The cold-meat slicing machine Concept has been designed as a working tool for the commercial sector. Its operation may be carried out only by instructed qualied personnel who are beyond 14 years of age. The Concept is exclusively intended for cuttable foodstuffs such as: sausages, meat rolls, sh, ham and cheese. The following must not be cut: - Non-food articles - Frozen cutting material - Cutting material with bones or metal clips The Concept machine has been designed for the use in kitchen areas and is not suitable for wet rooms or industrial environments. The machine must not be operated in an explosive atmosphere

Arbitrary modications and changes to the machine are forbidden due to safety reasons. The operating, maintenance and servicing instructions described in this operating manual must be observed. Repairs and blade changes have to be carried out by trained qualied personnel (please contact the authorised GRAEF SERVICE). The machine has been designed for continuous operation.

The Concept line is characterised by its slim design with large cutting material dimensions and good cleaning capabilities. The blade sizes range between Ø250 and Ø300. The hybrid drive ensures high cutting forces at lowest possible heating. All materials getting in touch with foodstuffs are made of aluminium or special plastics, all of which full the current hygiene regulations. Slide grooves on the blade cover, stop plate and slide facilitate the cutting material feed. The machine is equipped with a restart protection in case of power interruption. The slide can be swivelled by 90° for cleaning. To do so, the stop plate must b completely closed (below zero position).

The cold-meat slicing machines are equipped with protective devices. Incorrect operation or misuse of the system, however, pose hazards for: - the health, - the machine, - other material assets of the operating company. All persons who deal with installing, operating, maintaining and repairing the machine, must be sufciently trained. Plan regular repetitions of training sessions.

3.2 General sources of danger

DANGER With a blade standing still or rotating, there exists a hazard of cutting or cutting off. When the machine is not in operation, the stop plate must always be closed in zero position. DANGER The machine runs with a mains voltage of 230 V and thus must not be opened. The protective grounding system must absolutely be connected, because otherwise it may cause severe electrical shocks. DANGER Attention: Magnetic and electromagnetic elds! Before persons with active implants (heat pacemakers etc.) stay in the vicinity of the machine or operate it, an individual risk assessment must be carried out on site jointly with skilled persons, the company doctor and a cardiologist, if necessary. WARNING When tilting the slide, a hand can be squeezed. Therefore keep the hand which is not used away from the machine CAUTION In the area of the end-piece holder, there is a risk of injury due to the tips and the end- piece holder falling down during the insertion process. CAUTION When mounting dismounted components for cleaning. 3 Safety39
