4.3 General description

The slicing machine has been designed and made according to the EEC Directive 2006/42.
The machine offers the user:

- maximum safety when in use, during cleaning and ordinary maintenance;

- maximum hygiene from the use of stainless steel materials or adequately protected against

oxidization together with an careful design of all the parts that come into contact with food;

- maximum cutting precision and capacity together with strength and reliability of the structure;

- the chance to work continuously.

The machine is essentially made up of a base that holds a circular knife that is inclined, equipped with
two electric motors (one for blade rotation, one for carriage movement) which allow both automatic
and manual cutting. The food table, which is made up of a plate and a sliding upper table, also has an
appropriate self-stopping device to keep the product in its proper place during cutting operations
(food press).
The thickness of the slice is regulated by a thickness plate behind the knife; this plate, on which the
food is placed, can be moved transversally to the knife at the thickness of the desired slice.
All the components of the machine are made of a light aluminium alloy and magnesium Peraluman 3,
polished and anodized, in stainless steel and plastic for food products as according to the sanitary
regulations in force so the structure is sturdy, reliable, easy to clean and does not alter in time.
The cutting knife is operated by a self-ventilated motor, under the base; the motor transmission is
obtained with a belt which has longitudinal grooves, guaranteeing a quiet running.
They can equipped with a slice counting device with pre-selector which means the desired number of
slices can be selected, when the selected number is reached the carriage stops; the carriage run can
also be regulated so it can be adapted to the size of the product on the food plate.
The machine has a sharpener which is extremely easy and safe to use.
The food plate, slice deflector and knife cover can be removed for cleaning.

4.3.1 Safety

The mechanical safety devices are the following:

• Irremovable safety ring around the knife (knife protection);

• Food plate which can only be removed if the index knob of the thickness plate is in the ‘zero’

position and the carriage is at the end of its position on the operator’s side. Once the arm
complete with food plate has been removed the thickness plate is locked in the above
mentioned position;

• A transparent protection on the food plate.

The electric safety devices are the following:

• Start-up with start and stop buttons with a low tension control circuit that also requires a
voluntary re-start of the machine in the case of an electric circuit interruption.

4.3.2 Residual risks

WARNING: The safety ring around the knife is made according to the European regulation (EN

1974:1998+A1) but this protection does not completely eliminate risks in the sharpening area.

When cleaning and sharpening the knife, be very careful and always concentrate on the job at hand.
We recommend the use of protective gloves.

5. INSTALLATION

5.1. Installing the machine

Install the machine on a surface which is level,
smooth, dry and suitable for the weight of the
machine plus the food to be sliced; refer to
paragraph3.1.
WARNING: Check that there is nothing that can get
in the way of the plate and the food that is to be
cut on the plate.

5.2 Index knob for slice thickness

The thickness of the slice is regulated by turning the
graduated scale knob (3) counterclockwise.
Regulating field: see paragraph 3.1.

5.3 Electrical connection

The machine must be installed close to an EEC
regulation socket in a system which conforms to
the regulations in force with:

- magnetothermal protection;

- automatic differential switch;

- grounding system.

Before connecting, verify that the electric supply
mains is suitable for the machine by checking the
technical data plate on the machine.

The slicer is fitted with a power supply cord of
about 2 metres length, complete with a plug to
allow a simple disconnection from the electric
mains supply.
ALWAYS indicate the presence of the power supply
cord if the slicer cannot be installed near a socket
and if in the installation zone there is a transit of
people.
If the power supply cord is not long enough you will
require the technical assistance service and do not
proceed with a temporary electrical connection.
