SAFETY INFORMATION, RISKS AND RESIDUAL RISKS

1.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS, RISKS AND RESIDUAL RISKS

The slicer should be used by trained personnel only, who must be completely familiar with the safety
regulations contained in this manual. Should it be necessary to alternate operators, training should be
provided in good time.

Despite the EC professional slicers are equipped with devices in order to prevent electrical and
mechanical risks (both during operation and during cleaning and maintenance operations), there are
residual risks not be completely eliminated, which appear in this manual in the form of CAUTION.
They concern the risk of cuts, bruises and other caused by knife or other machine components.

Provide to operator accessories needed to protect the person: metal mesh safety gloves, gloves with high­grip, gowns with elastic cuffs, caps to keep hair, safety shoes.

Even though the machine is well provided with safety devices, hands should not come near the blade or other
moving parts.

Do not use your hands to hold the product to be sliced. Always pushing the product holder with carriage
handle. Be especially careful when using the grip of the plates mod. "SMARTY IX&VX" because they have
sharp pins to hold the goods, which can cause skin damage. We recommend the use of metal mesh safety
gloves.

Avoid to wear clothes and accessories that can be caught by moving parts of the slicer (necklaces, bracelets,
ties, scarves, ear wire, scarves).

Do not let affection grippers or other accessories work.

Do not use the slicer for frozen products, meat or fish containing bones, or for anything except foodstuffs.

Do not use the machine for vegetable cutting, unless for some it is possible to use the standard holding and
pushing devices.

Always check that the run pilot lamp lights up when the machine is switched ON.

Before any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the machine from the mains.

When cleaning or servicing the slicer (i.e. when the guards have been removed) keep in mind the residual
risks

Check the power cable periodically. A worn or damaged cable constitutes a serious electrical hazard. If the
cable is damaged it must be replaced by a special cable or assembly available from the TAS authorized by
Manconi

Switch off the slicer in case of unusual noise.

Place the slicer machine in a dry place, non-slippery, with good lighting, glare or flashing, no position on the
outside.

Do not attempt any repair by yourself, but always call in the MANCONI authorised TAS.

After each use, always turn off the slicer, always close the gauge plate, do not leave the slicing machine
with removable parts or disassembled parts in a position that could cause damage.

1.2 MECHANICAL SAFETY

As far as safety against mechanical risks are concerned, the slicer described in this manual complies with the
Directive EN 1974: 1998 + A1 “Food processing machinery – Slicing machines – Safety and hygiene
requirements” so is compliant with machine directive 2006/42/CE.

Safety has been achieved by means of:

a) A non-removable blade guard around the blade, to protect the area not used for the cutting.

b) A food carriage that can be removed only when the gauge plate knob is at the stroke end clockwise (i.e. on
a position to protect the cutting edge of the blade) and when the carriage is at the end of its stroke towards the
operator. These conditions are blocked mechanically by the food carriage removing.

c) Removable blade cover.

d) A set of finger-guards in transparent plastic material, mounted on the food carriage.

e) The last slice device may not be stopped in the upper position for 60 mm from the blade (applicable to CE
models only).

CAUTION!
In compliance with paragraph 1.7.2 “WARNING ABOUT RESIDUAL RISKS” of directive 98/37/EC
Annex I, we draw your attention to the fact that the blade safety guard does not completely eliminate
the risk of cuts in the s harpening area, although it drastically reduces the possibility and the extent of
injury.

1.3 ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The protection against electrical risks conforms to Norm EN 60204 and so it complies with the requirements
of Directive 2006/95/EC.

The control circuit has been fitted with a relay that necessitates deliberate relighting of the slicer in the event
of accidental loss of current.

Given to the good insulation of t he electrical circuit and the excellent rust-resistance materials employed, the
slicer can be installed and used even in damp premises. It is built to resist the washing conditions created by a
rain jet of water (protection IPX3).

Section 2

TECHNICAL DATA

2.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This slicer has been designed to provide:

- Possibility to cut without interruption any type of sausages, ham, meat, cheese and all the products that can
be blocked on the carriage.

- Safety in operation, cleaning and maintenance.

- Maximum hygiene, thanks to the meticulous design of components in co ntact with the foodstuff and b y the
use of rustproof materials.

- High cutting precision.

- Maximum cutting capability.

- Toughness of all the parts.

- Ergonomic and rational movements for the maximum ease of use.

- Use at temperatures between 5°C and 40°C (41.0 to 104.0 °F).

2.2 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS

- External parts of the machine are produced in aluminium-magnesium alloy suitable for the contact with the
foodstuff, mirror polished and anodised.

- Parts and bits in stainless steel, to avoid risks of oxidations.

- The cutting blade is driven by a completely enclosed motor with ample external ventilation, drive
transmission is obtained with a ground worm screw and helical gear.

- Noise and vibration are not considered to be significant hazards.

- Blade sharpener
Integrated sharpener: is developed for a simple and e safety use. The group is removable for an easy

cleaning operation

- Safety devices comply with current regulations; some of these are made of resistant plastic materials
suitable for contact with foodstuffs, and are transparent for easier control of the cutting operations.

- Sealed electrical parts and suitable materials make it possible to wash the outside of the slicer with a rain jet
of water.

2.3 DIMENSIONS AND PERFORMANCES
