
plastic material for food use.
The cutting blade is driven by an electric
motor and the motion transmission is
obtained witha longitudinally groovedbelt.
Startandstop areperformedwithabutton
provided with auxiliary circuit preventing
accidental restarts after an outage.
The machine incorporates (in some
versions) a sharpener built for ease of
use and safety.

•Transparent handguardmountedonthe
product tray.
•Safety microswitch (excludes the
chance of the motor activation if the
blade plate has been removed).
•See the technical specifications chart.
3.1 - Residual risks
During slicer use, cleaning and maintenance operations,
notwithstanding all the possible cautions taken during
the design and the construction of the machine, residual
risks (cutting) still exist during use or during cleaning or
maintenance. Therefore be careful and PAY THE UTMOST
ATTENTIONtowhatyouaredoing.DO NOTusethe machineif
