Operation
The slicer must be placed horizontally on a stable, robust and non-slip base adequate to support its weight.
The suggested height of the working surface is about 800mm. Check out that the product tray motion has no
hindrance and that the product can be easily loaded. It is possible to move the front support feet according to
the depth of the working surface.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of crushing, position the machine so as to leave a clear space between
the moving parts and the permanent structure.
