2.2 - POSITIONING
Position the pallet, with the slicer, on a
flat surface and remove (a) the cap
from the slicer (Fig. n°12).
Turn the machine on its side (Fig. n°13)
and utilising the correct wrench pro-
vided unscrew the 4 nuts which secure
the slicer to the pallet. Remove the 4
washers and unscrew the 4 fastening
tie rods on the wooden pallet. Remove
the pallet and fasten the 4 feet provided
to the slicer. Finally, replace cap in its
original position.
Position the slicer in its final operating loca-
tion .
The dimensions indicated in Tab. 1
(which vary depending on model) must
always be considered and taken into
account for when deciding on the final
location of the slicer. Slicer location
must be sufficiently wide enough to
accommodate the slicer, level, dry,
smooth, robust, stable and at a height
of approximately 80 cm from the
ground and at least 20 cm from walls,
objects, shelves, etc. (Fig. n°14) to al-
low for sufficient room to operate the
slicer respecting and safeguarding op-
erator safety.
Furthermore, the machine must be lo-
cated in an environment with a maxi-
mum humidity of 75%, non-saline and
with a temperature ranging between
+5°C and +35°C; and in any event in
environments which conform to the
above specifications .
Make sure the graduated hand grip is in
position “0”.
Check alignment of the blade-thickness
gauge by running a finger (Fig. n°16)
from the blade towards the thickness
gauge (never in the opposite direc-
tion).

2.3 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check that the specifications provided
in the rating plate -serial number (Fig.
n°17) and in the consignment and deliv-
ery documents, correspond; if not con-
tact the supplier immediately.
Check power supply cable and slicer
earthing .
2.3.1 - Slicer with single-phase motor
The slicer is fitted with a power supply cable having a cross section of 3x1mm²;
approximate length 1.5m and a “SHUKO” plug. Connect the 230 V - 50 Hz sli-
cer, interposing a 10 A I= 0.03A thermomagnetic differential switch.
2.3.2 - Slicer with 400 V. three-phase motor
The slicer is fitted with a power supply cable having a cross section area of
5x1mm², approximate length 1.5m and a red 15A 3F + T CEI plug. Connect the
slicer to the 400 V - 50Hz three-phase supply mains, interposing a 10 A I=
0.03A thermomagnetic differential switch.
2.3.3 - Slicer with 230 V. three-phase motor
The slicer is fitted with a power supply cable having a cross section area of
5x1mm², approximate length 1.5m and a blue 15A 3F + T CEI plug. Connect the
slicer to the 230 V - 50Hz three-phase supply mains, interposing a 10 A I=
0.03A thermomagnetic differential switch.
Check blade rotation is anti-clockwise looking at the slicer from bladeguard side.
If not proceed as in 2.3.4 .
2.3.4 - Blade rotation direction
Check the direction of the blade
rotation with a pulse of the “I” push-
button (ON), immediately followed by
the “0” push-button OFF.
The direction of the blade rotation
must be counter-clockwise when loo-
king at the slicer from the bladeguard
side (Fig. n°18). In the case that the
rotation direction is not exact, invert

2.6 - PRELIMINARY CHECK (see FIG.n°25)
Before testing make sure the goods holder plate is well-blocked, after which test
functioning with the following procedure:
Manual operation mode
Unlock the carriage by turning the knob to position A (see FIG.n°25):
- check the manual sliding of the carriage
- press the switch-on (ref.1) and the switch-off (ref.2) of the blade (see FIG.n°
24);
- check that the slicer stops functioning by unscrewing the tie screw for blade
guard (see FIG.n°33 - ref.21).
- with the machine running, unplug it and then plug it in again to check that it
does not start-up automatically.
Automatic operation mode
Before carrying out testing, make sure the meat hopper is correctly locked with
the knob in position B (see FIG. n° 25):
- press the switch-on (ref.1) and the switch-off (ref.2) of the blade (see FIG. n°
24);
- check the carriage functioning by pressing the switch-on (ref.4) and then the
switch-off (ref.3) (see FIG. n° 24);
- check that the slicer stops functioning by unscrewing the tie screw for blade
guard (see FIG.n°33 - ref.21).
- with the machine running, unplug it and then plug it in again to check that it
does not start-up automatically.

CHAP. 3 - INFORMATION ON THE MACHINE
3.1 - GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The general precautions, although they appear obvious, are fundamental and
must be respected when installing, using and servicing the machine and for deal-
ing with possible malfunctions.
 The slicer has been designed to cut
fresh boneless meat and pork prod-
ucts (Fig. n°26). Any other use, in-
cluding slicing vegetables, is consid-
ered improper and therefore hazard-
ous.
 The Manufacturer shall not be held
responsible for:
 the machine is tampered with by
unauthorised personnel;
 components are replaced with
non-original parts;
 the instructions in this manual are
not followed carefully;
 machine surfaces are treated with
unsuitable products.
Keep this manual in a safe and ac-
cessible place for future reference
(Fig. n°27).
The slicer must only be used by
trained personnel who have knowl-
edge of the safety standards provided
in this manual.
In the event of staff turnover, new op-
erators must be properly trained .
Do not allow the slicer to be used by
children or by untrained people (Fig.
n°28).

Before performing cleaning or mainte-
nance operations, disconnect the ma-
chine from the mains power supply.
When performing routine mainte-
nance or cleaning the slicer (the
guards are removed), carefully evalu-
ate all residual risks.
During maintenance or cleaning it is
of utmost importance that the opera-
tor is fully concentrated on the opera-
tions being performed.
Do not use corrosive or flammable
substances to clean the slicer (Fig. n°
29); only use the cleaning product
provided (Fig. n°29);
To clean the slicer carefully follow the
instructions in the chapter: “Routine
cleaning ”.
Do not wash the slicer in a dish-
washer (Fig. n°30) or with water jets,
do not submerge it in water or in other
liquids.
Do not leave the slicer exposed to
damaging agents such as sun, rain,
liquid sprays, humidity, ice (Fig. n°31).
Do not pull the slicer or the power
supply cable (Fig. n°32) to unplug it.
Regularly check the state of the
power supply cable; a worn out cable
or in any case not intact represents a
serious electrical hazard.
If the machine remains unused for
long periods of time, before using it
again have it overhauled and checked
by a “Service Centre”.

CHAP. 4 - GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE SLICER
4.1 - CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
The slicer is made of an anodized aluminium alloy (Peraluman AlMg5) a food
grade material (hygienic) which is acid and salt resistant as well as being highly
resistant to oxidation.
The blade is in 100 Cr6, rectified chrome-plated and hardened steel ensuring
slicing precision even after sharpening. The majority of the other components
are in:
- ABS:
- shockproof plastic (handguard);
- AISI 430 or 304 steel.
- The edge and the inside frame are made of stainless steel .
If the slicer show signs of malfunctioning, it is recommended to turn it off and
not to use it, do not repair, but contact the “Service Centre”, details are pro-
vided on the back cover of this manual.
Do not leave the slicer plugged in if not in use. Always unplug the machine
when it is not being used.
Although safety devices are fitted to protect hazardous points on the machine,
do not place hands near the blade and other moving parts.
Never slice the product without utilising the product pusher.
Do not assume positions that cause parts of the body to come into direct
contact with the blade.
