USING THE SLICER

OPERATIONAL CHECKS

When the slicer is used for the first time, proceed as follows:

Check the slicer is correctly installed refer to chapter 2;
Check that the hopper is securely fastened utilizing the lock knob (ref.1 Fig.n.27);
By turning the handwheel (ref.2 Fig. 28) clockwise (ref .a Fig. n.28), check the hopper travels freely and there are no obstacles on the counter ((ref. b Fig. n. 28);
By turning the hand grip (ref. 3 Fig. n. 29) clockwise (Fig. n.29) check the product pusher can be raised and lowered easily and movement is not impeded in any way;
Check the sharpener is securely fastened to the machine and can be easily removed and free of obstacles (Fig. n. 30 ref. d).

LOADING AND SLICING THE FOOD PRODUCT

CAUTION!: be careful not to touch blade and metal spikes.
Before loading the food product to slice make sure the carriage is in position start of travel if not proceed as follows :

Pull the carriage, release knob to-wards you (Fig. n.31 detail. a); slide the carriage outwards
(Fig. n.31 detail. b);

To load the product proceed as follows :

Release the food pusher utilizing the hand grip(Fig. n.32 detail .1) and raise (Fig. n.32 detail c) food pusher;
Place the food to slice on the hopper and block in place with spiked food pusher (Fig. n.33);
Using the thickness gauge knob (Fig. n. 32 detail.2) select required slice thickness;
Posit n yourself correctly to prevent accidents; with your right hand grip the handgrip on the handwheel and then position your hand near the slice guard to receive the cut slices (do not touch the blade). Always re-main in an upright position in respect to the (Fig. n. 33) counter.
CAUTION!: Do not stand in a position which causes parts of your body to come in contact with the blade (e.g. Fig. n.34).
Turn the handwheel clockwise (Fig.n. 33 detail d) so that the carriage (hopper + food pusher + stem) slides towards the blade. The food product comes into contact with the blade, the blade cuts the slice, the slice is then fed through the slice guard and falls onto the glass slice receiving plate (Fig. n.35);
After slicing, do not leave the food lying on the product. Store the food that has just been sliced in a place suitable for its preservation;
If the sliced product has a threaded or rough appearance, sharpen the blade to prevent creating excessive pressure on the blade (chapter 5.3).

SHARPENING THE BLADE

CAUTION!: Before proceeding with blade sharpening, evaluate RESIDUAL RISKS (chapter 4.2.1) concerning hazard of injury if the below instructions are not respected.
The slicer blade should be sharpened periodically the moment slicing precision and per-formance diminishes. To sharpen slicer blade follow and respect the below instructions :

With a damp cloth thoroughly clean the blade, use a neutral detergent to remove any grease build-up on the blade (refer to chap. 6.2.2);
Lift (Fig. n.36 detail a) the sharpener cap (Fig. n.36 detail 1) and rotate 180° (Fig. n.36 detail b);
Release the cap (Fig.n.37 detail c) so
Check that the blade is between the two grinders;
By turning the handwheel clockwise rotate the blade (Fig. n.33);
Press the sharpening button (Fig.n.38 that it fits onto the locator pins (Fig. n.37 detail d);detail 2), leave the blade to rotate between the grinders for approximately 30/40 seconds until the blade edge is slightly burred;
Press the pushbuttons (Fig. n.39 details 2 and 3) simultaneously for 3/4 sec and release.
After sharpening it is recommended to clean grinders and blade (chapter 6.2.3);
Once sharpening is completed, re-place the sharpening device in its original position inverting the above procedure .

N.B.: dressing should not exceed more than 3/4 sec. to prevent damaging the blade edge.
