Technical Specications
The machine is essentially made of a base supporting a circular blade mounted in a vertical position. This
blade is driven by an electrical motor to slice foodstuffs. The machine is equipped with a carriage holding a
product tray and sliding on a bar mounted under the base top, parallel to the blade. Slice thickness is adjusted
by means of a gauge plate mounted in front of the blade. This plate, against which rests the product to be
sliced is moved transversely with respect to the blade by a value corresponding to the desired slice thickness.
The product is fed to the machine towards the gauge plate. All the machine components are made of polished
and anodically oxidized aluminium alloy, of stainless steel and food grade plastic material. The blade is driven
by an electrical motor, transmission is by means of a longitudinally grooved belt. The machine is started and
stopped by a control button or switch. These models have a built-in blade sharpener.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY DEVICES
The following mechanical safety devices were installed:
• A series of aluminium and transparent plastic guards on the product carriage.
Safety and Warranty
• Open the box and remove your copy of the manual of use and maintenance, then proceed according to the
instructions found on that manual;
• Lift the machine still wrapped in a transparent polyethylene sheet and extract it from the box;
• Now check the box content and make sure it corresponds to what shown on the external label.

WARNING: Sharpening can be done only up to 12 mm of the blade diameter value. Beyond this value, the
BLADE MUST BE REPLACED ONLY by personnel AUTHORIZED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
Clean the blade accurately using denaturised alcohol to degrease it; Operate the graduated knob by turning it
towards the left to open completely;

18
Loosen the knob (1), lift and rotate the sharpener by 180° (2) and insert the wheels on the slicer blade.
Tighten the knob;
Operate the Blade by using the switch (3), keep the small button (4) pushed; Allow the blade to rotate for about
30 to 40 seconds then use the switch (5) to stop it.
Brush a pencil lightly on the external side of the blade to check for a slight spud; We advise performing this
operation with the utmost care, as the blade is extremely sharp.
Maintenance
