5.3 - SHARPENING THE BLADE
1. disinsert the plug from the outlet and
carefully clean the blade with denatured
alcohol so it is degreased;
2. lift (a) the sharpener (1) and turn it 180°
(b Fig. n°43);
WARNING: Before starting to sharpen the blade, pay attention to RESIDUAL RISKS
(chapter 4.2.2) concerning the dangers of cutting without having followed the in-
structions listed below.
To sharpen the blade, which needs to be done periodically as soon a decrease in cutting is
noticed, the following directions must be adhered to:
3. let it go in a way that the sharpener (c)
fits on the locator pins (d Fig. n°43);
4. check also that the blade stays between
the two grinders;
5. insert the pin and start the machine, by
pressing the “ON” push-button;

2.2 - POSITIONING
Position the pallet, with the slicer, on a flat
surface and take off (a) the sharpener from
the slicer (Fig. n°12).
At this point turn the machine on its side (Fig.
n°13) and unscrew, with the proper wrench
provided, the 4 nuts which fasten the slicer.
Remove the 4 washers and unscrew the 4
fastening tie rods on the wooden pallet. Take
off the pallet and fasten the 4 feet provided.
Finally, put the sharpener in its place.
Position the slicer in the predestined place.
The dimensions indicated in Tab. 1
(according to the model) must be kept in mind
for the plane where the slicer will be installed,
therefore it must be wide enough, well-
levelled, dry, smooth, robust, stable about 80
cm high off the ground and at least 20 cm
from walls, objects, shelves, etc. (Fig. n°14)
in respect to the space necessary for its use
and safeguarding.
Furthermore the machine must be placed in
an environment with a maximum humidity of
75%, not salty and with a temperature betwe-
en +5°C and +35°C; in any case in environ-
ments which do not lead to deviations of the
above.
Make sure the graduated handgrip is in po-
siion “0”.
Check the alignment of the blade-plane thi-
ckness gauge by running a finger (Fig. n°16)
from the blade towards the thickness gauge
plane (never in the opposite direction). Un-
screw and screw the foot (1) until the correct
alignment is found (Fig. n°17), then screw the
rubber part (2) to fix everything (Fig. n°17).

5.2 - LOADING AND CUTTING THE PRODUCT
Adhere to the following procedure:
1. Lift the goods presser, load the goods on
the plate, bringing it close to the thi-
ckness gauge, block it with the proper
toothed arm;
2. regulate the desired thickness of the cut
with the graduated handgrip;
3. assume a correct position to avoid acci-
dent: place the right hand on the goods
presser handgrip and, then the left hand
next to the slice guard to take the cut pro-
duct (without touching the blade); the
body must be perpendicular to the work
plane (Fig. n°39).
WARNING: Do not assume positions
which bring body parts in direct contact
with the blade (ex. Fig. n°40);
4. then push the “ON” push-button;
5. push the carriage (plate + goods presser
arm + stem) gently towards the blade,
without applying excessive pressure on
the product with the goods presser arm.
The goods will easily enter the blade, and
the slice guided by the proper sliceguard
will detach and fall on the plane (Fig. n°
40);
6. avoid running the slicer when empty ;
7. at the end of the cutting operation, stop
the machine by putting the switch in the
“OFF” position and put the graduated
handgrip at “0”;
8. after slicing, do not leave the food
lying on the product. Store the food
that has just been sliced in a place
suitable for its preservation;
9. Carry out resharpening the blade as soon
as the cut product has a threaded or
rough surface, therefore the cutting effort
increases (chapter 5.3).
WARNING: The goods to be cut are loaded on the plate only with the graduated handgrip at
“0” and the motor stopped, being careful with the blade and the points.

(Fig. n°27) or with water jets, do not
immerge it in water or in other liquids.
Do not leave the slicer exposed to dama-
ging agents: sun, rain, sprays, humidity,
ice (Fig. n°28).
Do not pull the slicer or the feeding cable
(Fig. n°29) to unplug it.
Regularly check the state of the feeding ca-
ble; a worn out cable or in any case not in-
tact represents a serious electrical danger.
If the machine remains unused for long pe-
riods of time, before using it again have it
checked by a “Service Center”.
If the slicer should show signs of
malfunctioning it is advisable to turn it off
and to not use it, to not directly intervene for
repairs, and to contact the “Service Center”,
shown on the back of this manual.
Do not leave the slicer uselessly plugged in.
Unplug the machine when it is not being
used.
Even if safety devices are installed on dan-
gerous points of the machine, avoid placing
hands near the blade and other moving
parts.
Never cut the product, by now finished,
without the aid of the goods pressing
arm.
Do not assume positions that bring body
parts in direct contact with the blade.

CHAP. 4 - GETTING TO KNOW THE SLICER
4.1 - CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
The slicer is made of an anodized alluminum alloy (alloy AlMg3). It guarantees contact with
food-stuffs (hygienic) and is resistant to acids and salts apart being highly resistant to oxida-
tion.
The blade is in 100 Cr6 rectified, chromium-plated and hardened steel assuring a precise
and net cut of the product even after being sharpened. Most of the other components present
are made of:
- ABS plastic suitable for contact with foodstuffs;
- AISI steel;
- aluminium.
