Safety precautions

In the interests of your own safety and for the care of your slicer, take note of the following points:

As an employer

Instruct your personnel in the use of the slicer and draw their attention to the safety precautions, repeat this periodically and keep this manual near your slicer for reference.

Who may operate the slicer

Only properly trained and instructed personnel may operate the slicer.

Only DeKo - or authorised service engineers may rectify any faults.

No access for unauthorised persons!

Ensure that unauthorised persons and those who have not received any instruction do not operate or clean the slicer.

Authority to remove components

You are only authorised to remove the removable parts from the slicer, see the chapter "cleaning the slicer " on page 13.

You are not authorised to remove the remaining components and you are never authorised to distort or bend components.

Slicing products

Only use the slicer with those products for which it is designed, such as meat, cooked meats and cheese. Do not use with frozen products, products on the bone or non-food products.

Slicing

Always follow the slicing instructions carefully, see the chapter on "Slicing", page 11.

The knife

Always remember that the knife is very sharp and therefore dangerous, even when the knife is stationary. Do not operate the slicer thoughtlessly and never

touch the cutting edge of the knife with your hand or fingers.

Avoid the area of the knife, especially with your hands.

Avoid touching the knife, even when the slicer is switched off, other than to clean it safely.

Sharpening the knife

Particular care should be exercised when sharpening the knife. First read the instructions in the section entitled "Sharpening the knife" on page 16 onwards and follow these instructions carefully.

Safety precautions

continued

Thickness dial

Get into the habit of working as follows:

Only turn the thickness dial away from its safe setting when you are ready to begin slicing. In other words, after you have placed the goods to be sliced on the meat tray.

The same applies if you wish to reposition the product on the meat tray or remove it.

safe

Turn thickness dial right back

to safe - clockwise

After slicing always reset the thickness dial right back to safe first and

switch the slicer off. Dependent on the slicer setting, safe position can be

either zero or nine so be sure the dial is turned all the way back.

Exercise particular caution when removing product scraps from the meat tray.

Only do this once the thickness dial has been reset to zero and the slicer has been switched off.

Connection to mains

Check whether the mains voltage matches that given on the slicer.

A qualified electrician may only connect 400-Volt three-phase current slicers.

Connection to the incorrect mains voltage can seriously damage the slicer.

What to do in the event of a malfunction

Switch the slicer off immediately if you hear and/or notice anything unusual. Check in the "machine malfunction” section on page 20 to see if you can rectify the fault yourself. If not, contact your local service agent (see page 23).

RSI (Repetitive Strain Injuries)

Continuous use of a slicer may cause Repetitive Strain Injuries or related injuries.

Some studies suggest that long periods of repetitive motion coupled with an improper work environment and incorrect work habits may be linked to certain types of physical discomfort or injury. If you feel any aching, numbing, or tingling in your neck, shoulders, arms, wrists, hands, or fingers, consult a qualified health professional.

These suggestions can help to reduce your risk of RSI:

- take frequent breaks from use;

- be sure to change posture frequently;

- stand on an anti-fatigue mat or use a standing support to reduce fatigue;

- keep your hands, forearm and wrists straight and curl your fingers under slightly;

- set up your workspace as described at page 9.

Safety precautions

continued

Cleaning the slicer

Only allow staff who have received appropriate instruction to clean the slicer.

Proceed as follows:

- reset the thickness dial to safe,

- switch the slicer off,

- remove the mains plug from the wall socket,

- do not use any aggressive and/or abrasive cleaning agents- do not use any steam or high-pressure cleaners,

- clean the slicer thoroughly especially pointed, sharp and round components.

Careless cleaning can be dangerous for yourself and may invalidate the terms of the guarantee.

Environment

Keep your work place clean and dry, then you will always have a safe environment

Workplace

Ensure that the slicer is installed in stable fashion on a solid work surface. Check yourself that there is no danger of the slicer sliding or falling.

Ensure that there is sufficient space around the slicer and keep the workplace clean and orderly. Do not use the slicer as a storage area. Place nothing on it which does not belong there.

Transport

Remember that the slicer is very heavy (56 kg approx.) The slicer must always be moved by at least three people. Always seek the assistance of

colleagues when moving the machine.

Check on the location of the slicer's centre of gravity so that it cannot tip over (see drawing below). Also secure temporarily or remove parts that may become damaged or move whilst machine is being transferred.

centre of gravity

Slicing

Note: before switching on and using this slicer ensure that:

- the index is set to safe,

- the sharpener is in the down position,

- the centre plate is in position.

Connect the slicer to the electrical supply.

Move the meat table to the front of the slicer.

Slide the pusher up the table and rotate it into its

“park” position underneath the meat table.

Load the product to be sliced on of the meat table.

Rotate the pusher back into position and lower down the pusher behind the product to act as a pusher.

Or handle

Lower the pusher down on top of the product to act as a meat clamp.

Open the gauge plate by turning the index knob to the thickness required.

Switch on the slicer by pressing the green start button on the front of the machine, the knife will rotate and a white lamp will illuminate to show that the slicer is running

Hold the handle on the pusher or under the meat table and exert pressure towards the blade. Move the product past the blade with uniform motion.

Note: always use the handle under the meat table or on the pusher to push and pull the meat table through its slicing stroke.

handle

Check the first slice for correct thickness, re-adjust the slice thickness knob if required.Continue slicing in the above manner until the required number of slices has been produced.

The knife can be stopped at anytime by pressing the red stop button situated at the front of the slicer.

After slicing

- switch the slicer off by pressing the red button,

- reset the thickness dial to safe,

- remove the product from the meat tray.

Slicing

continued

Slicing butt

For safety reasons the meat clamp cannot be placed flush against the blade when a product to be sliced is still clamped beneath it. You will notice that the meat clamp stops and cannot be pushed any further in the direction of the blade. To enable you to slice the remaining butt end of 60 mm or smaller you must place the meat clamp behind the butt end on the meat tray so that the meat clamp can act as a butt end slicer.

Never hold the butt end with your fingers or grab it while slicing. The butt end may only be repositioned or removed if the thickness dial is set to safe and the slicer is switched off.

Procedure for slicing butt ends

- reset the thickness dial to safe,

- switch the slicer off,

- push the meat clamp completely to the right and allow it to come to rest below,

- place the butt end with the flat edge against the butt end slicer and move the clamp with the butt end slicer to the left until the product to be sliced is flush against the gauge plate,

- set the thickness dial and start the machine up,

- slice with a steady movement.

In this way butt ends can be sliced almost completely.

Sharpening the knife

Important: clean the knife before sharpening it. See “Cleaning instructions”, page 14.

Caution: increased risk of injury.

Sharpening

- Turn the thickness knob to zero,

- Lift the sharpening unit upwards using the handle

(arrow 1) ,

Sharpening the knife

continued

The sharpening operation causes a burr on the knife. This burr has to be removed for optimal sharpness. The burr is removed with the deburring stone during the sharpening operation. However you must allow the deburring stone to deburr the knife after sharpening, so the burr will be removed.

will be removed by

derburring stone

Replacing the knife

Replace the knife after the sharpening operation does not sharpen the knife any longer. The knife has then reached the minimum size permitted by safety regulations. You can see this by the spacing between the knife guard and the knife which may not exceed 6 mm (see drawing below).

In this case contact your local service agent and have the knife replaced by a service technician.

Warning: under no circumstances should you replace the knife yourself.

There is a high risk of injury
