1 Lubricating
(Fig. 3)
In order to keep the product press and carriage sliding
movements fluid, the slicer must be lubricated regularly
in the points highlighted in fig. 3; use Vaseline oil only
(MARCOL 82 ESSO or WHITE OIL 105 BERGOIL),
apply sparingly but frequently.
6 SHARPENING OPERATIONS
If the slicer is to work properly, the blade must be kept
sharp. It is better to sharpen it a little daily than a lot
once a week.
Fig. 4 illustrates the correct sharpening sequence. Only
sharpen the blade when it is clean.
Sharpening a dirty blade results in poor sharpening and
soils the sharpening device and wheels.
After sharpening, use the brush supplied to remove any
traces of dirt from the wheels. In addition, every single
grain of sand must be removed from the blade and
machine using a cloth dampened with alcohol.
Before performing this operation, make sure the
graduated knob is set to "0" and that the machine is not
plugged in.
6.1 Sharpening the blade
(Fig. 4)
1)Remove the grease from the blade both inside and
out using a cloth dampened with alcohol.
2)Loosen knob "A" by half a turn, lift and rotate the
sharpening device by 180°. Lower it until it is in the
regular sharpening position.
3)Tighten knob "A" by half a turn, start up the machine
and pull the upper grinding wheel knob by applying a
slight pressure until the grinding wheel approaches the
blade: the sharpening thus commences.
4)Once sharpening is complete, pull the deburring
wheel knob for approx. 2 seconds (2nd knob).
5)Once sharpening is complete, loosen knob "A" by half
a turn, lift and rotate the sharpening device by 180°,
and lower it into its idle position.
Tighten knob "A" completely.
WARNING: The sharpening operation must be
performed by skilled personnel.
Never attempt to clean the blade whilst it is moving.
The sharpening device can no longer sharpen the blade
once its diameter is worn down by 10mm.
7 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
-The machine must be cleaned by fully trained
personnel only.
-Unplug the machine. Never stop the machine using the
red (stop) button only.
-Two people are required to handle the machine, using
the 4 feet as handholds.
-The blade must be replaced when the distance
between the blade guard and the actual blade is no
more than 6mm.
-Only remove the blade using the proper blade-removal
tool.
-Be careful with the blade edge as it is very sharp.
-The power supply cable must be replaced by skilled
personnel only.
-The cleaning of the slicer with harmful products liable
to affect the health of either operators or customers is
strictly prohibited.
Use products with a degree of acidity (pH 7-8).
8 TRAINING
During the machine's installation, it is absolutely
essential that an operator of age be trained in the
regular use-cleaning-care-sharpening of the blade,
especially regarding the hazards which are likely to be
encountered if the machine is used incorrectly. The
training will be given by the suitably authorized installer
who is familiar with the European community machine
standards.
