2.1 - General description
The machine is essentially composed
ofadoublebase.
The upper base supports the circular
blade,mountedin an inclined position
and driven by an electric motor,
which has the purpose of slicing food
products; a product tray is positioned
in parallel with the edge of the blade.
The lower base sustains the support
that runs on the guides located under
theabovementionedbase,drivenbyan
electricmotor.
The slice thickness is adjustable
thankstoagaugeplateplacedinfront
oftheblade;thisplate,onwhichleans
the product to be cut, can be moved
transversely to the blade of a value
correspondingtothedesiredthickness
oftheslice.
Productfeeding(progresstowardsthe
gaugeplate)occursbyitsownweight
(gravity). All the components of the
machine are made of polished and
anodicallyoxidizedaluminiumalloy,of
stainless steel and of plastic material

forfoodproducts.
The cutting blade is driven by an
electricmotorandmotiontransmission
is obtained thanks to a longitudinally
groovedbelt.
Stat-up and stop are performed using
a button connected to the auxiliary
controlcircuitwhichpreventsaccidental
start-upsofthemachineafterpossible
interruptionsofthemainspower
Themachineincorporatesasharpener
built for the highest simplicity of use
andsafety.
2 .2 - Environmental conditions of

• Relativehumidity............ max95%

2 .3 - Slicer correct use
Theslicerisonlydesignedtoslicefoodof
thetypeandwithinthedimensionallimits
indicatedinthisinstructionmanuals .
2.3.a - Intended use
(sliceable products)
Thefollowingproductsmaybesliced:
• Alltypesofcoldcuts(rawandcooked
ham,bacon).
• Boneless meat (cooked or raw at a
temperatureofnotlessthan+3°C).
• Bread and cheese (obviously the
sliceable type such as Gruyère,
Fontina,etc.).

2.3.b - Unexpected or improper use
(NOT sliceable products)
ThefollowingproductsCANNOTbesliced
astheyareliabletocauseseriousharmto
theuserand/orsliceritself:
• Frozenfood.
• Deep-frozenfood.

ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL SAFETY DEVICES
The mechanical safety devices taken
are the following:
• A series of aluminium and
transparent plastic guards on the
productcarriage.
The electrical safety devices taken
are the following:
• Start/stop button that requires the
machine voluntary restart in case
of an outage or interruption of the
powersupply.
• Startupandstopareperformedwith
the button connected to a control
auxiliary network that prevents
accidentalstartupsoftheappliance
afterapossibleelectricalpowercut.
Do not tamper, remove
nor bypass, under no
circumstances, the
safety devices installed
on the equipment.
3 .1 - Residual risks
• During automatic use, the support of the product tray
moves horizontally at xed speed; pay the utmost
attention to avoid getting hit. Despite the efforts
made while designing and building the machine, the
possibility of accidents (risk of crushing and shocks)
to which the user can be exposed if he is not operating VERY
CAREFULLY still exits. DO NOT BECOME DISTRACTED ! DO NOT
use the slicer if you’re not in perfect psychophysical conditions
and DO NOT allow anyone to get closer during use. A WARNING
PLATE HAS BEEN POSITIONED NEAR THE HAZARDOUS POINT.
• During slicer use, cleaning and maintenance operations,
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.
