TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION AND
PROPOSED CONDITIONS OF USE
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The machine is essentially made of a base supporting a circular blade mounted in tilted
position. This blade is driven by an electrical motor to slice foodstuffs. The machine is
equipped with a carriage holding a product tray and sliding on tracks mounted under the
base top, parallel to the blade.
Slice thickness is adjusted by means of a
gauge plate mounted in front of the blade. This
plate, against which rests the product to be sliced is moved transversally with respect to
the blade by a value corresponding to the desired slice thickness. The product is fed to
the machine (towards the gauge plate) by gravity.
All the machine components are made of polished and anodically oxidized aluminium
alloy, of stainless steel and food grade plastic mater
ial.
The blade is driven by an electrical motor, transmission is by means of a longitudinally
grooved belt.
The machine is started and stopped by a control button provided with auxiliary circuit
preventing accidental restarts after an outage.
Some of the machine models have a user-friendly and safe built-in blade sharpener.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SAFETY DEVICES
The following mechanical safety devices were installed:
A series of aluminium and transparent plastic guards on the product carriage.
The following electrical safety devices were installed:
Start/stop button system requiring a voluntary restart of the machine in the
case of an outage or interruption of the power supply.
Safety micro-switch preventing the motor from starting when the blade guard
is removed (not available on the 403.008 machine).
WARNING: RESIDUAL RISKS
Notwithstanding all the possible cautions taken during the design and the
construction of the machine, residual risks (cutting) still exist during use or during
cleaning or maintenance. Therefore be careful and PAY THE UTMOST ATTENTION
to what you are doing.
DO NOT use the machine if you are
not in perfect psychological and physical
conditions. DO NOT ALLOW anyone near the machine when it is in use. ALWAYS
wear gloves that can resist cuts or tears when cleaning, lubricating or sharpening
the blade.
Slice only the products mentioned as sliceable. NEVER try to slice products that
have been mentioned as non sliceable.
