Residual risks The safety ring around the blade protects the operator from incidental contact with the blade although, in order to allow the sharpening oper- ations, the protection in the sharpening area may not en- tirely eliminate the risk of cut- ting.

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 recom- mended. INSTALLATION

tional), install the machine on a at, smooth and dry surface suitable for supporting the weight of the machine itself plus the goods to be sliced. The recommended height of the worktop is approximately 80 cm. Lift the machine careful- ly and insert all the feet in the specic lodgings in the base. For some models, the front support feet can be unscrewed and placed in the desired posi- tion depending on the depth of the worktop. To prevent damage, some mod- els are packaged separately from the disassembled y- wheel during transport. If the received machine ywheel is not assembled, follow these in- structions: - insert the ywheel on the shaft, checking correct cor- respondence with the y- wheel-shaft sleeve holes (Fig. 3-A); - insert the taper pin in the sleeve with the tapered end (smaller diameter) turned to- ward the sleeve itself (Fig. 3-B); CAUTION! If the pin is correctly positioned, it will insert almost entirely with- out being forced. - hammer down the pin to in- sert it fully. OPERATION - Make sure that the blade is properly protected from the blade protection: use the blade protection locking lever, if present (Fig.4). Check that the thickness adjustment knob is in the safety position (position “0”) (13); - if the handle is folded toward the ywheel, lift it to the work- ing position, perpendicular to the ywheel; - using the ywheel handle, rotate the ywheel (7) to bring the carriage (5) fully forward (toward the operator); - pull back (away from the blade) the meat table (4) using the meat table advance mech- anism (12); - set the product to be sliced on the meat table; - grip the handle to vertically slide the product holder and press it on the product; - grip the handle of the prod- uct holder arm and push it with force on the product to lock it; - arrange the desired slice thickness, rotating the knob at the same time and selecting a thickness; - move the meat table with product forward (toward the blade), using the meat table rapid advance device (11) or meat table advanced mecha- nism (12); CAUTION! Leave a space of 0.5 - 1 cm between the blade and the product. - uncover the blade guard, de- pending on the mode: a) pull the locking lever, if present, toward the operator, having it rotate in the anticlockwise di- rection; b) loosen the locking knob on the blade guard, pull toward the operator, re-tight- en the knob to lock the blade guard in its stand-by position (blade uncovered); CAUTION Sharp blade, cutting hazard! When the blade is not covered by the guard, be extremely careful to keep your hands as far away from the unprotected area as possible. - activate the ywheel by hav- ing it rotate it in the clockwise direction.

WARNING: risk of dam-

ages! Never turn the y- wheel anti-clockwise, reverse ywheel rotation may serious- ly damage the machine. - during the return movement of the carriage (towards the operator) the meat table will automatically move towards the blade; - when the meat table gets to limit advancing towards the blade, stop slicing and lift up the top clamp. Use the meat table rapid advance device or the meat table advance mech- anism to pull the meat table away from the blade. Reposi- tion the product, relock it with the top clamp and restart slic- ing.; - unload the product following the operations in the reverse order. CAUTION Cutting haz- ard! After the cutting operation has been completed, turn the lever in the opposite direction: the protective ring will overlap the blade, elimi- nating the hazard. CLEANING Clean the machine at the end of their use and always before using, after a long period of inactivity. Use cut and tear re- sistant gloves and perform all operations with great care. Products for cleaning: use only water and biode- gradable mild detergent, us- ing 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. DISMANTLING - Check that the guard is cover- ing the blade properly (9).

- Unscrew the slice deector locking screw by hand and re- move it. - Remove the pan. - Remove the meat table, rotat- ing the locking lever in the anti- clockwise direction, lift the table only and remove it. - Remove the collection tray. If the tray is locked by two side pins, loosen them before remo- ving the tray. WARNING! For some models, push the meat table forward before lifting it with its top clamp arm. 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; WARNING! Never acti- vate the ywheel while cleaning the blade. - the safety ring: use a soft brush to clean the area be- tween the blade and the safety ring; WARNING! Sharp blade, cutting hazard! When the blade is not covered by the guard, be extremely careful to keep your hands as far away from the unprotected area as possible. - the machine body: use a damp cloth or a sponge. Dry carefully. REASSEMBLING - Check that the blade protec- tion duly covers the blade (9); - put the waste tray in its spe- cic position; - close the slice deector; - using the ywheel handle, rotate the ywheel (7) to bring the sliding meat table (4) fully forward (towards the opera- tor); - with a vertical movement from top to bottom, place the meat table in its position.

WARNING: risk of inju-

ry from sharp blade! For some models, after placing the meat table, push it forward in order to secure it completely in the carriage. If present, close the lever or tighten the knob on the meat table. MAINTENANCE Blade Sharpening Frequency and duration of sharpening depend on the use of the equipment.

WARNING: risk of in-

jury from sharp blade! When the blade is not covered with the blade protection, pay extra attention to keep your hands as far as possible from the unprotected area. For sharpening, follow the instruction according to the model: VOLANO 12 RED (Fig. 6) - Clean the blade, freeing it of residual grease. - Check that the guard is cov- ering the blade properly - Move the meat table away from the blade. - Lift the sharpener and rotate it 180°. - Carefully lower the sharpen- er. The blade will be automati- cally centred between the two grinding wheels. - Press the button (B) for ap- proximately 10-15 seconds and simultaneously rotate the ywheel. Release the button (B), press the button (C) for 2-3 seconds and release it. - Stop ywheel rotation. - Reposition the sharpener in its original position and tighten the knob only after the blade has stopped moving.

WARNING: risk of dam-

ages! Do not excessively force (more than 2-3 seconds) the deburring operation to prevent damaging of the blade. Lubrication (Fig. 7) - Put some drops of oil over the bar (1) and in the junction of the slice thickness-regulating knob (2); - put some drops of oil in the holes (3 and 4); - put some drops of oil on the ywheel in its junction to the tree (5); - briey activate the ywheel. For lubrication only use acid free oil (we recommend Vase- line oil). Do not use vegetable oil. SERVICE No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qual- ied personnel.
