TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION AND PROPOSED
CONDITIONS OF USE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The machine is essentially made of a base supporting a circular blade mounted in vertical
position. This blade is driven by an electrical motor to slice foodstuffs. The machine is
equipped with a carriage holding a product tray and sliding on tracks mounted under the
base top, parallel to the blade.
Slice thickness is adjusted by means of a gauge plate mounted in front of the blade. This
plate, against which rests the product to be sliced is moved transversally with respect to
the blade by a value corresponding to the desired slice thickness. The product is fed to the
machine (towards the gauge plate) manually.
All the machine components are made of polished and anodically oxidized aluminium
alloy, of stainless steel and food grade plastic material. The cutting blade is driven by an
electrical motor, transmission is by means of a longitudinally grooved belt.
The machine is started and stopped by a control button provided with auxiliary circuit
preventing accidental restarts after an eventual outage. The machine has a user-friendly
and safe built-in blade sharpener.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY DEVICES
The following mechanical safety devices were installed:
• A series of aluminium and transparent plastic guards on the product carriage.
The following electrical safety devices were installed:
• Start/stop button system requiring a voluntary restart of the machine in the case of an
outage or interruption of the power supply.
WARNING: RESIDUAL RISKS
Notwithstanding all the possible cautions taken during the design and the
construction of the machine, residual risks (cutting) still exist during use or during
cleaning or maintenance. Therefore be careful and PAY THE UTMOST ATTENTION
to what you are doing.
DO NOT use the machine if you are not in perfect psychological and physical
conditions. DO NOT ALLOW anyone near the machine when it is in use. ALWAYS
wear gloves that can resist cuts or tears when cleaning, lubricating or sharpening
the blade.
Slice only the products mentioned as sliceable. NEVER try to slice products that
have been mentioned as non sliceable.
8/50

All the other machines have a ventilated motor.
Supply voltage: Please see data plate on the machine base.
The details and characteristics are for informational purposes only. The company reserves the
right to make improvements without notice.

MACHINE COMMISSIONING AND FUNCTION
TESTS
INSTALLING THE MACHINE
Position the machine on a well leveled, smooth and dry top suitably dimensioned to
withstand the machine weight.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Install the machine near a EU compliant outlet derived from a system meeting the current
norms.
The user is responsible for ascertaining that the electrical system is suitably dimensioned
and functions correctly (supply line, outlet, distribution panel, differential protecting breaker,
grounding).
Before carrying out the connection ascertain that the mains characteristics correspondent
to those indicated on the machine plate.

13/50
COMMANDS
START AND STOP BUTTONS
• Press the white or green button (1) to start running the blade;
• The light turns on to indicate that the machine works correctly;
• Press the red or black button to stop the blade.
Slice thickness can be adjusted by turning the graduated knob (4) counterclockwise.
Thickness adjustment range: see paragraph “Technical description and conditions of
use”.

14/50
FUNCTIONING TEST AND BLADE ROTATION DIRECTION
Start the machine and check whether the light is on; make sure that the blade rotates in
the direction indicated by the arrow (counterclockwise if you look at the machine from the
blade plate side).
For machines with three-phase supply: if the blade rotates in the other direction, stop
themachineimmediatelyandcallqualiedpersonneltoinvert the plug supply wires.
• Ascertain that the carriage and the product grip slide correctly;
• Ascertain that the gauge plate works and adjust thickness to desired value.

15/50
USING THE MACHINE
