Introduction
Thank you for having bought one of our products, we would like to recommend that you read our manual carefully before using the slicing machine.
As regards safety against mechanical risks, the machines described in this manual follow the directive regulations 98/37/EEC - 73/23/EEC - 89/336/EEC and the
European norms EN 1974: slicing machines - hygiene and security norms.
We are at your complete disposal for any doubts that may arise when using the machine; for more information and any proposals to improve this manual so that it
can further meet the requirements for which it has been prepared.

UM - CODE N4 N5 N6 N10 - REV 0.3
In the interests of your own safety and for the care of your slicer, take note of the following points:
As an employer
Instruct your personnel in the use of the slicer and draw their attention to the safety precautions, repeat this periodically and keep this manual near your slicer
for reference.
Who may operate the slicer?
Only properly trained and instructed personnel may operate the slicer.
Only Berkel - or authorised service engineers may rectify any faults.
No access for unauthorised persons!
Ensure that unauthorised persons and those who have not received any instruction do not operate or clean the slicer.
Authority to remove components
You are only authorised to remove the removable parts from the slicer, see the chapter "
Cleaning the slicing machine
".
You are
not
authorised to remove the remaining components and you are
never
authorised to distort or bend components.
Slicing products
Only use the slicer with those products for which it is designed, such as meat, cooked meats and cheese.
Do not use with frozen products, products on the bone or non-food products.
Slicing
Always follow the slicing instructions carefully, see the chapter on "
Loading the goods on the plate and cutting
".
The knife
Always remember that the knife is very sharp and therefore dangerous, even when the knife is stationary.
Do not operate the slicer thoughtlessly and never touch the cutting edge of the knife with your hand or fingers.
Sharpening the knife
Particular care should be exercised when sharpening the knife.
First read the instructions in the section entitled "
Sharpening the blade
" and follow these instructions carefully.
Avoid the area of the knife, especially with your hands.
Avoid touching the knife, even when the slicer is switched off, other than to clean it safely.
Thickness dial
Get into the habit of working as follows: only turn the thickness dial away from its safe setting when you are ready to begin slicing; in other words, after you
have placed the goods to be sliced on the meat tray. The same applies if you wish to reposition the product on the meat tray or remove it.
Safety precautions
3
UM - CODE N4 N5 N6 N10 - REV 0.3
Turn thickness dial right back to safe - clockwise
After slicing always reset the thickness dial right back to safe first and switch the slicer off.
Dependent on the slicer setting, please be sure that the dial is turned all the way back.
Exercise particular caution when removing product scraps from the meat tray.
Only do this once the thickness dial has been reset to zero and the slicer has been switched off.
Connection to mains
Check whether the mains voltage matches that given on the slicer. A qualified electrician may only connect “400 Volt three-phase” current slicers.
Connection to the incorrect mains voltage can seriously damage the slicer.
What to do in the event of a malfunction
Switch the slicer off immediately if you hear and/or notice anything unusual. Check in the "
Locating and eliminating failures
” to see if you can rectify
the fault yourself. If not, contact your local service agent.
RSI (Repetitive Strain Injuries)
Continuous use of a slicer may cause Repetitive Strain Injuries or related injuries. Some studies suggest that long periods of repetitive motion coupled with an
improper work environment and incorrect work habits may be linked to certain types of physical discomfort or injury.
If you feel any aching, numbing, or tingling in your neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, hands, or fingers, consult a qualified health professional.
These suggestions can help to reduce your risk of RSI:
- Take frequent breaks from use;
- Be sure to change posture frequently;
- Stand on an anti-fatigue mat or use a standing support to reduce fatigue;
- Keep your hands, forearm and wrists straight and curl your fingers under slightly;
- Set up your workspace.
Cleaning the slicer
Only allow staff who have received appropriate instruction to clean the slicer. Proceed as follows:
-
Reset the thickness dial to safe;
- Switch the slicer off;
- Remove the mains plug from the wall socket;
- Do not use any aggressive and/or abrasive cleaning agents- do not use any steam or high-pressure cleaners;
- Clean the slicer thoroughly especially pointed, sharp and round components.
Careless cleaning can be dangerous for yourself and may invalidate the terms of the guarantee.
Environment
Keep your work place clean and dry, then you will always have a safe environment.
Workplace
Ensure that the slicer is installed in stable fashion on a solid work surface. Check yourself that there is no danger of the slicer sliding or falling.
Ensure that there is sufficient space around the slicer and keep the workplace clean and orderly. Do not use the slicer as a storage area. Place nothing on it
which does not belong there.
Transport
Remember that the slicer is very heavy. The slicer must always be moved by at least two people.
Always seek the assistance of colleagues when moving the machine.
