RESIDUAL RISKS
The safety ring around the blade is made in conformity to European standards EN 1974:1998 +A1 but, in order to allow the sharpening operations, the protection in the sharpening area may not entirely eliminate the risk of cut-ting.

WARNING
Risk of injury ! from sharp blade! During the blade cleaning and sharpening operations, pay extra attention to keep your hands as far as possible from the unprotected area. Use of protective gloves is recommended.

INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE

! from sharp blade! During the blade cleaning and sharpening operations, pay extra attention to keep your hands as far as possible from the unprotected area. Use of protective gloves is recommended.

INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE

The machine must be installed in the immediate vicinity of an EEC standard outlet connected to an electrical supply system which is in conformity with the prevailing regulations for:

• magneto-thermic protection;
• automatic differential switch;
• earthing system.
• Before carrying out electrical hook up verify that the characteristics of the electrical power supply is in accordance with those indicated on the machine information plate.
  WARNING
  For machines ! with 3-phase motor, check the blade orientation. Push the start button (1) to switch on the machine: looking at the blade from the operator side, the blade has to rotate downwardly (Fig. B).
  OPERATION

WARNING
Risk of injury from sharp blade! Check that ! the thickness adjustment knob (3)is in the safety position (on the 0 position) (Fig. A).

• Be sure that the machine is switched off, if not push the stop button (2);
• pull the meat table (8) all the way back (towards the opera-tor) in the loading position;
• lift the product holder (10) into the standby position;
• Place the product to be sliced on the sliding meat table:
• SLL 315-350-370, SLH 315-350-370: move the sliding meat table away from the thickness gauge plate. Set the product to be sliced on the plate near the table edge on the operator side;
• SLG 315-350-370: set the product to be sliced on the plate against the wall of the meat table, near the edge of the table on the operator side; lock using the product press holder, applying pressure; in the gravity version, the product will press against the plate from the force of its own weight;
• adjust the slice thickness with the special knob (3). Activate the blade (18) by pressing the start button (1). Grip the product holder handle (13) and start an alternative cutting motion;
• On gravity models, when the weight or size of the goods do not allow a proper cutting for reasons of gravity, use the product holder handgrip;
• At the end of the cutting operations return the thickness adjustment knob to the safety position and pull the meat table back. Stop the blade motion by pressing the stop button (2); – move the sliding meat table away from the gauge plate and remove the product.

CLEANING

Before using, clean the ma-chine at least once a day – or more often if necessary – and always after a long period of inactivity.  shock! Before cleaning, disconnect the plug from the electrical mains socket.

WARNING
Risk of injury ! from sharp blade! Check that the thickness adjustment knob (3) is in the safety position (on the 0 position) (Fig. A).
Products for cleaning use only water and biodegradable mild detergent with PH 7-8, using a soft, spongy cloth and a semi-rigid nylon brush for the sharp areas of the plate and the product holder.

• Do not clean the machine with jets of water or steam or similar methods.
  DO NOT DISHWASH

• Cleaning the sliding meat tables models SLL 315-350-370, SLH 315-350-370

•  SLL 315-350-370: pull the sliding meat table to the end; a metallic click notifies the operator that the meat table is locked. Lift the meat table all the way up (Fig. E-1). Clean the sliding meat table and repeat operations in the reverse order to reposition the sliding meat table.

• SLH 315-350-370: loosen, rotating the product presser clamp on the meat table in the anticlockwise direction. Pull the sliding meat table to the end; a metallic click notifies the operator that the meat table is locked. Move the sliding meat table away from the thickness gauge plate and lift the product presser (Fig. F-1).

• Clean the sliding meat table and lower the product press holder. Lift the sliding meat plate and clean the meat table (Fig. F-2). Release the meat table, rotating the product presser clamp in the clockwise direction.

Removing the meat table (SLG 315 – 350 – 370)

• With the regulating knob for slice thickness (3) in the safety position (Fig. A, Fig. D-1), pull back the plate support (6) all the way until the travel limit toward the operator (Fig. D-2);

• Fully rotate the locking knob in the anticlockwise direction (Fig. D-3) keeping the support at the travel limit, until the safety locking device intervenes on the gauge plate;

• Remove the meat table from the top, sliding it off from the support.
  WARNING
  Make sure ! that the product press holder is lowered on the table before removing the plate sup-port. ! ulating knob for slice thick-ness in the safety position “0”.

Sharpener (12)
Clean the body with a damp cloth. Do not submerge in water.

Cleaning :

The blade: press a damp cloth on the surface of the blade and move it slowly from the center toward the outside on the blade cover side and the oppo-site side. In the same way dry it using a dry cloth. NEVER turn on the machine while cleaning the blade;

• The safety ring: use a soft brush to clean the area be-tween the blade and the safe-ty ring. Be careful NOT to put your hands close to the blade;
• The machine body: use a damp cloth or a sponge. Dry carefully; – the sharpener:

1. Clean the body with a damp cloth and the springs with a semi-rigid brush.
2. (Fig. I). Keep the wheel clean for correct sharpening. Remove dirt and grease with alcohol and a semi-rigid nylon brush.
   dismantled parts individually in lukewarm water and NON-AGGRESSIVE dishwasher detergent, using a bottle brush or cloth. Rinse in hot water and dry. Proceed with assembly operations, following the directions described in reverse order.

REMOVING THE BLADE

WARNING
Use original devices only!

WARNING
Danger of ! being cut! Use only after carefully reading the operating instructions supplied with the device. If a blade removal device has been purchased, it is recommended that you follow the  relevant operating instructions provided with your device to remove the blade.

MAINTENANCE

Blade Sharpening
Frequency and duration of sharpening depend on the use of the equipment.
Before sharpening:

1. make sure that the machine is off;
2. position the thickness adjustment knob in the safety position;
3. Set the regulating knob for slice thickness in the safety position;
4. Pull the meat table all the way back.

For sharpening, follow the instruction:

• Lift the sharpening device guard cover. Pull the unlocking device grip (Fig. M-1) and rotate it in the direction of the blade (Fig. M-2). The sharpen-ing device will lock in the cor-rect position. Press the start button to start up the machine. Slightly rotate the lever, bring-ing the two wheels in contact with the blade for about 10-15 seconds (Fig. M-3). Sharpening and deburring occur simulta-neously. Press the stop but-ton and pull the device grip to move it back to the initial position. Lower the sharpening device guard cover.

WARNING
The sharpening wheel can easily be removed from the sharpening unit, removing it in the direction of the arrow (Fig. I). Keep the wheel clean for correct sharpening. Remove dirt and grease with alcohol and a semi-rigid nylon brush.

Lubrication
After a regular period of use, it may be necessary to lubricate the carriage guides. We recommend executing this operation every 1 month.

• For lubrication, only use acid free oil (we recommend Vase-line oil). Do not use vegetable oil.
• For lubricating, follow the instruction: 1) move the meat table towards the operator; 2) insert the oiler in the special hole and pour a small amount of oil; 3) remove the oiler and slide the carriage 3-4 times.

SERVICE

No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. All the repair and replacement operations (like blade replacement, re- placement of the motor belt, replacement of the subbasaplate electrical system components, repair of structural parts, repair and/or re-placement of sub- baseplate components, or similar) shall be executed exclusively by personnel authorized by the manufacturer. In the event service is needed, you may return your food slicer to the manufacturer or to one of the Authorized Ser-vice Centers. For information about service centers please contact us at:
service@berkelinternational.com.

WARNING
The blade replacement is mandatory if distance between the edge of the blade and the internal edge of the guard exceeds 6 mm.
