2.2 - POSITIONING
Position the pallet, with the slicer, on a
flat surface and take off (a) the cap
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 provi-
ded. Finally, put the cap in its place.
Position the slicer in the predestined
place.
The dimensions indicated in Tab. 1-2-3
(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 maxi-
mum humidity of 75%, not salty and
with a temperature between +5°C and
+35°C; in any case in environments
which do not lead to deviations of the
above.
Make sure the graduated hand grip is in
posiion “0”.
Check the alignment of the blade-plane
thickness gauge by running a finger
(Fig. n°16) from the blade towards the
thickness gauge plane (never in the op-
posite direction). Unscrew and screw
the feet on the operator’s side until the
correct alignment is found (Fig. n°17).

5.2 - LOADING AND CUTTING THE PRODUCT
Adhere to the following procedure:
1.Lift the goods presser, load the go-
ods on the hopper, bringing it close to
the thickness gauge, block it with the-
proper toothed arm;
2.regulate the desired thickness of the
cut with the graduated hand grip;
3.assume a correct position to avoid
accident: place the right hand on the
goods presser hand grip and, then
the left hand next to the slice guard to
take the cut product (without tou-
ching the blade); the body must be-
perpendicular to the work plane (Fig.
n°40).
WARNING: Do not assume
positions which bring body parts in
direct contact with the blade (ex.
Fig. n°41);
4.then push the “ON” push-button;
5.push the carriage (hopper + goods
presser arm + stem) gently towards
the blade, without applying excessive
pressure on the goods 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°42);
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 hand grip at “0”;
8. Carry out resharpening the blade as
soon as the cut product has a threaded
WARNING: The goods to be cut are loaded on the hopper only with the gradua-
ted hand grip at “0” and the motor stopped, being careful with the blade and the
points.

CHAP. 6 - ROUTINE CLEANING
6.1 - GENERALITIES
Cleaning the machine must be carried out at least once a day or, if necessary,
more frequently .
All the parts of the slicer that come in direct or indirect contact with the food to
be cut must be scrupulously cleaned.
The slicer must not be cleaned with water cleaning machines or water jets, but
with the product provided and/or with neutral detergents (pH 7). The use of
any other detergent is prohibited. Utensils, brushes and whatever else could
damage the machine surface must not be used.
Before carrying out any cleaning operation it is necessary to:
1.disconnect the plug from the electrical network to completely isolate the machi-
ne from the rest of the system;
2.Bring the graduated hand grip which regulates the thickness gauge to “0”.
WARNING: Be careful of residual risks from sharp and/or pointed parts.

6.2.2 - Cleaning the blade, the bladeguard and the ring
WARNING: a pair of metallic gloves
must be worn while cleaning the bla-
de (1) (Fig. n°49)and a damp cloth
must be used.
Unscrew the hand grip from the blade-
guard tie rod (3) and extract the blade-
guard (2) using the proper grip to hold it
(Fig. n°49). At thid point it is possible to
clean the blade (Fig. n°50).
To clean the surfaces opposite the
blade and the ring, the blade must be
extracted in the following way:
1.unhook the bladeguard (Fig. n°49);
2.take out the sharpening device (Fig.
n°51 ref.a) and open, by using the
graduated hand grip, the thickness
gauge enough to make the jig (Fig. n°
51 rif.b) stick to the blade;
3.unscrew the three or four screws (Fig.
n°51 ref.f), depending on the model,
which fasten the blade;
4.rest the jig (b) on the blade, so that
the split in the jig fits in the ring (Fig.
n°51 ref.c);
5.match the axes of the two holes (Fig.
n°51 ref.d) on the blade with the two-
knobs (Fig. n°51 rif.e) on the jig,
simply making the blade turn to the
desired position;
6.screw the two knobs (e) without
excessively tightening them.
N.B. The bladeguard must be clea-
ned with warm water, the equipped
detergente or with neutral detergent
(pH 7).

Before carrying out any maintenance operations it is necessary to:
a) disconnect the feed plug from the electrical network to completely isolate
machine from the rest of the system.
b) bring the graduated hand grip which regulates the thickness gauge to “0”.
7.2 - BELT
The belt does not need to regulated. Generally after 3/4 years it must be
replaced, in this case call the “SERVICE CENTER”.
7.3 - FEET
The feet could deteriorate in time and lose their elasticity, therefore decreasing
the stability of the machine. Replace them by calling the “SERVICE CENTER”.
7.4 - FEEDING CABLE
Periodically check the state of wear and tear of the cable and call the “SERVICE
CENTER” for its replacement.
7.5 - BLADE
Check that the diameter of the blade, after many sharpenings, has not been
reduced more than 10 mm. compared to the original diameter. For its
replacement call the “SERVICE CENTER”.
7.6 - GRINDERS
Check that the grinders continue to have their abrasive property during the
sharpening. When they are no longer abrasive they must be replaced as to not
damage the blade, therefore call the “SERVICE CENTER”.
7.7 - SLIDING GUIDES LUBRICATION
Occasionally put a few drops of oil (from the tube that is provided) on the round
bar that the trolley slides back and forth on, through the hole (OIL) located on the
