WARNING:
The packaging components (cardboard, polyethylene, and others) are classied as normal solid urban waste
and can therefore be disposed of without difculty.
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 Specications
Not only as an all-purpose cutter/chopper, but also as an emulsier 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 conicts 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 difcult-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.

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 qualied 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 specications 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 sufcient
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 specications 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 specications 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.
6
Operation
Before operating, clean the machine carefully, following the instructions in the MAINTENANCE section.
Do not overload the bowl; the mixture should not rise above the bowl’s rim. Do not rest mixture containers on
the edge of the bowl or on the safety guard as this could cause accidents or mechanical damage. Use extreme
caution when adding or removing the mixture; do not put your hands near the knives or reach into the bowl.
If necessary, use ice chips to lower the temperature of the mixture. Do not use cubes or blocks of ice as these
could damage the knife edge. Never reach into the bowl with your hands or arms while the cutter/chopper is
running. Never put your hands under the stainless steel lid. Eliminate any possibility of having your hands,
clothing or other personal effects trapped by or dragged under either of the lids or into the machine. This
machine is not designed to withstand permanent, uninterrupted use, but rather to run intermittently with pauses
to allow for the dissipation of built-up heat, the amount of which will vary depending on the consistency of the
mixture.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR 2-SPEED ELECTRIC CUTTERS
Start with the machine totally off, that is, with both the main safety switch and the speed control knob in the
“0” (stop) position. Close the two lids one after the other (steel, then plastic). Be careful not to trap your hand
under either lid in this process. Turn the main safety switch to the “I” (on) position. The digital thermometer
display will light up. Turn the speed control knob to position “1” (low). The knives and the bowl will begin to turn.
The speed control knob has three positions: “0” (stop), “1” (slow), and “2” (fast). These can be selected as
needed at any given moment. To stop the machine completely, turn the speed control knob to the “0” (stop)
position. The knives and bowl will stop moving. Do not stop the machine using the main safety switch as this
should only be used with the speed control knob in the “0” (stop) position. Wait until the bowl and knives have
stopped completely before opening the knife lid. When nished using the machine, turn it off completely by
turning the main safety switch to the “0” position.
Maintenance
CLEANING
Always turn the machine off before proceeding with its cleaning. To do this, deactivate the auxiliary fuse board
switch and turn off the main operating switch. If possible, disconnect the machine from the power source
as well. The machine should be cleaned daily, both before and after its use. Given the easy access to all its
components, the unit is simple to clean using just warm water and a mild detergent. Never use bleach nor
any abrasive cleaners which could damage the stainless steel or other materials. Never use steam or a high
pressure jet of water to clean the cutter/chopper; avoid getting water in the interior of the machine, especially
through or around any electrical components. After every operating session, use a brush to carefully clean
the bowl, the knife shaft, and the interior part of the knife lid, as well as the plastic cover, the hinge of the lid,
and the lid holding screws if necessary. Do not put your hands near the cutting edge of the knives without
using adequate protection (gloves made of reinforced metal ber). The knife head can be removed in one
piece (Fig. 5) in order to clean it under running water; take care not to drop the knife head assemblage on the
oor or on your feet. Do not wash the knives in water hotter than 60°C or colder than 10°C. Do not wash the
7
Maintenance
knives immediately after using the machine since a brusque change in temperature could cause internal micro
ssures or deformations. It is extremely important to keep the surfaces holding the knives and separation rings
clean to avoid build-up of mixture residues. Such a build-up could create areas which bear more pressure than
others, possibly causing micro ssures that could damage or break the knife. To clean the machine manually,
always use appropriate safety equipment (latex gloves, plastic aprons, etc.). Always rinse the machine
thoroughly after using any kind of detergent or disinfectant and be sure to follow the manufacturers’ instructions
when using cleaning products. We recommend using the following products:
• Neutral detergent/degreaser pH 7. Due to its neutral pH, no special precautions are necessary. Rinse
thoroughly.
• Detergent/degreaser for manual cleaning. Use appropriate precautions and safety gear. Rinse thoroughly.
• Alkaline detergent with disinfectant and anti-corrosive components. Use appropriate precautions and safety
gear. Rinse thoroughly.
• Disinfectant based on quaternary ammonium salts. Use appropriate precautions and safety gear. Rinse
thoroughly.
Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations carefully when using these or any other products.
Except for daily cleaning, the only maintenance required by the chopper is the changing of the transmission
belts after every 2,500 hours of operation. All mechanical or electrical repairs should be undertaken only by a
qualied specialist with proper training for the work required. After replacing the transmission belt, be sure to
position the turnbuckle roller parallel to the belt, tightening the nut which attaches the roller to its base securely.
If the electrical cord becomes damaged, have it replaced immediately with a cord of identical technical
characteristics (your local distributor can supply you with one).
DISMANTLING THE CUTTING HEAD
REMOVING THE WHOLE HEAD
In order to proceed with the cleaning or replacement of the cutting head while maintaining the settings of the
existing knives, the cutting head can be removed in one piece. Proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the machine by turning off the main switch; for added safety, turn off the isolating switch in the
main fuse board and unplug the machine.
• Never touch the knife-edge with your hands. Always use gloves made of metallic netting.
• With the wrenches provided unscrew the cap nut at the end of the knife shaft in a CLOCKWISE direction
(Pg. 13, Fig. 4 - step 1). Pull the entire assembly towards the left until you have separated it from the shaft
(Pg. 13, Fig. 5). If necessary, hit the base of the knife holder several times with a plastic mallet to remove it;
never hit the knives themselves with any instrument or tool.
To reassemble the cutting head, repeat the dismantling operations in reverse order, taking into account the
assembly recommendations listed in the section below.
DISMANTLING THE KNIVES SEPARATELY
In order to remove the knives separately while leaving the knife-head assembly attached to the shaft, proceed
as follows:

Maintenance
• Disconnect the machine by turning off the main switch; for added safety, turn off the isolating switch in the
main fuse board and unplug the machine.
• Never touch the knife-edge with your hands. Always use gloves made of metallic netting. With the
wrenches provided unscrew the cap nut at the end of the knife shaft in a CLOCKWISE direction (Pg. 13,
Fig. 4). With the same wrenches, but using two sides of the same width, unscrew (also in a CLOCKWISE
direction) and remove the knife xing nut ring.
• Remove the knives and the compensating rings separately, remembering rst to make a note of their order
and position (Pg. 12, Fig. 2).
To reassemble the knife head, repeat the dismantling operations in reverse order, making sure of the following:
• The xing nut for the knife grouping is not tightened completely until the knives have been turned (with the
help of a bar made of a pliant material) to ensure that the knives do not touch or rub against the bowl or the
lid.
• Adjust each knife so that there is a 2-3 mm space between each knife and the bowl (Pg. 12, Fig. 3). For
this adjustment we recommend using a space gauge made of a pliant material (cardboard, cork, etc.) to
follow the path marked by the end of each knife and a plastic mallet to adjust the knives accordingly.
• For safety reasons, do not try to leave a space of 0 mm between the knives and the bow. This is not
recommendable because the strong vibrations which result under certain operating conditions could cause
one or more of the knives to make contact with the bowl.
• The knives are equipped with a ange which functions as a knife stop. During installation, this ange
should stay in contact with the knife holder.
• Once the knife-head has been reassembled correctly, tighten both the head and the xing nut for the knife
assembly with the wrenches provided.
SHARPENING THE KNIVES
If the quality of the cutting/chopping should noticeably diminish, the knives should be sharpened by a qualied
professional, paying special attention to maintaining the length and weight of each of the knives in a given
group or head. The knives should only be sharpened by an expert specialized in the sharpening of tempered
knives. Before sharpening the knives, consider whether the resulting reduction in size will be substantial
enough to warrant the installation of completely new knives. In principle, the external knife-edge should not
be reduced more than 1 cm from its original size. Once the knives have been sharpened, before reinstalling
them in the machine, a small space should be led from the stop ange located in the hexagonal area (Fig. 3)
to compensate for any possible shortening of the knives. To clean the knife surfaces, use a product with anticorrosive properties. Always store the knives in their packaging; this will help maintain the cutting edge and it
will protect them from any accidental bumps or friction. Always transport the knives in their packaging when
possible. To adjust or move the knives always use adequate safety measures and equipment.
