ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND ADVICE REGARDING
SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTRICAL PROTECTION:
Commercial bakeries, kitchens and foodservice areas are environments where
electrical appliances may be located close to liquids or operate in and around damp
conditions or where restricted movement for installation and service is evident.
The installation and periodic inspection of the appliance should only be undertaken by
a qualified, skilled and competent electrician, and connected to the correct supply
suitable for the load as stipulated by the appliance data label.
The electrical installation and connections should meet the necessary requirements of
the local electrical wiring regulations and any electrical safety guidelines.
We Recommend:
−Supplementary electrical protection with the use of a residual current device
(RCD)
−Fixed wiring appliances incorporate a locally situated switch disconnector to
connect to, which is easily accessible for switching off and safe isolation
purposes. The switch disconnector must meet the specification requirements
of IEC 60947.

14 WARNING:
NEVER LEAVE MACHINE WITH DOUGH IN SUCTION CHAMBER
AS DANGEROUS PRESSURES BUILD UP AS THE DOUGH PROVES.
15 WARNING:
NEVER PUT YOUR HAND INTO THE SUCTION CHAMBER. EVEN WITH
THE MACHINE EMPTY AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY,
THE HIGH LOADING OF THE COMPRESSION SPRING COULD PROPEL
THE SUCTION PISTON WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY.
NEVER PUT YOUR HAND INTO THE SUCTION CHAMBER, EVEN WITH
PISTON REMOVED, AS THERE IS A DANGER OF INJURY IF BACKSLIDE
(34), OR SUCTION PISTON (29) MOVES.
16 WARNING! ONLY CLEAN INTERIOR OF SUCTION CHAMBER WITH
TRIANGULAR SCRAPER (3). PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO TOP OF
CHAMBER WHERE KNIFE BEARS.
17 Any internal maintenance must be carried out by fully trained maintenance
personnel only.

5.0 INSTALLATION
1The MK2 Dough Divider should be connected to a wall isolator.
2Check machine after installation to ensure conveyor belt travels in the direction
indicated (see arrow). This should be done by 'inching' the motor. If motor
rotation is incorrect transpose any two of the three phase carrying wires.
3Before use MONO dough dividers are delivered with a protective coating of
grease on the dividing head components. This should be removed before use
by following the 'daily' cleaning procedure see 7.0
4Ensure machine is standing on a solid floor and is level.
Fill oil tank with your company recommended food safe oil and lubricate
machine through all grease points. (Recommended grease Lithium EP2, high
temperature, multi purpose grease).
5The divider should be used on a level floor for best results
6.0 ISOLATION
To stop the dough divider in an emergency,
switch off at the wall isolator,
or the machine's emergency
stop button (4).
The supply to this machine must be protected by a
30mA RCD
