Flywheel
Clockwise rotation of the ywheel (7)
using the handle (6) will move the
carriage (5) with product holder (4),
whilst at the same time turning the blade
(16).
Slice thickness control knob
Turn the knob (13) clockwise in order to
obtain a thicker slice or anticlockwise for
a thinner one.
The knob (13) has a graduated scale
ranging from “1” to “9” (thickness 2,5 mm).

4.1 - USING THE SLICER
WARNING:
•DO NOT use the slicer if not fully
physically and mentally t.
•DO NOT allow anyone to come near to
the slicer whilst you are using it.
• Be extremely careful whilst loading/
unloading the product from the product
holder and whilst actually slicing.
PAY ATTENTION AT ALL TIMES!
______________________
• Move the product holder (4) away as
far as its limit of travel (furthest from the
blade) using either the knob (12) or the
fast forward lever (11).
•Position the product to be sliced on the
product holder (4) and hold in place with
the pusher (3) (so that it can’t move),
whilst adjusting the height.
4.2 - PLACING PRODUCT ON
PRODUCT HOLDER
• Turn the ywheel (7) in order to move the
carriage (5) to its forward limit (towards
the operator).

Failure to hold the product rmly in place
on the product holder could cause the
machine to cut uneven slices.
•Turn the knob (13) in order to set the
required slice thickness.
• Hold the handle (6) and turn the ywheel
(7) clockwise in order to begin blade
rotation and the alternating movement of
the product holder (4) (g. 17).
4.3 - SLICING THE PRODUCT
•Move the blade guard (9) to the left by
loosening the knob (9a).
WARNING:
Exercise great caution if the blade
guard (9) is not tted; the blade (16)
is extremely sharp.
• Bring the product holder (4) (with the
product) back from its limit of travel
(towards the blade) using either the knob
(12) or the fast forward lever (11).
Draw the product holder (4) closer to the
blade so as to leave a space between
the product to be sliced and the blade
of between 0.5 cm and 1.0 cm.

DO NOT turn the flywheel (7)
anticlockwise.
Serious damage to the slicer could
be caused.
• You will need to turn the ywheel (7) 4/5
times before the product touches the
blade (16).
• Whilst the carriage (5) moves forward
(away from the operator), the blade (16)
enters the product.
Guided by the deector (2), the slice
is detached and drops onto the slice
receiving surface (1).
• As the carriage (5) returns (towards
the operator), a mechanical device is
operated that moves the product holder
(4) sideways towards the blade (16).
The amount of sideways movement is
set by using the slice thickness control
knob (13).
• You should stop turning the ywheel
(7) once the operation is complete; the
blade will halt its movement (16).
• Move the product holder (4) (with the
remaining product) away from the blade
(16) using either the knob (12) or the fast
forward lever (11).
