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 and 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 person who is cutting has
to face the machine and stand correctly: put the
ring hand on the meat pusher, and then the left
one beside the defl ector (do not touch the blade);
the body must be perpendicular to the working
surface (see FIG. n°7a).
WARNING: Pay the maxi-
mum attention: no members of your body should
enter in contact with the blade
(see FIG. n°7b);
• push the switch-on button “I”;
• smoothly push the carriage (food tray + meat
stem) towards the blade without exerting
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.
n°8);
• 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 becomes
diffi cult (see 5.3).
