4.3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The slicing machine has been designed and made to offer
maximum safety when in use, during cleaning 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 structure.
The machine is essentially mad
e 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 r
ight angles to the edge of the
blade for slicing the food; the overplate also has an
appropriate selfstopping 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 flywheel 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 fo
rward 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 pre-
determined 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.

5. INSTALLATION
5.1 INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE
If a support column (optional) 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;
refer to paragraph 3.1.
Check that there is nothing that can get in the way of
the flyw
heel, carriage movement and food loading.
5.2 COMMAND DESCRIPTION
5.2.1 MANOEUVRING FLYWHEEL
The flywheel (1) turned clockwise allows the carriage
to be moved with the food plate with simultaneous
blade rotation.
5.2.2 REGULATING KNOB FOR SLICE THICKNESS
The thickness of the slice is regulated by turning
the graduated scale knob (2) clockwise.
Regulating field: see paragraph 3.2.
5.2.3 OVERPLATE ADVANCE HANDWHEEL
The handwheel (3) allows the overplate with the
p
roduct to be brought quickly near to the blade after
loading it or taken away from the blade after cutting or
for small regulations.
5.2.4 OVERPLATE RAPID ADVANCE LEVER
By moving it downwards and keeping it there, the lever
(4), allows rapid movement of
the overplate, towards the
blade or away from it after cutting.This operation is
much quicker than with the handwheel (3).

-
Pull back the sliding overplate (3) completely (away from
the blade) using the handwheel (4) or the rapid advance
lever (5);
-
Place the food to be sliced on the overplate and block
it with the food press (6) regulating the height as well;
- Regulate the thi
ckness of the slice by pulling and
rotating the knob (7) at the same time, graduated from
