1. INFORMATION ON THE SLICER
1.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• The slicer must be operated only by highly qual-
ified people who are fully aware of the safety
measures described in this manual.
• In case of personnel rotation, training is to be pro-
vided in advance
.
• Although the slicer is equipped with safety devices
in the dangerous points, it is recommended not to
touch
the blade and the moving components.
• Before starting cleaning and maintenance opera-
tions, disconnect the slicer plug from the supply
.
• Assess the residual risks carefully when protec-
tion devices are removed to carry out cleaning and
maintenance
.
•
Cleaning and maintenance require great
concentration.
• A regular control of the electric supply cord is abso-
lutely necessary; a worn-out or damaged cord can
expose users to great electric shock hazard
.
• If the slicer shows malfunctions, it is recommended
not to use or attempt to repair the device; please
call the “SERVICE CENTRE”
.
•
Do not use the slicer for frozen products, meat
and fish with bones and any products other than
foodstuffs.
•
Do not use the slicer without the meat pusher
when the meat is nearly finished.
•
Do not place yourself in a dangerous position, the
blade may cause injuries.
The manufacturer and/or the seller is not liable in
the following cases:
- if the slicer has been tampered by non-author-
ized personnel;
- if some parts have been substituted by non-orig-
inal spare parts;
-if the instructions included in this manual are not
followed accurately;
- if the slicer is not cleaned and oiled with the right
products.
1.2 SAFETY SYSTEMS INSTALLED IN THE SLICER
1.2.1. MECHANICAL SAFETY SYSTEM
The mechanical safety system of the slicer de-
scribed in this manual complies with 2006/42 EC
directives and EN 1974 regulations.
The safety system includes (see 1.3):
• blade guard
•
ring
•
blade cover
•
meat pusher
•
meat pusher knob with ring nut and spacer
•
hand cover on the food tray
1.2.2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY SYSTEM
The slicer is equipped with:
• a micro-switch which stops the slicer in case the tie
rod for blade guard is removed (see Fig. 1); the mi-
cro-switch prevents from restarting the slicer if the
guard has not been set in the switch-off position
.
• a relay in the control box which requires the restart
of the slicer when a power cut occurs
.
Even though CE version slicers are provided with
electrical and mechanical protections (when the
slicer is operating and for maintenance and clean-
ing operations), there are still RESIDUAL RISKS
that cannot be eliminated completely; these risks
are specified in this manual under WARNING. The
blade and other parts of the machine can cause
cuts and injuries.
