2.2 - POSITIONING
Position the pallet, with the slicer, on a
flat surface and take off (a) the cap
from the slicer (Fig. n°12).
At this point turn the machine on its
side (Fig. n°13) and unscrew, with the
proper wrench provided, the 4 nuts
which fasten the slicer. Remove the 4
washers and unscrew the 4 fastening
tie rods on the wooden pallet. Take off
the pallet and fasten the 4 feet provi-
ded. Finally, put the cap in its place.
Position the slicer in the predestined
place.
The dimensions indicated in Tab. 1-2-3
(according to the model) must be kept
in mind for the plane where the slicer
will be installed, therefore it must be
wide enough, well-levelled, dry,
smooth, robust, stable about 80 cm
high off the ground and at least 20 cm
from walls, objects, shelves, etc. (Fig.
n°14) in respect to the space
necessary for its use and safeguarding.
Furthermore the machine must be
placed in an environment with a maxi-
mum humidity of 75%, not salty and
with a temperature between +5°C and
+35°C; in any case in environments
which do not lead to deviations of the
above.
Make sure the graduated hand grip is in
posiion “0”.
Check the alignment of the blade-plane
thickness gauge by running a finger
(Fig. n°16) from the blade towards the
thickness gauge plane (never in the op-
posite direction). Unscrew and screw
the feet on the operator’s side until the
correct alignment is found (Fig. n°17).

8. Carry out resharpening the blade as soon as the cut product has a threaded or
rough surface, therefore thecutting effort increases (chapter 5.3).
5.3 - SHARPENING THE BLADE
1.disinsert the plug from the outlet and
carefully clean the blade with
denatured alcohol so it is degreased;
2.lift (a) the sharpener cap (1) and turn
it 180° (b Fig. n°43);
WARNING: the machine must be cleaned before the knife is sharpened.
Failing to do so will damage the sharpening stones, resulting in poor knife
sharpening.
WARNING: Before starting to sharpen the blade, pay attention to
RESIDUAL RISKS (chapter 4.2.2)
concerning the dangers of cutting
without having followed the
instructions listed below.
To sharpen the blade, which needs to be
done periodically as soon a decrease in
cutting is noticed, the following directions
must be adhered to:

3.let it go in a way that the cap (c) fits
on the locator pins (d Fig. n°44);
4.check also that the blade stays be-
tween the two grinders;
5.insert the pin and start the machine,
by pressing the “ON” push-button;
6.press the push-button (2 Fig.n°45),
let the blade rotate in contact with the
grinder for about 30/40 sec. so that a
slight burr forms on the blade edge;
