1.5 Machine description GENERAL
6.080.98.5.10.03
The machine is designed with the following guards and protective devices:
The complete machine housing, the gauge plate, the blade cover, the carriage, the feeding carriage and the remnant holder plate of the VS 12 F--P are made of anodized aluminium. VS 12 C/VS 12 C W/VS 12 C F Surface refinement with Ceraclean. The rear wall,theguard plate and the remnant holder plate of the VS 12/VS 12 F/VS 12 W are of transparent, fracture--resistant and foodstuff--friendly plastics. All materials used in the food zone and processing area are designed in conformity with the applicable sanitation requirements. All bearings in the visual area are lubricated with lubricating agents permitted for use in food zones. All function keys are integrated into the operating and display foil. The green ON and red OFF pushbuttons use a pilot lamp to control the start of the machine. The red pushbutton responds already at a slight touch. A control contactor with a self--holding circuit prevents the machine from being automatically restarted after power failure. A slice thickness setting below ’0’ unlocks the tilting safety device allowing the carriage to be tilted in any position.
Sblade guard ring, stationary,
non--removable
Senclosed blade cover, stationary,
removable
Sgauge plate, covering the stroke area Sprotective circuit to provide protection in
case of power failure
Ssharpener with protective cover of the
exposed blade area
VS 12/VS 12 F/VS 12 W Srear wall, non--removable Sunstable equilibrium of product holder in its
upper position
Sforce--guided product holder in a cutting
area of < 60 mm
This gravity feed slicer has the blade power--driven. An a. c. or three--phase motor drives the machine via a ribbed belt in almost noiseless operation. The product is fed toward the blade by manually moving the carriage forth and back. To enhance the frictional property of the product, all parts coming into contact with the product are provided with grooves. VS 12/VS 12 W The carriage is provided with an additional product fixation device which prevents the product from slipping and moving downwards. VS 12/VS 12 F/VS 12 W To position the product to be cut, the product holder may be swivelled up to its unstable equilibrium. VS 12 F/VS 12 F--P The carriage equipped with an additional feeding carriage is especially suitable for cutting of large--surface products. VS 12 F--P The product holder is designed with a clamping device. VS 12 W The slicing machine using an integrated scale permits the sliced product to be simultaneously weighed.

Note
SIf mainly cutting cheese, the use of a
special cheese knife is recommended. See optional equipment.
Application
SThe slicer is designed for application in
salerooms. It is also permitted for use under wet environmental conditions by taking into account the cleaning plan and protection type IP33.

SLpA =53dB(A). SThe value takes into consideration an
instable measuring of 3 dB.
Vibration
SThe total vibration of the items, Which get
into contact with hand and arm is below 2.5m/s2 and therefore below the required limited value.
Humidity
SProtection type IP 33. High air humidity or
moisture condensation occurring on the machine may result in machine damage.
Temperature
SPermissible ambient temperatures:
-- 1 0 °Cto+40°C
Products permitted for cutting: SNON FOOD products Sbone--in products Sfrozen food otherwise you will damage the machine and risk bodily injury.

2.1 Transport and storage
When transporting the machine shoes with steel caps should be worn and lifting devices should be used. At least two persons are necessary to move the machine. Weight of machine is higher than 25 kg.
INSTALLATION
6.080.98.5.10.03
2.2 Installation
Only lift the machine out of the packaging by the lifting straps. The drawing ”Packing/unpacking the machine” is included. Pay attention to the required space (see section 1.4). Recommended height of working table: approximately 800 mm Requirements to be met by the supporting area: Shorizontal and level surface Sstable and non--slippery Srigid (for the machine weight,
see section 1.4)
16
Convey and store the machine according to the symbols indicated on the packaging.
The lifting straps must only be used for machine hand- ling until it is unpacked. They must not be used as load--carrying equipment.
Be careful when un- packing! Carriage might move due to its un- laden weight.
