PREPARATION AND OPERATION
On receiving the box containing the slicer, make sure that it is intact and has not been damaged during
transit.
Should the slicer prove damaged, duly submit a report to the forwarding agent, no later than three days after
the date indicated on the documents, listing any damage done to the machine.
3.1 Opening the packaging
1 - Cut and remove the plastic straps;
2 - Remove the metal staples;
3 - Lift the box off vertically, locate the user guide, maintenance manual and the four feet;
4 - Using a 13mm spanner, unscrew the bolts securing the machine to the pallet;
5 - Remove the polyethylene bag and screw on the four feet;
6 - Lift the machine: two people are required to handle the machine, using the feet as handholds;
7 - Check the contents of the packaging, making sure they correspond to the specifications on the
documents.
Warning: The packaging can be disposed of as municipal solid waste: Comply with the law
dispositions in force in the place of installation.
Do not litter: Dispose of the parts making up the packaging appropriately.
3.2 Installation
Place the slicer on a smooth, flat and stable surface.
Any unevenness of the surface on which the machine is rested can be compensated using the adjustable
feet.
In the event the motor ventilation area faces a wall, make sure that a space of at least 200mm is left between
it and the wall. Leave enough room around the slicer so that it can be properly operated, cleaned and
serviced.
It is advisable to leave a space of at least 300mm free around the machine. The slicer works properly in
places with a relative humidity level of less than 80% and near sources of heat of no more than 30°C.
The single-phase slicer is fitted with a standard plug.
Plug the machine into the outlet, making sure that the system features an electrical overload switch. To
improve safety further, insert a 0.5 Amp fuse in the power supply box. The three-phase slicer is fitted with a
standard 16 Amp plug. Plug the machine into the suitable outlet, making sure it features an overload switch
as above.
The blade should rotate anticlockwise seen from the blade guard side.
Should the direction of rotation of the three-phase slicers be incorrect, invert two of the three wires in the plug.
Unless otherwise indicated, the three-phase slicer is always connected at 400 Volts.
Before connecting the slicer with the local electricity grid make sure that electrical indications
of identification plate and local electricity are the same.
3.4 Operation
Use the slicer as it was designed to be used. Never push the product towards the blade by hand. The product
carriage is tilted so as to enable the product to slide towards the blade under its own weight.
Keep hands well away from the blade and use the relevant handle to move the product
carriage safely back and forth.
3.5 Operation in automatic mode
In the Automatic Gravity models with Gear Drive, the product carriage can be operated in automatic mode.
Said mode can be enabled or disabled by rotating lever "Z" slightly, as indicated in fig.5.
This operation must always be performed with the machine switched off.
5.
CONTROLS AND SAFETY DEVICES
4.1 Controls
The Gear Drive Gravity slicers are switched on and off electrically by means of two buttons, I (start) coloured
green and O (stop) coloured red. Both feature a white lamp which indicates when the blade is rotating.
The machine features a safety switch in the blade guard connected with a no voltage relay.
Every time the supply voltage is cut off, the green button I (start) must be pressed to start the machine up
again.
4.2 Mechanical safety devices
- With the exception of the actual cutting section, the blade is totally protected by an irremovable guard
which can’t be removed.
-
The product carriage can only be removed if the slice assembly covers the blade and the graduated knob
is set to "0" (zero).
-
The slice assembly can only be opened (using the graduated knob) if the product carriage is secured in its
normal operating position.
-
The blade can only be removed using the blade-removal tool supplied.
-
None of the safety devices can be removed; dismantling or tampering with them would make the machine
unsafe, and result in the manufacturer no longer being responsible for any accidents.
4.3 Testing
- Make sure all the slicer components are assembled properly.
- Check the handwheel securing the blade guard is locked in place.
- Press the green start button and the red stop button to check the machine can be switched on and off.
- Check the sliding of the product carriage and product press.
- Check th e sharpening device works properly.
- Check the opening of the slice assembly.
- Make sure the product carriage can only be disassembled with the graduated knob set to zero, and that
said knob remains locked in place after disassembly.
If there are any hints for defects, stop the machine immediately, sign it with “DEFECT” and call
your service partner.
USING THE SLICER
5.1 Operating procedure
(Fig.1)
1) Set the graduated knob "A" to "0" (zero).
2) Move the product carriage "B" as far away from blade "K" as possible.
3) Lift the product press "C" using the relevant handle.
Set the product down on the product carriage, lower the product press onto or behind the product.
4) Select the desired thickness by means of knob "A".
5) Press the green button "I" (start).
6) Push the product carriage to slice the product by means of handle "D".
7) Once you have finished using the machine, switch it off by pressing the red button (stop) and set the
graduated knob to "0".
5.2 Option Counting Device
By means of the counting device (optional – no possibility for later upgrade) it is possible to enter the number
of cutting processes.
1) Press key “S”. The first digit in the display is blinking.
Enter the requested number at the first digit with the double arrow key.
2) Press key “S” again. The second digit in the display is blinking.
Enter the requested number at the second digit with the double arrow key.
3) Press key “S” again. The third digit in the display is blinking.
Enter the requested number at the third digit with the double arrow key.
4) During display is still blinking, press key “S” again and then the key in the middle to save the entry.
5) If the machine will be started in the automatic modus the counting device counts down.
6) If the entered number of cutting processes is reached, the machine stops automatically.
If the machine would be stopped during the counting process by hand, e.g. by replacing the goods, the rest of
the number of cutting processes remains in the cutting device.
If the machine gets restarted, the automatic cutting and counting process will be continued.
7.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE OF THE SLICER
For the sake of hygiene, the slicer must be kept clean.
The machine must be disassembled and cleaned at the end of each working day, and whenever the type of
product being sliced is changed (e.g. change from raw meats to cooked meats) following the sequence
illustrated in fig. 2.
6.1 Cleaning
(Fig. 2) (Fig. 2/A)
1) Isolate the machine from the power supply by unplugging it, or switching off the automatic switch located
near the outlet.
Never settle for simply pressing the slicer's red "stop" button.
2) Set the graduated knob “A” to “0” (Fig. 2/A).
3) Position handwheel "E" in line with stop "F" and unscrew it completely. The locking mechanism engages
in the stop and locks the carriage in place. Slide the product carriage unit "B" vertically from its guide.
The slice assembly remains locked in the "0" position.
4) Unscrew the blade guard fastening handwheel "G" completely, hold the blade guard "H" and remove it
from the machine completely.
5) Position the blade-removal tool "J" (accessory – no standard fitting) in place and fasten it onto the
threaded holes of the blade by means of the two handwheels "W". Use a screwdriver to unscrew the blade
screws, after which use the two handwheels to remove the assembly.
6) Clean the blade with warm water and liquid detergent, rinse in cold water, dry and use alcohol to disinfect.
The base and other parts of the machine must always be washed with lukewarm water and liquid
detergent, and rubbed with a non-abrasive cloth; rinse in cold water, dry and use alcohol to disinfect.
Under no circumstances use sodium -hypochlorite - based solutions or abrasive detergents as
they would damage the machine's anodized surfaces.
7) Never put the carriage for cleaning into dishwasher!
8) Wait with fitting until all parts are dried. Otherwise there’s risk for rust formation
9) The machine is fitted back together by following the disassembly procedure in reverse order.
The carriage and all other removable parts must not be cleaned in a dishwasher.
The blade guard represents a very important safety device and must only be removed when
the blade is fastened in its regular position by means of the screws.
6.2 Lubricating
(Fig. 3)
In order to keep the product press and carriage sliding movement fluid, the slicer must be lubricated regularly
in the points highlighted in fig. 3; use Vaseline oil only (e. g. MARCOL 82 ESSO or WHITE OIL 105
BERGOIL), apply sparingly but frequently.
8.
SHARPENING OPERATIONS
If the slicer should work properly, the blade must be kept sharp.
Fig. 4 illustrates the correct sharpening sequence.
Only sharpen the blade when it is clean. Sharpening a dirty blade results in poor sharpening and soils the
sharpening device and wheels. After sharpening, use the brush supplied to remove any traces of dirt from the
wheels. In addition, every single grain of sand must be removed from the blade and machine using a cloth
dampened with alcohol.
Before performing this operation, make sure the graduated knob is set to "0" and that the machine is not
plugged in.
Sharpening is just allowed for standard knives. Long-toothed knives for cutting bread have to
be sharpened by specialised companies.
Sharpening just of fully cleaned and fat-free knives!
Otherwise the knife or the sharpening device could be damaged irreversibly.
7.1 Sharpening the blade
(Fig. 4)
1) Switch off the machine.
2) Remove the grease from the blade both inside and out using a cloth dampened with alcohol.
3) Turn the slice thickness adjusting knob to the left in anticlockwise direction up to the stop.
4) Mount the sharpening device at the machine.
It is just allowed to use the sharpening device, which was sent with the machine, or
sharpening devices of same type.
For mounting the sharpening device pull the carriage with carriage arm “B” in the maximum position to the
user and hinge up the remaining holder “C”. Unscrew completely the black turning knob of the sharpening
device supplied with each machine with standard knife. Then lead the end of the thread visible now
through the hole of the thickness-plate from the side of the carriage, while pulling the last-slice-device a bit
upwards to the right. Then screw on the sharpening device by means of the turning knob in such a way
that the neck of the sharpening device rests upon the upper edge of the thickness plate.
5) Switch on the motor and advance the sharpening wheel carefully with not too much expenditure of force to
the rotating blade by turning slightly to the right the slice thickness adjusting knob. The contact must be
affected in such a way that the sharpening wheel is also turning. Normally a few seconds are sufficient to
sharpen the blade in this manner.
6) Having finished sharpening, switch off the motor, take off the sharpening device and adjust the slice
thickness to zero again.
7) Clear blade and shaft of the last-slice-device thoroughly of adhering sharpening shavings with a cloth.
The sharpening operation must be performed by skilled personnel.
Never attempt to clean the blade whilst it is moving.
The sharpening device can no longer sharpen the blade once its diameter is worn down by
6mm.
9.
TRAINING
During the machine's installation, it is absolutely essential that an operator of age be trained in the regular
use-cleaning-care -sharpening of the blade, especially regarding the hazards which are likely to be
encountered if the machine is used incorrectly. The training will be given by reading the operating manual
very carefully.
10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The machine must be cleaned by fully trained personnel only.
Unplug the machine. Never stop the machine using the red (stop) button only.
Two people are required to handle the machine, using the 4 feet as handholds.
The blade must be replaced when the distance between the blade guard and the actual blade is no more than
6mm.
Only remove the blade using the proper blade-removal tool.
Be careful with the blade edge as it is very sharp.
The power supply cable must be replaced by skilled personnel only.
The cleaning of the slicer with harmful products liable to affect the health of either operators
or customers is strictly prohibited.
Use products with a degree of acidity (pH 7-8).
