CHAPTER 1 INFORMATION ON THE MACHINE
1.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
 The slicing machine must only be used by trained personnel who must be
fully aware of the safety standards contained in this manual.
 In the event of staff turnover, ensure that training is provided.
 Although safety devices are installed on the machine at hazardous spots,
do not place hands near the blade or the moving parts.
 Before performing any cleaning or maintenance, unplug the machine from
the mains.
 When performing maintenance or cleaning on the slicing machine (and
when the protection devices are therefore removed), carefully evaluate
the residual risks.
 During maintenance or cleaning, stay focused on the operations in
progress.
 Do not use corrosive or flammable substances to clean the slicing
machine. Use mild disinfectants specific for food equipment.
 For cleaning, follow the instructions given in Chapter 6 “Routine cleaning”
carefully.
 Do not wash the slicing machine with jets of high pressure water or
submerge it in water or other liquids.
 Regularly monitor the condition of the power cable. A cable that is worn or
not intact in any way represents a serious electrical hazard.
 Do not pull the slicing machine cable or the slicing machine itself in any
way in order to unplug it!
 Do not use the slicing machine when, after repeated sharpening, the
external diameter of the blade has been reduced by 10 mm.
 If you believe or note that the slicing machine is malfunctioning, do not
use it, do not attempt to repair it directly and contact the “Service
Centre”.
