- In case of a personnel turnover, training is to be provided in advance.
- Although the machine incorporates safety devices and protections for dangerous parts, it is recommended not to
touch the moving parts.
- Before starting cleaning and maintenance operations, disconnect the plug from the supply socket.
- To carry out cleaning and maintenance, assess the residual risks carefully (as protections are removed).
- Cleaning and maintenance require concentration.
- A regular check of the power supply cable is absolutely necessary; a worn-out or damage cord is very dangerous.

1.2.1 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The vegetable cutter has been designed and manufactured by our firm with the aim of ensuring:
- the highest degree of safety during use, cleaning and maintenance;
- the highest standard of hygiene due to a careful selection of materials which come into contact with food products,
elimination of sharp edges in the machine structure that come into contact with the food product, facilitating and ensuring perfect cleaning, as well as facilitating machine disassembly and part removal;
- robust and stable components;
a) reduced noise emission generated by the drive belt;
b) practical and easy to move.
1.2.2 - MANUFACTURING FEATURES (Materials used)
The vegetable cutter has been manufactured using materials with high resistance to mechanical worn and to corrosive
agents present in the product.
More specifically:
- The hopper and the base are made of anodised aluminium to ensure the contact with food products (hygiene) and to
ensure resistance to acids, salts and rust.
- The body, the lid, the pusher handle and the discs support are made of steel AISI 304 or 430.
- The pestle, the pusher, the bowl and the control panel are made of high resistant plastic, appropriate to enter into
contact with food products.
- The cutting discs:
a) The Disc set DF, DQ and PS have the main structure made of aluminium and the knives made of AISI 420.
b) The Disc set DT have the main structure made of plastic and the knives made of AISI 420.
1.3 - SAFETY DEVICES
1.3.1 - GENERAL SAFETY DEVICES
The mechanical, electrical and hygienic safety devices installed on the vegetable cutter described in this manual complies with:
UL 763 and NSF Standards
** The vegetable cutter is fitted with electrical and mechanical safety devices for machine operation as well as cleaning
and maintenance operations.
However, there are RESIDUAL RISKS which cannot be eliminated completely. These risks are listed in this manual under WARNINGS.
These risks are cutting dangers due to the machine handling during the disc substitution and/or cleaning.
1.3.2 - ELECTRICAL SAFETY DEVICES
The vegetable cutter is fitted with microswithes:
A On the pusher lever, to stop the machine if the handle is lifted over the mouth of the lid and to enable to turn on the
machine automatically when there is a dangerous situation
B On the hopper, to stop the machine if the lid is removed (
chine voluntarily (
