SHARPENING THE BLADE
1. disinsert the plug from the outlet and
carefully clean the blade with denatured
alcohol so it is degreased;
2. lift (a) the sharpener (1) and turn it 180°
(b Fig. n°43);
WARNING: Before starting to sharpen the blade, pay attention to RESIDUAL RISKS
(chapter 4.2.2) concerning the dangers of cutting without having followed the in-
structions listed below.
To sharpen the blade, which needs to be done periodically as soon a decrease in cutting is
noticed, the following directions must be adhered to:
3. let it go in a way that the sharpener (c)
fits on the locator pins (d Fig. n°43);
4. check also that the blade stays between
the two grinders;
5. insert the pin and start the machine, by
pressing the “ON” push-button;
6. press the push-button (2 Fig.n°44), let
the blade rotate in contact with the grin-
der for about 30/40 sec. so that a slight
burr forms on the blade edge;
7. press the 2 push-buttons (1 and 2) con-
temporaneously for 3/4 sec. and release
them in the same instant (Fig. n°45);
8. after
having
completed the sharpening it
is advisable to clean the grinders and the
blade (
chapter 6.2.3
);
9. once the operation is finished, replace
the sharpening device in its original
position, doing the procedure in reverse.

tion for more than 1-2 sec. to avoid the
damaging bending of the blade edge.

POSITIONING
Position the pallet, with the slicer, on a flat
surface and take off (a) the sharpener from
the slicer (Fig. n°12).
At this point turn the machine on its side (Fig.
n°13) and unscrew, with the proper wrench
provided, the 4 nuts which fasten the slicer.
Remove the 4 washers and unscrew the 4
fastening tie rods on the wooden pallet. Take
off the pallet and fasten the 4 feet provided.
Finally, put the sharpener in its place.
Position the slicer in the predestined place.
The dimensions indicated in Tab. 1
(according to the model) must be kept in mind
for the plane where the slicer will be installed,
therefore it must be wide enough, well-
levelled, dry, smooth, robust, stable about 80
cm high off the ground and at least 20 cm
from walls, objects, shelves, etc. (Fig. n°14)
in respect to the space necessary for its use
and safeguarding.
Furthermore the machine must be placed in
an environment with a maximum humidity of
75%, not salty and with a temperature betwe-
en +5°C and +35°C; in any case in environ-
ments which do not lead to deviations of the
above.
Make sure the graduated handgrip is in po-
siion “0”.
Check the alignment of the blade-plane thi-
ckness gauge by running a finger (Fig. n°16)
from the blade towards the thickness gauge
plane (never in the opposite direction). Un-
screw and screw the foot (1) until the correct
alignment is found (Fig. n°17), then screw the
rubber part (2) to fix everything (Fig. n°17).
