Technical Specications
The machine is essentially made of a base supporting a circular blade mounted in a tilted 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) by gravity. 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 provided with auxiliary circuit preventing accidental restarts
after an outage. Some of the machine models have a user-friendly and safe 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.
6
Technical Specications
On request the following are available:
• Safety micro-switch preventing the motor from starting when the blade guard is removed.
WARNING: RESIDUAL RISKS
Notwithstanding all the possible cautions taken during the design and the construction of the machine,
residual risks (cutting) still exist during use or during cleaning or maintenance. Therefore be careful
and PAY THE UTMOST ATTENTION to what you are doing. DO NOT use the machine if you are not in
perfect psychological and physical conditions. DO NOT ALLOW anyone near the machine when it is
in use. ALWAYS wear gloves that can resist cuts or tears when cleaning, lubricating or sharpening
the blade. Slice only the products mentioned as sliceable. NEVER try to slice products that have been
mentioned as non sliceable.
ACCESSORIES
If not otherwise dened at the moment of order, the machines are supplied together with the following:
• EU conformity declaration;
• Instructions manual for installation, use and maintenance.
PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE SLICED
• All types of cold cuts (raw, cooked, smoked).

Installation
INSTALLING THE MACHINE
Position the machine on a well leveled, smooth and dry top suitably dimensioned to withstand the machine
weight.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Install the machine near a compliant outlet derived from a system meeting the local norms.
8
Installation
The user is responsible for ascertaining that the electrical system is suitably dimensioned and functions
correctly (supply line, outlet, distribution panel, differential protecting breaker, grounding).
Before carrying out the connection ascertain that the mains characteristics correspondent to those indicated
on the machine plate.
COMMANDS
START AND STOP BUTTONS / SWITCHES
• Turn switch or press the white or green button (1) to start running the blade.
• The light turns on to indicate that the machine works correctly.
• Turn switch or press the red or black button to stop the blade.
Slice thickness can be adjusted by turning the graduated knob (4) counterclockwise.
Thickness adjustment range: see paragraph “Technical description and conditions of use”.
FUNCTIONING TEST AND BLADE ROTATION DIRECTION
Start the machine and check whether the light is on; make sure that the blade rotates in the direction indicated
by the arrow (counterclockwise if you look at the machine from the blade plate side).
• Ascertain that the carriage and the product grip slide correctly.
• Ascertain that the gauge plate works and adjust thickness to desired value.
9
Operation
USING THE MACHINE
LOADING THE PRODUCT ON THE TRAY AND SLICING
• Ascertain that the thickness control knob is correctly positioned to ‘0’.
• Draw back the carriage completely (towards the operator) to loading position.
• Lift the product grip by pulling it away by 10 cm from the blade and put it in rest position.
• Lay the product to be sliced against the guide plate on the operator side.
• Secure by means of the product grip by exerting a slight pressure.
• Adjust the thickness gauge. Start the blade by turning the switch or by pressing on the white or green
button.
• Grip the handle afxed onto the plate and start the forward and backward cutting movement. The product
travels towards the guide plate by gravity.
• When the product weight or its dimensions do not provide a satisfactory cut by effect of the gravity, use the
product grip handle.
• When nished, return the thickness control knob to ‘0’ and draw the carriage back.
• Stop the blade by pressing the black or red button.
Maintenance
CLEANING THE SLICER
GENERAL
The machine must always be accurately cleaned at least once a day, and more often if necessary.
Always use protective gloves.
10
Maintenance
DISASSEMBLING THE MACHINE FOR CLEANING
• Disconnect the plug from the mains.
• Turn the gauge plate know to ‘0’.
• Remove the various components as described in the following paragraphs.
• Unscrew (counterclockwise) the blade guard tie-rod.
• If the blade guard is blocked, press on the rod knob to move it a little.
• Extract the rod and remove the blade guard using for this operation only the side knobs.
• Loosen and remove the two xing screws with knurled head.
• Remove the slice guard.
To clean the machine body and the blade use only a cloth damped with water and biodegradable
lathery detergent having 7-8 pH and at a temperature not below 30°C/86°F. Do not clean the machine by
using water or vapor sprays or similar systems.
WARNING:
Use scratch-proof and non-slip gloves to carry out the following operations. Proceed carefully and pay
attention to what you are doing. DANGER OF CUTTING!
REASSEMBLING THE MACHINE
Proceed as indicated for the previous operations but in reverse order.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The operator is allowed to perform the following maintenance operations:
• Blade sharpening: regularly (intervals and duration obviously depend on the use of the machine, time of
use and type of product sliced).
• Lubrication of carriage sliding guides: once a week.
• Lubrication of product grip sliding bar: once a week.
• Adjustment of motor belt tension: as required.
• Checking the power supply cord conditions and of the gland plate: from time to time.
11
Maintenance
WARNING
Maintenance must always be carried out when the machine is disconnected from the mains and if no other
position is specically required, with the thickness control knob on ‘0’.
The following maintenance operations are to be entrusted only to personnel authorized by the
manufacturer:
• Replacing the blade.
• Replacing the sharpener stones.
• Replacing the motor transmission belt.
• Replacing electrical system components under the machine base.
• Repairing structural parts, repairing the components under the base.
BLADE SHARPENING
Before proceeding, clean the machine accurately as explained in the previous paragraphs.
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.
SHARPENING VERSIONS WITH BUILT-IN SHARPENER
To sharpen the blade periodically as soon as the cutting capacity decreases. Please proceed as per the
following instructions:
1. After disconnecting form the mains, clean the blade accurately using denaturized alcohol to degrease it.
2. Loosen the knob and turn the sharpener by 180° and insert the wheels on the slicer blade. Relock the
knob.
3. Operate the switch and press the button.
4. Allow the blade to rotate for about 30 to 40 seconds then use the switch 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.
5. If some spud is found, operate the switch again for 3 to 4 seconds by pressing the buttons 4 and 5 at the
same time.
DO NOT PROLONG THIS OPERATION BEYOND THE FEW SECONDS MENTIONED OTHERWISE THE
BLADE EDGE WILL WARP.
6. After completing sharpening, we advise cleaning the wheels using a small brush and alcohol.
7. Now return the sharpener to its original position.
12
Maintenance
LUBRICATION
Carriage sliding guides product grip (once a week)
Use only food grade mineral oil, or use white Vaseline oil. DO NOT USE VEGETABLE OILS.
• Spread a small quantity of oil on the bar and move the assembly 3 or 4 times.
Clean as required to remove excess of oil.
ADJUSTING THE MOTOR BELT TENSION
After a given period of service an unusual noise may occur because of the belt bedding. In this case, tighten
the belt-stretcher on the side of the motor under the machine base.
