There is a magnetic connector (a, rys. 7) on the
sharpening tool: the device operates only when
the sharpener is properly positioned.
When the sharpener is removed during operation
the device stops. When the sharpener is properly
repositioned the device does not start automa-
tically but it needs to be switched on with the
white button ”ON” (I) .

5.1.2 Location
Place the device in the required place.
Place the device on an even, dry and
stable surface.
When selecting the place take into
consideration the dimensions of the
device (Section 4.1 “Technical
specification“). Provide enough space to
securely operate the device.
The operator has to be constantly able to
see the ON/OFF switch and slice
thickness adjustment.
To securely use the slicer, keep at
least 20 cm distance (fig. 14) from the
slicer and walls, objects, cupboards,
etc.
The distance from the floor should be
approx. 80 cm.
The air humidity in the installation room
should be max. 75%, the air need to be
free of salt and the temperature should be
in the range from +5 °C to +35 °C; the
slicer should be always installed in the
rooms where the proper operation of the
device can be ensured.
Fig. 14
Make sure that the slice thickness
adjustment is set to “0”.
Check the compatibility of the blade
with the movable slice thickness wall
by swiping the finger in the direction
from the blade towards the movable
slice thickness wall (fig. 15), never the
other way round.
Screw in the supplied feet, adjust them
and then attach the rubber element. (1,
2, fig. 15).
Fig. 15
Always keep the workplace clean, dry and tidy.

5.1.3 Connection
DANGER! Electric shock hazard!
The device can cause injuries due to improper installation!
Before installation and connecting the local power grid specification should
be compared with that of the device (see rating plate). Connect the device only
in case of compliance!
Place the device so that the plug is easily accessible so as to quickly disconnect the
device if the need arises.
The power supply circuit with the socket must be protected by the fuse of at least 16A.
Connect the device directly to a single grounded socket. Do not use any power bar or
multiple socket.
5.2 Operation
CAUTION!
The device can only be used by a qualified operator who is aware of
safety regulations included in this manual and operation instructions.
5.2.1 Operation check before use
Check before starting the device:
Check the rotating blade direction by pressing
the button “ON“ (I) of the device ON/OFF
switch (13) and immediately after that press the
black button STOP “OFF“ (O) and switch off
the device.
When looking from the side of the blade
protection, the blade should be rotating
clockwise (fig. 16).
Fig. 16

- 45 -
Make sure that the tray is securely attached and
then proceed in the following way to check if the
device operates:
-Press the white switch button ”ON“ (I) and
then the black switch button STOP “OFF“
(O) (fig. 17);
-When the device is on, check if the device
starts automatically when it has been
unplugged and plugged again.
Fig. 17
At the first start follow the instructions:
-Check if the installation has been properly
performed according to the instructions in
section 5.1 „Installation“;
-Check if the tray has been properly
attached using the carriage locking knob
(1, fig. 18).
Fig. 18
-Check the sliding ability of the
tray and pay attention that during
checking there are no obstacles
in the way on the working table
(a, fig. 19),
-Check the movement of the pusher
handle - it should be easily lifted
and lowered.
Fig. 19
-Check the opening of the movable slice
thickness wall using the slice thickness
adjustment by rotating it clockwise or anti-
clockwise (c, fig. 20).
Fig. 20

-Make sure that the sharpener is properly attached
and can be easily removed (d, fig. 21).
Fig. 21
5.2.2 Loading and cutting
CAUTION!
Before loading the slicer the slice thickness adjustment need to be set at “0”
and the device must be switched off.
Assume the proper position to preclude direct contact with the blade.
Proceed in the following way:
1. Lift the pusher handle (4) and put the product to be sliced on the food carriage
tray (6) so that it is between the movable cut thickness wall (16) and the pusher
handle (4).
WARNING! Injury hazard!
In order to avoid accidents, always use the pusher handle (4) to push the
product to be sliced to the cut thickness movable wall (16)!
2. Set the desired slice thickness with the slice
thickness adjustment.
3. Assume the right position to avoid accidents:
hold the pusher handle (5) with the right hand
and place the left hand ready next to the cold
meats guide (21) in order to remove the cut
slices (do not touch the blade).
4. Make sure to stand in a vertical position in
relation to the working table. (fig. 22).
Fig. 22

- 47 -
CAUTION
Never take the position when the hands,
fingers or other parts of the body may come
into contact with the blade! (Fig. 23).
5. Turn the device on by pressing the white START
button of the device switch (13). The ON/OFF
control light comes on. (12).
6. Slowly move the carriage (8) (carriage tray +
pusher handle + grip) by slightly pressing the
product towards the blade (1).
The product to be sliced comes into contact with
the blade (1); the slice slides via the cold meats
guide and falls on the slice tray (15) positioned
behind the movable cut thickness wall (16) (fig. 24).
7. When the cutting operations have been
finished switch off the slicer with the black
button STOP “OFF“ (O) of the ON/OFF
switch of the device (13) and the slice
thickness adjustment set to “0”. Do not allow
the device to run idle.
Fig. 23
Fig. 24
8. The sliced product can be now removed from the slice tray.
9. When the surface of the sliced product becomes frayed or coarse and the cutting
operations become cumbersome, the blade need sharpening (5.2.3 „Blade
sharpening“).
WARNING!
Never put hands between the pusher handle (4) and the knife (1) or the
movable slice thickness wall (16) until it is completely closed (slice thickness
adjustment (11) set to “0”).
Keep hands away from the blade (1) during operation. Use the pusher grip (5).
