between the moving table and any permanent structure.
PRELIMINARY CLEANING
Before connecting the plug clean off the protective oil from the machine.
WARNING
The working table must always be cleaned.

Installation
MANUAL FUNCTIONING
1. Press push button blade start.
AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONING
1. See manual functioning.
2. Press push button carriage start.
SLICER FUNCTIONING AND USE
The following products can be sliced: sausages, ham, cheese, bread. If large quantities of bread or cheese are
usually cut it is advisable to mount a teon coating.
WARNING
The following cannot be sliced:
• Not-eatable products.
• Foodstuffs with bones.
• Frozen products.
AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONING
Rotate the carriage release handle in a counterclockwise direction by 180°. With the automatic functioning it
is possible to change the cut stroke length to adapt it to the dimensions of the product to be cut. Rotate the
product holder stroke adjustment knob respectively in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to lengthen
or shorten the product holder stroke. Irrespective of the selected stroke, the product holder always stops
in product load position (operator’s side) by pressing the product holder stop push button. The machine is
supplied with two self-contained motors: one for the blade and another for the product holder to better adjust its
stroke. By separating the two functions a more precise cut can be obtained.
MANUAL FUNCTIONING
Rotate the product holder release handle in a clockwise direction by 180°.
Operation
HOW TO LOAD THE PRODUCT TO BE CUT
1. Check that the slicer is off and position the slice thickness control to zero.
2. Push the product holder towards the operator.
3. Lift and rotate the product pusher: the pusher can fall back, this is normal.
4. Place the product to be cut against the wall of the product holder and the slice thickness plate.
5. Position the product pusher on the product to be cut far from the slice thickness plate. The product is fed to
the slice thickness plate by gravity making the cut easier.
6. Rotate the slice thickness control to the thickness desired.

Operation
Maintenance
AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONING
1. Rotate the carriage release handle in a counterclockwise direction by 180°.
2. Press push button start blade.
3. Press push button start the product holder.
4. To select the most suitable carriage stroke according to the dimensions of the product to be cut, rotate the
carriage stroke adjustment knob respectively in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to lengthen or
shorten the stroke.
DANGER
Do not touch the carriage or the product holder when the machine is working.
After completing the cutting operation, press push button stop the product holder. The blade remains in

blade the rotation of the blade stops. Re-position the slice thickness control to zero and unload the product.
BLADE SHARPENING
Whenever the cut is not satisfactory, sharpen the blade. The time interval between a sharpening and the
following depends on the intensity of use of the slicer and on the kind of food you cut. Replace the blade when
the diameter becomes 10mm less than the nominal diameter. For the replacement, ask the assistant service
closest to you.
WARNING
The replacement of the blade is dangerous operation. Should the sharpening quality be not
satisfactory, replace the stones by contacting Omcan.
