5.2 LOADING AND SLICING OF FOODSTUFFS
WARNING: Products to be cut must be loaded on the
food tray only when the dial knob is set to the “0”
position. Pay attention to the blade and the sharp
edges.
The procedure is as follows:
• once the product has been loaded onto the food
tray and placed against the plate, stop it with the
arm provided with gripping points;
• adjust the dial knob so as to obtain the desired
cutting thickness;
• to avoid accidents, the operator has to face the
machine and adopt a correct position: put the ring
hand on the meat pusher, and then the left one be-
side the defl ector
(do not touch the blade) ;the body
must be perpendicular to the working surface (see
FIG. 3a).
WARNING: Pay maximum attention: no
part of your body should contact the blade (see
FIG. 3b);
• push the switch-on button “I”;
• smoothly push the carriage (food tray + meat
stem) towards the blade without exert-
ing pressure on foodstuffs with the meat pusher
since they have their own force of gravity which
exerts pressure on the thickness gauge. The
blade will easily cut foodstuffs and slicers will be
guided by the defl ector onto the collecting plate
(see FIG. 4);
• do not operate the slicer without foodstuffs;
• once foodstuffs have been cut, set the dial knob
in the “0” position and switch off the machine by
setting the switch to the “0” position;
• resharpen the blade as soon as slices show
a rough or frayed surface and the cutting be-
comes diffi cult (see 5.3).
