4. General description
The slicing machine has been designed and made according to the EEC Directive 2006/42.
The machine offers the user:
-maximum safety hen in use, during cleaning and ordinary maintenance;
-maximum hygiene from the use of inoxidizable materials or adequately protected
against oxidization together ith an careful design of all the parts in food zone;
-maximum cutting precision and capacity together ith strength and reliability;
-the chance to ork continuously.
The machine is essentially made up of a base that holds a circular blade that is inclined,
operated by an electric motor, hich slices the food and a sliding carriage on bars, placed
under the above mentioned base, hich in turn supports the food plate, parallel to the cutting
edge of the blade.
The food table is made up of a plate and a sliding upper table, also has an appropriate self-
stopping device to keep the product in its proper place during cutting operations (food
press).
The thickness of the slice is regulated by a thickness plate behind the blade; this plate, on
hich the food is placed, can be moved transversally to the blade at the thickness of the
desired slice.
All the components of the machine are made of a light aluminium alloy and magnesium
Peraluman 3, polished and anodized, in stainless steel and plastic for food products as
according to the sanitary regulations in force so the structure is sturdy, reliable, easy to clean
and does not alter in time.
The cutting blade is operated by a self-ventilated motor, under the base; the motor
transmission is obtained ith gears, guaranteeing a quiet running. The transmission gear is
the top in terms of reliability, strong efforts, and it is able to cut the product even harder.
Starting and stopping is carried out by using the t o buttons at the front of the machine
hich are easily identifiable by their position; there is a light hich indicates the machine is
running. This command system prevents accidental starting of the machine after a possible
electric circuit interruption; this means the slicing machine can only be re-started intentionally.
The machine has a sharpener hich is extremely easy and safe to use.
The food plate, slice deflector and blade cover can be removed for cleaning.
4. .1 Safety
The mechanical safety devices are the follo ing:
•Irremovable safety ring around the blade (blade protection);
•Food plate hich can only be removed if the regulating knob of the thickness plate is in
the ‘zero’ position and the carriage is at the end of its position on the operator’s side.
Once the arm complete ith food plate has been removed the thickness plate is locked
in the above mentioned position;
•A set of aluminium and transparent protections on the food plate.
The electric safety devices are the follo ing:
•Start-up ith start and stop buttons ith a lo tension control circuit that also requires a
voluntary re-start of the machine in the case of an electric circuit interruption.
4. .2 Residual risks
WARNING: The safety ring around the blade is made according to the European regulation
(EN 1974:1998+A1) but this protection doesn’t completely eliminate risks in sharpening area.
When cleaning and sharpening the blade, be very careful and always concentrate on the
job at hand. We recommend the use of protective gloves.

5. INSTALLATION
5.1. Installing the machine
Install the machine on a surface hich is level,
smooth, dry and suitable for the eight of the
machine plus the food to be sliced; refer to
paragraph3.1.
WARNING: Check that there is nothing that
can get in the ay of the plate and the food
that is to be cut on the plate.
5.2. Command description
5.2.1 Start and stop buttons
- Press the button I (1) to start the blade;
- Press the button 0 (2) to stop the blade
moving.
5.2.2 Regulating knob for slice thickness
The thickness of the slice is regulated by
turning the graduated scale knob (3)
counterclock ise.
Regulating field: see paragraph 3.1.
5. Electrical connection
The machine must be installed close to an EEC
regulation socket in a system hich conforms
to the regulations in force ith:
- magnetothermal protection;
- automatic differential s itch;
- grounding system.
Before connecting, verify that the electric
supply mains is suitable for the machine by
checking the technical data plate on the
machine.

The slicer is fitted ith a po er supply cord of
about 2 metres length, complete ith a plug to
allo a simple disconnection from the electric
mains supply.
ALWAYS indicate the presence of the po er
supply cord if the slicer cannot be installed
near a socket and if in the installation zone
there is a transit of people.
If the po er supply cord is not long enough
you ill require the technical assistance service
and do not proceed ith a temporary electrical
connection.
5.4 Checking direction of blade rotation
(only for machine with three phase motors)
1. Start the machine;
2. Check the orking light is on;
3. Check the blade rotates in the direction
indicated by the arro (counterclock ise
looking at the machine from the side of the
blade cover);
4. If the blade goes round in the opposite
direction (clock ise) stop the machine
immediately and call a qualified person to
invert the feed wires of the plug.
5. Check the food plate and food press move
smoothly.
6. Check the orking and regulation of the
thickness plate.
6. USING THE SLICING MACHINE
6.1 Loading the goods on the plate and
cutting
1. Check that the regulating knob for slice
thickness is on ‘0’;
2. Pull back the carriage completely (to ards
the operator) to the loading position.

Use and maintenance
14
3. Lift up the food press and put it in the rest
position;
4. Place the food to be sliced on the plate
against the operator’s side. The food ill press
against the thickness plate because of its
eight.
Block it ith the food press by pressing do n
slightly;
5. Regulate the thickness of the slice.
Start the blade by pressing the start button I.
Grip the handle attached to the plate holder
arm and begin an alternate cutting movement;
6. When the eight or size of the goods do not
allo a proper cutting for reasons of eight,
use the food press hand-grip;
7. At the end of the cutting operations turn the
thickness regulating knob back to ‘0’ and pull
back the carriage.
Stop the blade movement by pushing the stop
button 0.

Use and maintenance

7. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
7.1 General information
The operator is allo ed to carry out the follo ing maintenance:
- Blade sharpening, periodically;
The interval and length of the sharpening obviously depend on the use of the machine ( ork
times and type of product used)
- Lubrication of the carriage guide bars, eekly;
- Lubrication of guide rod/s of the plate and the food press, eekly;
- Check the conditions of the electric cable and the cable gland on the base of the machine,
periodically.
Maintenance to be carried out exclusively by personnel authorized by the manufacturer is as
follo s:
- Replacing the blade;
- Replacing the sharpener grindstones;
- Replacing the components of the electric system under the base;
- Repairing the structural parts, repairing and/or replacing components under the base.
7.2 Sharpening the blade
NOTE: The sharpening operation is to be carried out only hen the machine has been carefully
cleaned as described in the previous paragraphs..
WARNING: The blade can be sharpened up until the distance between the cutting edge of
the blade and the inside border of the protection is no more than 6 mm., corresponding to a
decrease of about 10 mm. of the size of the original diameter. Once this value has been
reached, it is NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE BLADE and this operation must be carried
out EXCLUSIVELY by personnel authorized to by the manufacturer.
