SYMBOLOGY MEANING
The following shows the specied symbols and their denitions which will be used in the
manual:
DANGER
This symbol shows the danger for those who work on the machine and those in the vicinity.
The indicated activity must be performed in accordance with the accident prevention standards
and with the indications showed in the manual.
PRECAUTION
The symbol is used to indicate a warning on useful information or recommendations about an
operation.
ATTENTION
The symbol is used to show that an operation should be performed with attention to avoid
damage to the machine.
The grater machine is designed to:
1. Grate tough cheese, bread and biscuits.
The machine is constituted from an electric motor inserted in a
unique fusion (basic machine body). In any versions the fusion can
be recovered from a bonnet (hulled machine body). The product is
loaded manually inside the grater mouth and placed in the top side
of the machine, always done manually. Through pressure on the
handle, the product is pushed against the grater roll. The product
load must be in a moderate quantity to avoid low pressure, due to the
safety micro switch placed in the pressure lock. The grater roll, which
can be stamped or milled, cannot be removed from the machine.
In accordance with the functioning requirements and production,
the machine can be substituted with different optional parts. The
machine is supplied with the identication plate on which the
following data is shown:

WARNINGS ON THE RESIDUAL RISKS
RESIDUAL RISK DUE TO THE FIXED PROTECTIONS REMOVAL, INTERVENTIONS ON BROKEN/WORN
PARTS
The operator must not try to open or remove a protection measure or tamper a safety device.
In the phase of maintenance and cleaning, and during all further manual operations that
happens to introduce the hands or other body parts in the machine’s dangerous areas, a
residual risk remains due above all to:
1. Hitting with machine manufacturing parts,
2. Grazing and/or abrasion with machine rough parts,
3. Injury from the sharpened parts,
4. Lacerations from a tool having sharpened parts.
The operator and maintenance personnel must be skilled for the intervention connected to the manual
operations with open protections, must be trained on joined consequent risks and must be authorized from a
responsible person.
PROTECTION DEVICES ON THE MACHINE
The machine protections and safety devices must not be removed. If they must be removed for
extraordinary maintenance requirements, some measures will have to be immediately adopted.
To put in evidence and to reduce amount of danger. The reassembling aspect of the protection or safety
devices must happen as soon as the extraordinary circumstance has completed.

7
Safety and Warranty
The machine transmission parts are completely isolated by means of xed protections which do not allow
access improper objects. For all safety functions including the control and check systems, well-tested
components and safety principles have been used.
Grater group:
1. Taking into account the machine’s modality and use, the moving elements are not isolated from the
protections and safety devices,
2. On the handle and pressure group, a micro switch is placed, which stops the grater roll rotation so it is
possible to access the grater mouth,
3. Fingers are prevented from accessing the grater roll as there is a xed protection piece to stop this.

PACKING REMOVAL – OPENING MODALITY
PACKING DESCRIPTION – HOW TO GET RID OF THE PACKING MATERIAL
The machines are package so that the liquids inside and organic matters are not present. There is a
polyethylene cover around the machine which is then inserted in a cardboard box of adequate size. The empty
spaces within the box are occupied with ll material.
Do not waste the packaging, but store it for possible transportation or locate a recycling agency for disposal.
It is an employer’s obligation to be acquainted of the laws in its own country and observe these legislations. It
is forbidden and liable to nes to leave the machine and electric equipment in the environment.
PREPARATION PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
STABILITY
The machine stability is designed so that in normal functioning conditions, taking into account the climatic
conditions, the machine can be used without reversal risk, fall or inopportune movement. Taking into account
the conformation and the position of the machine, it will function without fastening it to the working ground.
GRATER ROLL ROTATION
The operations indicated must be performed by the maintenance person (skilled personnel
in the electric maintenance eld of industrial machinery). For machines fed with three phase
voltage (3 PE AC 400V 50Hz), slacken lightly the blockage wheel to not have a strong
