GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The purpose of the safety guards fitted by the manufacturer is to
safeguard the user so it is absolutely forbidden to use the machine
without them.
The operator must be properly trained to use the machine and
must follow scrupulously the instructions contained in this manual.
The operator must wear suitable clothing to protect and safeguard
him in accordance with the regulations in force.
The machine must be used in perfect stability on a flat surface.
Should an operating anomaly occur, do not use the machine and
do not attempt to repair or undertake any intervention but contact
the technical assistance service.
Do not use the machine with wet or damp hands or feet.
Do not turn off the machine by pulling the power cable from the
socket or shutting down the mains master switch.
Do not connect to the mains via extensions, adaptors or multiple
plugs.
Do not leave the machine exposed to atmospheric agents.
The machine must not be used by children or handicapped people.
6Page
The machine must not be used by children or handicapped people.
The mains power supply must be protected from over-currents with
thermo magnetic circuit breakers.
Check that the mains voltage and the current draw comply with the
name plate data.
The electrical safety is only guaranteed when the machine is
correctly connected to an efficient earthing system as envisaged by
the safety regulations in force.
The packing materials and maintenance residues must be
collected separately and sent for disposal by an authorized
company.
In case of emergency, disconnect the mains supply immediately.
Incorrect installation can cause damage to persons and property
for which the manufacturer shall accept no responsibility.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The machine is a gravity slicing machine exclusively for slicing
food as indicated in the previous paragraph.
The cutting is done by a blade (1) driven by an electric motor that
cuts the food placed on the meat hopper (2).
The food to be sliced must be correctly placed on the surface of
the meat hopper and firmly blocked with the last slice device
(LSD) (3). The blade must only be started .
The carriage can be moved either manually or automatically to
feed the product that must be sliced.

Safety devices
The machine is fitted with safety devices which can prevent accidental damage
and injuries.
These devices must not be removed or deactivated for any reason.
If they must be deactivated for maintenance or repair interventions, only operate
on the machine with electrical power disconnected.
The safety devices are made in compliance with regulations in force.
We recommend that these devices are always kept at maximum efficiency.
Mechanical safeties:
- Fixed rear blade-guard ring
- Meat hopper can be removed after adjusting the dial knob to zero and with the
carriage fully backwards. Once the meat-hopper is removed the mechanisms
are interlocked.
- Safety panels and covers in aluminium and plastic to avoid accidental contact.
Electrical safeties:
- Operation stop/start pushbuttons .
- Micro-switch that prevents operation when the blade-guard is removed
(optional).
Risks due to the use of the slicing machine
Page 9
Risks due to the use of the slicing machine
The most dangerous risks are basically due to the movement of the food
carriage during the cutting operation and during the collection of the slice.
Other risks that the operator must be aware of:
Handling of the food to be sliced.
Stability of the food on the meat hopper.
Electrical system (connectors, controls etc...).
The main risk causes are:
Placing the food on the meat hopper.
Cutting and collecting slices.
Blade sharpening and cleaning.
Ordinary maintenance (cleaning).
Accidents.
Residual risks
The blade fixed rear guard ring in the sharpening zone does not completely
eliminate the risk of cuts. When intervening on or standing close to the blade,
take great care and wear metallic cut-proof gloves.

2 - UNPACKING
Goods receipt check
On receipt of the goods, check that the material corresponds to that
indicated in the transport documents.
If defects are found, such as:
- marks on the structure or the cover;
- controls broken or not working;
- missing pieces or other;
Inform the transporter and our commercial technical service immediately.
The packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene, cartons, etc...) must never be
disposed of in the environment but sent to an authorized company.
3 - INSTALLATION
The slicer is delivered ready for installation according to the name plate data
(see page 4).
The installation must be made by qualified personnel.
Make sure that the mains supply has the same characteristics as the
machine.
If the machine is wet or very damp, do not install or use. Have a
precautionary check made by the technical service to ensure that the
electrical components have not suffered any damage.
Page 10
Positioning area
The recommended working height is
about 800 mm from the ground.
The size of the supporting surface
must take account of the machine
size, see the “Overall dimensions”
paragraph. Leave enough space
around the machine to work safely
and allow the operator to load and
unload the food onto the food
carriage, the cutting and collection of
slices free of any close obstacles or
impediments.
On the side of the carriage at the end
of its stroke, a minimum space of 600
mm must be provided in order to avoid
any crash caused by the automatic
movement of the carriage itself.

Electrical pre-arrangement
The machine is supplied with a power cord
with plug (1).
Set up a socket with safety protection
close to the machine.
Install a differential circuit breaker
complete with thermomagnetic releases
(sensitivity 30mA) upstream of the power
cord.
Check that the earth system complies with
the regulations in force in the country of
installation.
Each machine must be fitted
with its own safety devices
therefore it is forbidden to
connect more than one
machine to the same socket.
It is mandatory for the
machine
to
be
earthed

Place the machine on the working surface and press on all four corners in
correspondence with the feet to make sure the suction pads grip well on the surface.
Check that all the components of the machine are integral and that the safety devices
are in place.
Clean the machine of any packaging residue.
Connect the electric cord (1) to the mains socket.
Check that the meat hopper (carriage) (2) slides well and the LSD (3) functions.
Check the operation of the gauge plate with dial knob (4).
Press the pushbutton (5) and check that the blade rotation works. Stop the blade with
the pushbutton (6).
