Safety and Warranty

OFF IMMEDIATELY AND NOTIFY THE SUPERVISOR.

Installation must be in accordance with the operating instructions and with local, provincial or state electrical
and safety codes. Compliance with codes is the responsibility of the owner and installer. Before operating the
machine, make sure that all phases are connected properly and that the machine is properly grounded and/
or connected to a circuit leakage breaker and thermal switch. Failure to do so could result in electric shock.

Make sure the safety signs and stickers are rmly afxed to the machine, that they are legible, and that they

do not become blurred or erased when the machine is cleaned. If they become damaged or lost, ask your
dealer for new ones and replace them. Keep your work area well lit and free of obstacles. When operating
the machine never wear loose clothing or jewelry which could get caught in the moving parts of the machine.
Unplug the machine when not in use. Keep children and on-lookers at a safe distance. To avoid damaging the
electrical cord, keep it out of areas where it can be stepped on. Do not alter or modify the original machine

design in any way. Should the machine need repairs, consult the ofcial distribution center where the machine
was purchased. Use only original spare parts and accessories and have them properly installed by a qualied

technician. This machine has been built exclusively for meat processing. Any other use of this machine is not in
accordance with its intended application. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any possible damage
or injury resulting from improper use of this machine. Additional operating instruction manuals are available
from your dealer. Your local dealer will be happy to answer any further questions you may have.

1 YEAR PARTS AND LABOR WARRANTY

WARNING:

The packaging components (cardboard, polyethylene, and others) are classied as normal solid urban waste
and can therefore be disposed of without difculty.

In any case, for suitable recycling, we suggest disposing of the products separately (differentiated
waste) according to the current norms.

DO NOT DISCARD ANY PACKAGING MATERIALS IN THE ENVIRONMENT!

Technical Specications

Not only as an all-purpose cutter/chopper, but also as an emulsier to produce ne, delicate pastes. The cutter/

chopper can chop to perfection any type of meat mixture (for cold-cuts, sausages, frankfurters, pâtés, etc.) or

other industrial food products (onions, potatoes, carrots, lettuce, etc.). The presentation of the nal product

is optimal since the mixture is never crushed, bruised, or drained. The meat should be de-boned and precut
before being introduced into the bowl for chopping. Use only those prime materials adequate for alimentary

purposes. The manufacturer assumes no liability if the machine is used in any way that conicts with the

application for which the cutter/chopper was designed. The temperature of the mixture is constantly monitored
by a digital thermometer. The machine comes equipped with thermal motor protection. The cutter/chopper
has an automatic knife-stop feature which is activated by lifting the lid. The cutting head can be removed from

the machine in one piece for replacement or cleaning. The optional six knife grouping allows for perfect and
homogeneous blending and up to 17,000 cuts per minute (20,400 in 60 Hz models). The size of the pieces
varies depending on how long the mixture is processed. Controls via the speed control knob and main safety
switch to avoid unwanted start-ups after the power has been cut. Hermetically sealed control panel and touch­button control at 24V for single-phase machines with variable speed control. The machine’s stainless steel

construction and functional, modern design with no difcult-to-reach corners greatly facilitates the cleaning

of the cutter/chopper. The lower part of the machine is closed to prevent the entry of water or dirt and is
supported by four anti-vibration legs; this facilitates both cleaning and transportation.

Installation

STORAGE, TRANSPORT, AND DELIVERY

Always maintain the machine and its packaging in a vertical, upright position. Never pile machines one on
top of the other, nor put any weight on the machine or its packaging. The transport company assumes sole
responsibility for any damage received in transit; make sure that the machine is in proper condition upon
its delivery. If, after the proper checks have been undertaken, the condition of the machine is judged to be
satisfactory, proceed by installing it in a previously selected workspace. Because of its weight (approx. 771.6
lbs./350 kg), the unit should always be moved with a pallet mover or forklift, making sure that the blades of
the forklift are inserted properly under the lower part of the machine. Never use the knife shaft holder to lift the
machine since this could lead to serious damage of both the holder and the shaft (Pg. 13, Fig. 6). The machine
is delivered in protective packaging consisting of a wooden crate; please recycle this packaging. The total
contents of the packaging is as follows:

Installation

• Cutter/chopper.

• 2 wrenches for the assembly and dismantling of the knives (one double and one single).

• Instruction manual.

• If the machine comes with the option of a six-knife head, then four supplementary compensating rings will

be supplied so that the machine can additionally be used with just three knives in the head.

The machine should only be installed by a qualied technician and in compliance with local codes. The

electrical installation of the workplace should be equipped with power surge protection, which should then be

adjusted to the technical specications of your particular machine (see point 3, below).

1. Set the machine on a horizontal surface, leaving one meter’s space around the entire perimeter of the
machine in order to allow for safe and proper use, cleaning, and maintenance. The machine should be

positioned so that the plug is easily accessible. Also make sure that the work place has both sufcient

ventilation and good lighting. For the FP-ES-0015 table-model cutters/choppers, make sure that the surface
upon which the machine will be mounted is stable and solid enough to withstand the weight of the machine.

2. Make sure that the electrical data given on the machine’s specications plate (voltage, frequency, etc)
are compatible with those of the power source (there is a tolerance of ±10% for voltage and ±2% for
frequency). Except for FP-ES-0015 models with an optional single phase motor, the FP-ES-0015 - FP­ES-0030 cutter is a three-phase machine with a single voltage; therefore, it is not possible to change the
voltage of the motor. The electrical feed-cable/plug normally has 4 wires: 1 grounding (two-color yellow and
green), and 3 phases (either 3 black wires or 1 black wire, 1 brown wire and 1 gray wire). This color-coding
may vary depending on the norms of the country to which the machine has been shipped. It is possible to
install a lock on the main switch to eliminate the possibility of the machine being switched on accidentally
or in an unplanned fashion.

3. Before connecting the machine, use the wrenches provided to ensure that the knife grouping is properly
tightened (Pg. 13, Fig. 4). Tighten the knife grouping with the utmost care to avoid injury from accidentally
hitting the cutting head or the knives themselves.

4. With the machine completely disconnected and the main stainless steel lid open, turn the knives using a
plastic bar long enough to be able to reach the knives while remaining a safe distance from them. Make
sure the knives do not touch the bowl. To make sure that the knives do not rub against the lid, repeat the
aforementioned steps with the lid closed.

5. After verifying that the electrical specications are compatible to your power source, plug the machine in
and activate the main switch. The thermometer display on the switchboard should light up. Make sure that
the plug is appropriate for use with this type of machine. The machine is now ready to use.

IMPORTANT

Verify the proper turning direction of the knives and the bowl as follows: push the I-Start button. The machine
will begin to work and the bowl will start to turn counterclockwise. If the bowl turns in a clockwise direction, stop
the machine immediately and change 2 of the 3 phases at the power source/plug.
