SAFETY EQUIPMENT

MECHANICAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT

As for mechanical safety equipment, the machine described in this manual complies with the UL and CSA standard. Safety requirements are ensured with the lid which can only be removed if the tank-locking arm is rotated anti- clockwise on the side of the lid itself.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT

As for electrical safety equipment, the machine described in this manual complies with the UL and CSA standards. The machine is provided with:

Coded micro-switch which stops the machine if the lid is removed, and prevents the machine from being restarted until the lid is correctly closed.
Relay in the command circuit which requires a voluntary restart of the machine after a power blackout.

Even if professional cutters are equipped with electrical and mechanical safety devices (during normal use and during cleaning and maintenance operations), there are residual risks which cannot be completely eliminated; these are referred to in this manual with the wording CAUTION. These risks may arise when handling the blades while loading the machine or during cleaning or sharpening operations of the blades.

Furthermore, the cutter must be placed in an environment with a max. non-saline humidity of 75% and a temperature between +5°C and +35°C; and, in any case, in an environment which does not lead to any machine malfunctions.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The machine has a power cable with a cross section of 3×1.5 mm², a length of 2.5 m and a NEMA plug.
Connect the machine to a 120 or 230 Volt 60 Hz power supply. Check that the earth system functions perfectly and make sure the connection is provided with a thermo-magnetic 0.03A circuit breaker. Also check that the information on the machine’s nameplate matches the specifications given in the delivery and shipping documents, and that both the master switch and cable are easily accessible while the machine is in use.

PRELIMINARY CHECK

Press the ON button and the OFF button.
Verify that the machine stops if the tank-locking arm is rotated anti-clockwise.
Verify that the revolution speed increases and decreases by rotating the SPEED knob clockwise and anticlockwise.

Press the PULSE command for the pulse functioning of the machine.

LOADING

CAUTION! Food must only be loaded into the tank when the motor is not running and with the speed knob at minimum.

Proceed as follows:

Rotate the arm in a clockwise direction until the lid can be removed.
CAUTION!! Put the product inside the tank, paying attention not to touch the blades with your hands; if very large pieces of food are used, dice them into small pieces manually before putting them inside the tank.
CAUTION!! Do not fill the tank more than 1/2 full.
Avoid direct contact with the machine during use.
Put the lid back and rotate the arm to the closing position.
Do not use the cutter at low speed for prolonged periods of time.
Add any additional food during the process by removing the cover on the lid.
At the end of the process, set the speed knob to minimum and then stop the machine.
The machine is provided with a device which switches it off after 30 seconds of use at minimum speed. The device is used to preserve the machine and stop the motor from overheating. If you use the machine at low speed, allow the machine to rest for at least 30 seconds.
