4.3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The slicing machine has been designed and made to
offer maximum safety when in use, during cleaning
and ordinary maintenance; maximum hygiene from the
use of inoxidisable materials or adequately protected
against oxidisation together with an attentive design of
all the parts that come into contact with food;
maximum cutting precision and capacity together with
sturdiness and reliability of the structure.
The machine is essentially made up of a base that holds
a circular blade that is vertically mounted and a sliding
carriage on bars, parallel to the cutting edge of the
blade, which in turn holds a food plate.
The food plate is made up of a base plate and an
overplate which slides at right angles to the edge of the
blade for slicing the food; the overplate also has an
appropriate selfstopping device, which can be regulated
in height, to keep the product in its proper place during
cutting operations (food press).
Carriage movement and blade rotation are completely
manual; by activating rotation of the flywheel with the
special handle the carriage is put into motion and at the
same time with a chain transmission the blade is
turned.
4.3.1 Risks during use
DO NOT use the machine if you are not in perfect
psycho-physical condition and DO NOT let anyone
come near during use; concentrate when loading
and cutting the product; pay attention!
Only cut products which are allowed; DO NOT try
cutting products which are forbidden.
DURING CLEANING, LUBRICATION AND
BLADE SHARPENING ALWAYS USE
PROTECTIVE GLOVES WHICH ARE
RESISTANT TO CUTS AND TEARS.
The product is cut during the forward movement of the
carriage, parallel to the blade; the thickness of the slice
is regulated by a mechanical device which is
automatically started every time the carriage comes
back, making the sliding overplate transversally
towards the blade, with a value which is predetermined by the graduated handwheel.
All the components of the machine are made of a light
aluminium alloy, in stainless steel and plastic for food
products as according to the sanitary regulations in
force.
The machine has a sharpener which is extremely easy
and safe to use.
The food plate, sharpener and blade cover can be
removed for cleaning.

5. INSTALLATION
5.1 INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE
If a support column is not used, install the machine on a
surface which is level, dry and suitable for the weight of
the machine plus the food to be sliced; refer to paragraph
3.1.
Check that there is nothing that can get in the way of the
flywheel, carriage movement and food loading.
