GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Theslicingmachinehasbeendesignedandmadetooffermaximumsafetywheninuse,duringclean-
ingandordinarymaintenance;maximumhygienefromtheuseofinoxidisablematerialsoradequately
protectedagainstoxidisationtogetherwithanattentivedesignofallthepartsthatcomeintocontact
withfood;maximumcuttingprecisionandcapacitytogetherwithsturdinessandreliabilityofthestruc-
ture.
Themachineisessentiallymadeupofabasethatholdsacircularbladethatisverticallymountedanda
slidingcarriageonbars,paralleltothecuttingedgeoftheblade,whichinturnholdsafoodplate.
Thefoodplateismadeupofabaseplateandanoverplatewhichslidesatrightanglestotheedgeof
thebladeforslicingthefood;theoverplatealsohasanappropriateself-stoppingdevice,whichcanbe
regulatedinheight,tokeeptheproductinitsproperplaceduringcuttingoperations(foodpress).
Carriagemovementandbladerotationarecompletelymanual;byactivatingrotationoftheywheel
with the special handle the carriage is put into motion and at the same time with a chain transmission
the blade is turned.
Theproductiscutduringtheforwardmovementofthecarriage,paralleltotheblade;thethickness
ofthesliceisregulatedbyamechanicaldevicewhichisautomaticallystartedeverytimethecarriage
comesback,makingtheslidingoverplatetransversallytowardstheblade,withavaluewhichisprede-
termined by the graduated handwheel.
Allthecomponentsofthemachinearemadeofalightaluminiumalloy,instainlesssteelandplasticfor
food products as according to the sanitary regulations in force.
Themachinehasasharpenerwhichisextremelyeasyandsafetouse.
Thefoodplate,sharpenerandbladecovercanberemovedforcleaning.

DONOTusethemachineifyouarenotinperfectpsycho-physicalconditionandDONOTletanyone
comenearduringuse;concentratewhenloadingandcuttingtheproduct;payattention!
Onlycutproductswhichareallowed;DONOTtrycuttingproductswhichareforbidden.
DURINGCLEANING,LUBRICATIONANDBLADESHARPENINGALWAYSUSEPROTEC-

INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION OF MACHINE
Ifasupportcolumnisnotused,installthemachine
onasurfacewhichislevel,dryandsuitableforthe
weight of the machine plus the food to be sliced.
Check that there is nothing that can get in the way of
theywheel,carriagemovementandfoodloading.
MANEUVERING FLYWHEEL
Theywheel(1)turnedclockwiseallowsthecar-
riagetobemovedwiththefoodplatewithsimulta-
neous blade rotation.
REGULATING KNOB FOR SLICE THICK-
NESS
The thickness of the slice is regulated by turning
thegraduatedscaleknob(2)clockwise.
OVERPLATE ADVANCE HANDWHEEL
Thehandwheel(3)allowstheoverplatewiththe
product to be brought quickly near to the blade after
loading it or taken away from the blade after cut-
ting or for small regulations.

2. Pullbacktheslidingoverplate(3)completely(awayfromtheblade)usingthehandwheel(4).
3. Placethefoodtobeslicedontheoverplateandblockitwiththefoodpress(5)regulatingthe
height as well.
4. Regulatethethicknessoftheslicebypullingandrotatingtheknob(6)atthesametime,gradu-
atedfrom0to16.
5. Bringtheoverplatewiththegoodstowardsthebladebyusingtherapidadvanceleverorthe
handwheel.
CUTTING THE GOODS
1. Turntheywheelclockwise(donotturnitcounterclockwise,thiscouldseriouslydamagethe
machine).
2. Duringtheforwardmovementofthecarriage(awayfromtheoperator)thegoodswillgointo
thebladeandtheslice,guidedbytheslicedeector,willfallontotheplatebelow.
3. Duringthereturnmovementofthecarriage(towardstheoperator)themechanicaldevicewhich
makestheoverplateadvancetransversallytowardsthebladewillbeputintomotion,itsvalue
