CHAPTER 1 INFORMATION ON THE MACHINE

1.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

 The slicing machine must only be used by trained personnel who must be

fully aware of the safety standards contained in this manual.

 In the event of staff turnover, ensure that training is provided.

 Although safety devices are installed on the machine at hazardous spots,

do not place hands near the blade or the moving parts.

 Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, unplug the machine from

the mains.

 When performing maintenance or cleaning on the slicing machine (and

when the protection devices are therefore removed), carefully evaluate
the residual risks.

 During maintenance or cleaning, stay focused on the operations in

progress.

 Do not use corrosive or flammable substances to clean the slicing

machine. Use mild disinfectants specific for food equipment.

 For cleaning, follow the instructions given in Chapter 6 “Routine cleaning”

carefully.

 Do not wash the slicing machine with jets of high pressure water or

submerge it in water or other liquids.

 Regularly monitor the condition of the power cable. A cable that is worn or

not intact in any way represents a serious electrical hazard.

 Do not pull the slicing machine cable or the slicing machine itself in any

way in order to unplug it!

 Do not use the slicing machine when, after repeated sharpening, the

external diameter of the blade has been reduced by 10 mm.

 If you believe or note that the slicing machine is malfunctioning, do not

use it, do not attempt to repair it directly and contact the “Service
Centre”.

6

 Do not use the slicing machine for frozen products, meat and fish with

bones and non-food products.

 Do not leave the slicing machine exposed to adverse weather conditions:

sun, rain, spray, ice, humidity.

 If the slicing machine is not used, unplug it from the mains.

 If the machine remains unused for long periods, before using it again,

have it checked by a “Service Centre”.

Caution! Never cut the product near the end without the aid of the
product pusher arm and do not assume positions where body parts
could come into direct contact with the blade.

1.2 SAFETY DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE MACHINE

N.B: In accordance with paragraph 1.7.2 “Warning of residual risks” of

Annex 1 of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, it should be noted
that the blade guard ring, in the sharpening area, does not totally
eliminate the risk of being cut. While reducing the extent of the risk,
the ring is made in compliance with European Standard EN 1974.

1.2.1 MECHANICAL SAFETY DEVICES

As regards safety devices of a mechanical nature, the slicing machine
described in this manual complies with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC
and the EN 1974 standard (Slicing machines, safety and hygiene
requirements), which envisages the following (see 1.3.3):

- removable blade guard

- irremovable fixed blade guard ring around the blade to protect the area

not used during cutting

- product pusher that cannot be completely overturned

- product pusher knob

- hand guard made of transparent plastic secured to the product holder tray

- carriage that can only be removed when the slice thickness control dial

and the ribbed thickness gauge tray is set to “0” and when the carriage is
positioned at the start of the run at the operator side. In these conditions,
the mechanical lock intervenes and it is possible to remove the product
holder tray.

1.2.2 ELECTRICAL SAFETY DEVICES

Safety devices to protect against electrical hazards have been added in accordance
with:

- EN 60335-1 standards

- EN 60335-2-64 standards

- the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/UE

- the Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/UE

A relay is inserted in the control circuit and, in the event of an accidental
power cut, requires the slicing machine to be restarted (reset) intentionally.

Figure 4 - Marking on the packaging

3.2 CHECKING THE PACKAGING UPON RECEIPT

Upon receipt of the package, if it has no external damage, open it to
check that all the material is inside (Fig. 3). If, on the other hand, upon
delivery, the package shows signs of having been mishandled, knocked
or dropped, it is necessary to point out the damage to the carrier, and
send a detailed report concerning the damage sustained by the machine
within 3 days of the delivery date indicated on the documents.
Do not overturn the packaging!! When handling the machine, ensure
that it is held firmly in the 4 corners (keep it parallel to the floor).

3.3 DISPOSING OF THE PACKAGING

The packing materials (cardboard, any wooden pallets, protective nylon
and shockproof guards) must be disposed of separately according to
current regulations in the country of installation.

16

CHAPTER 4 INSTALLATION

4.1 POSITIONING THE MACHINE

The surface on which the slicing machine must be installed must take into
account the support dimensions shown in the technical tables (depending
on the model), and therefore be sufficiently large, should be well levelled,
dry, smooth, robust and stable and at a height of 80 cm from the ground.

4.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

4.2.1 SLICING MACHINE WITH SINGLE PHASE MOTOR

The slicing machine is equipped with a power cable with a cross section of
3x1 mm2, length of 1.5 m and a “SCHUKO” plug (or specific plug for the
country of destination) to be connected to an outlet in line with EEC
standards. Connect the 230 Volt 50 Hz slicing machine, interposing a 10A,
In = 0.03 A RCD/circuit breaker.
At this point, ensure that the earthing system is in perfect working order.
Also check that the type of current indicated on the identification plate
(Fig. 5) is consistent with the voltage (V) and frequency (Hz) of the
power line.

Figure 5 - Data plate - Serial number

4.2.2 SLICING MACHINE WITH THREE PHASE MOTOR

The slicing machine is equipped with a power cable with a cross section of
5 x 1 mm2 and length of 1.5 m.
Connect the slicing machines to the 400 Volt 50 Hz three phase mains
using a CEI plug (red), interposing a 10A, In = 0.03 A RCD/circuit
breaker. At this point, ensure that the earthing system is in perfect
working order. Also check that the type of current indicated on the
identification plate (Fig. 5) is consistent with the voltage (V) and
frequency (Hz) of the power line. Before connecting the machine
permanently to the three phase supply line, check the direction of
rotation of the blade by briefly pressing the start blade button then
pressing the stop blade button (Fig. 8).

17

The direction of rotation of the blade must be anti-clockwise looking at
the slicing machine from the blade guard side. If the direction of rotation
is incorrect, reverse two wires of the three phases of power in the plug
(N.B. do not move the BLUE wire = neutral). It is advisable have this
operation carried out by trained personnel.

The three-phase motors on professional CE slicing machines can operate
with both 230V three-phase voltage and with 400 V voltage.
Unless otherwise specified, connections are made for 400 V power. In
order to adapt to 230 V three phase power, request the intervention of
the “SERVICE CENTRE”.

is between the two wheels.
Lock the knob

3. start the machine, pressing

the start blade button;

4. (Fig. 13) press the button (3),

allow the blade to turn in
contact with the wheel for
about 30/40 seconds so that a
slight burr forms on the edge
of the blade;

5. (Fig. 13) press both buttons (3

and 4) at the same time for
3/4 seconds, then release
them both at the same time;

6. (Fig. 14) once sharpening has

been completed, switch the
machine off and put the
sharpening device back in its
original position, following the
procedure in reverse order.

7. after sharpening, it is

advisable to clean the wheels
(see paragraph 6.2.3);

N.B.: Do not perform deburring for
more that 3/4 seconds to prevent the
edge of the blade from being twisted
and becoming damaged.

Figure 15 - Carriage view

Before starting the chapter, it is important to make a clarification: the CE
automatic gravity range of professional slicing machines complies with regulatory
measures for electrical and mechanical protection devices both during operation
and during cleaning and maintenance. There do, however, exist RESIDUAL
RISKS (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC) which cannot be eliminated completely,
and which are mentioned in this manual marked by the word CAUTION!. These
concern the danger of cutting resulting from handling the blade during
cleaning and maintenance.

6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

- The machine must be cleaned at least once a day or, if necessary, more

frequently.

- All parts of the slicing machine that come into direct or indirect contact

with the food to be cut must be thoroughly cleaned.

- The slicing machine must be cleaned with pressure washers, high pressure

water jets, and tools, brushes or anything else that could damage the
surface of the machine must not be used.

Before performing any cleaning, it is necessary to:

1. disconnect the plug from the mains to completely isolate the

machine from the rest of the system;

2. set the graduated dial that adjusts the ribbing to “0”;

3. remove the carriage.

6.2 HOW TO CLEAN THE SLICING MACHINE

CAUTION!: use only mild detergent (pH 7) with water for cleaning.

6.2.2 CLEANING THE BLADE, THE BLADE GUARD AND THE RING

Loosen the blade guard rod knob (1)
so as to allow extraction of the blade
guard (2)

Pass a damp cloth in the space
between the blade and the blade
guard ring. Rotate it for one turn
together with the blade.

Figure 16 - Detaching the blade

guard

Figure 17 - Cleaning the blade

with the cloth

CAUTION!: This operation must be performed with the utmost
attention and concentration, as there is a risk of being cut. To this
end, it is advisable to use appropriate protective gloves.

In order to clean the surface opposite the blade and the ring, it is necessary
to remove the slicing machine blade. Caution! This procedure is only
recommended if in possession of the plexiglass blade extractor. The
procedure for extracting the blade is as follows (see Fig. 18):

27

1. Remove the product holder tray

(see paragraph 6.2.1)

2. remove the blade guard (Fig. 16)

3. remove the sharpening device (a)

and, using the graduated dial, set
the ribbed thickness gauge tray
(g) to “0”;

4. rest the extractor (b) on the

blade, so that the discharge (h)
coincides with the position of the
ring (c);

5. tighten the two dials (e) without

overtightening them;

6. unscrew the screws (f) securing

the blade, using protective
gloves and remove the blade
securely by gripping the two
knobs;

7. after cleaning, replace the blade

by performing the steps in reverse
over

CHAPTER 7 MAINTENANCE

7.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before performing any maintenance, it is necessary to:

a. disconnect the plug from the mains to completely isolate the machine

from the rest of the system.

b. Set the graduated knob that adjusts the ribbing to “0”

7.2 MAINTENANCE

7.2.1 BELT

The belt does not need any adjustment. It must usually be replaced after
3/4 years. For replacement, call the “SERVICE CENTRE”.

7.2.2 FEET

Over time, the feet may deteriorate and lose their elasticity, decreasing the
stability of the machine. It then becomes necessary to replace them.

7.2.3 POWER CABLE

Check the condition of the cable regularly and call the “SERVICE CENTRE”

if it becomes necessary to replace it.

7.2.4 BLADE

Check that the diameter of the blade, after considerable sharpening, is
not reduced by more that 10 mm compared to the original diameter.
To replace it, call the “SERVICE CENTRE”.

7.2.5 WHEELS

Check that the wheels continue to have their abrasive capacity during
sharpening. If this is not the case, they must be replaced to avoid

damage to the blade, therefore it is necessary to call the “SERVICE
CENTRE”

29

7.2.6 LUBRICATING THE SLIDING GUIDES

The sliding guides on the
carriage must be lubricated
regularly using the oil supplied.
To do this, put a few drops of oil
into the hole located next to the
graduated dial and identified by
the OIL plate.
Occasionally, lift the machine up
(Fig. 20) and lubricate the points
indicated by arrows 1 and 2.

Figure 20 - Lubrication Points

INFORMATION FOR USERS
In accordance with Article 13 of Italian Legislative

Decree of 25 July 2005 no. 151 “Implementation of
Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and
2003/108/EC, regarding reducing the use of
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment, in addition to waste disposal”.

.

CHAPTER 8 DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL

The crossed-out rubbish bin symbol shown on the slicing machine indicates that, at
the end of its useful life, the product must be collected separately from other
waste.

The user must, therefore, take the slicing machine which has reached the end of
its life cycle to a suitable collection centre for electronic and electrotechnical
waste or return it to the dealer when purchasing a new, equivalent slicing
machine on a one-for-one basis.

Appropriate separate waste collection for subsequent sending of the disused
slicing machine for recycling, treatment and compatible environmental
disposal contributes to preventing possible negative effects on the
environment and favours recycling of the materials of which the slicing
machine is composed.
The abusive disposal of the product by the user leads to the application of the
penalties envisaged by current regulations regarding the matter.
