Installation and Operation
USING THE MACHINE
CAUTION!
Only authorised personnel may intervene on the machine. Before using the machine, the operator must
ensure that all guards are in place and that the safety devices are present and working efficiently. If this is not
the case, switch the machine off and contact the maintenance supervisor. Make sure that the product to be
tenderized/cut does not have any bones, nerves or others hard parts that can ruin the blades. The size of the
product to be tenderized/cut must have a suitable size for fitting inside the loading mouth. NEVER PUSH THE
PRODUCT WITH YOUR HANDS.
PREPARING THE bLADE CARTRIDGE
The machine can be configured with 2 different meat processing rollers:
1. Tenderizing rollers.
2. Cutting rollers.
- The “tenderizing” system is made up of star-shaped blades (Fig. 6.2.1) that penetrate the meat and curt
the nerves so as to make it more tender.
- The “strip-cutting” system is made up of round blades (Fig. 6.2.2) paired with one another that cut the
meat into strips; strips of different thickness can be obtained by varying the thickness of the spacers.
- To insert the blade roller, turn the blade cartridge knob so that the slot opens (position “1” Fig. 6.2.3 – the
knob will click slightly).
- Insert the roller by gripping it from the ends. Do not touch the blades with your hands.
- Turn the cartridge knob in the opposite direction to lock the roller (position “2” Fig. 6.2.3 – the knob will
click slightly).
- Insert the scraping combs (Ref. 3 Fig. 6.2.4).
- Move the cartridge using the handle (Ref. 4 Fig. 6.2.3).
AUTOMATIC VERSION
• Raise the interlocked blade guard (Ref. 4 Fig. 6.4.1).
• Place the cartridge on the bars of the base (Ref. 1 Fig. 6.4.1).
• Turn the cartridge lever (Ref. 5 Fig. 6.4.1) so that the blade roller pins insert into the drive pins, until they
slot into place.
• Close the interlocked blade guard (Ref. 4 Fig. 6.4.1).
• Press the controls (Ref. 3 Fig. 6.4.1) to switch the machine on or off.
•
Take the product with two hands and insert it into the loading mouth; use the pestle if the product gets
jammed.
CAUTION: handle the blade cartridge always through the appropriate handle (Ref. 2 Fig. 6.4.1) and
protect the hands with cut-resistant gloves.
