INSTALLATION

OF THE MACHINE

If you do not use the stand (optional), install the machine on a flat, 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 carefully and insert all the feet in the specific lodgings in the base. For some models, the front support feet can be unscrewed and placed in the desired position depending on the depth of the worktop.

To prevent damage, some models are packaged separately from the disassembled flywheel during transport. If the

received machine flywheel is not assembled, follow these instructions:

• insert the flywheel on the shaft, checking correct correspondence with the flywheel-shaft sleeve holes (Fig. 3-A);

• insert the taper pin in the sleeve with the tapered end (smaller diameter) turned toward the sleeve itself (Fig. 3-B);

WARNING! If the pin is correctly positioned, it will insert almost entirely without being forced.

• hammer down the pin to insert it fully.

The machine must be installed in the immediate vicinity of an EEC standard outlet connected to an electrical supply system which is in conformity with the prevailing regulations for:

• magneto-thermic protection;
• automatic differential switch;
• earthing system.

Before carrying out electrical hook up verify that the characteristics of the electrical power supply is in accordance with those indicated on the machine information plate.

• Connect the machine to the power outlet
• Make sure that the sharpening device protection cover is positioned correctly (closed).
• Make sure that the emergency stop button is not pressed.
• Connect the electrical machine equipment to the mains, pressing button A on/off (LED on).

OPERATION

• Make sure that the sharpening device protection cover is

positioned correctly (closed).

• Make sure that the emergency stop button is not pressed. Press the red button all the way down (Fig. 4-A) to activate the stop function for all machine activations. Once activated, the emergency stop button stays in position (self-hold). To restart machine operation, rotate button in the clockwise direction and set it to the raised run consent position (Fig. 4-B).
• Press button (A) on/off (LED on).
• Manually activate the flywheel, move the carriage with the meat table toward the operator side (Fig. 5).
• Move the meat table (away from the front blade guard plate) just enough in order to cut the desired amount of product, press the button (E);
  WARNING! To avoid problems with cutting (irregular thickness, incomplete slices, etc.), it is best not to set out too much product from the presser arm. If necessary if cutting a considerable quantity of product is necessary, reposition the product multiple times, re-locking the presser arm.
• Set the product to be sliced on the meat table, resting the part to be cut against the front blade guard plate and lock it using the meat table arm.
  WARNING! If the product has already been processed, correctly align the "cutting plate" preceding the front blade guard plate
• If necessary, move the product to the front blade guard plate using the button (E).
  WARNING! Quickly release the button (E) to avoid pressing the product against the front blade guard

plate. A safety device will stop the motor, stopping carriage feeding, but excessive product pressing against the plate could cause the first slice to be coarse and irregular.

• Set the desired slice thickness by means of the buttons (F).
• Slice thickness can be increased 5 hundredths of a millimetre at a time up to 1 millimetre of thickness. After one millimetre, the increase is 0.1mm at a time up to 7mm of thickness.
• Activate the blade by pressing the button (B).

SEMI-AUTOMATIC OPERATION FOR MODELS: Semi-automatic Volano B116SA, Automatic Volano B116A

WARNING! The AUTOMATIC VOLANO

B116A MODEL can be used both in semi-automatic and in automatic mode.

• Press and hold the blade start button with the left hand and activate the flywheel, having it rotate in the clockwise direction. When the blade guard plate moves, release the button (B) and continue turning the flywheel. The product will feed forward and a slice of the previously set thickness will be obtained.

TEMPORARY STOP

• Rotate the flywheel until the carriage is moved completely toward the operator, then stop rotation and stop the blade by pressing the button (I). The front blade guard plate will return to the original closed position.

WARNING! Stop fly-wheel rotation and, after

approximately 20 seconds, the front blade guard plate will automatically return to the original position.

FINAL SHUT-DOWN

• After having followed the instructions for a temporary stop, complete shut-down by pressing the button (A).
• Enable the slice counter function (G) (LED on). Set the number of slices to be cut.

WARNING!

Counter not enabled: y 000, continuous cut

Counter enabled: the number of slices to be cut, from 001 to 999, can be set on the display.

WARNING! An acoustic signal will warn the operator when the set number of slices has been reached.

AUTOMATIC OPERATION

• Completely rotate the carriage speed adjustment knob (D) in the anticlockwise direction.
• If you wish to slice automatically, switch on the slice counter device (G) (LED on) and set the number of slices by means of the buttons (H).

WARNING! If no number has been set and 000

appears on the display: cutting is not permitted.

• Fold down the flywheel grip, pulling it toward the operator, and reposition it against the flywheel itself.
• Start cutting operations by starting up the carriage (C). The product will feed forward and a slice of the previously set thickness will be obtained.
• To adjust speed, rotate the knob (D) in the clockwise direction.

DURING CUTTING

• The counter can be enabled or disabled (G).
• The value set on the slice counter display (H) can be edited.

- TEMPORARY STOP

• Press the button (L) and wait for the carriage to stop.
• Stop the blade (I); the front blade guard plate will move transversely, returning to the original closed position.

WARNING! To prevent the carriage from blocking during cutting, never stop the blade before stopping the carriage. Stop carriage movement and the front blade guard plate will move automatically after 20 seconds, returning to its original position.

• To re-start cutting, start the blade by pressing the button (B) and repeat the operations listed in the paragraph on "AUTOMATIC OPERATION".

WARNING! After a temporary stop with the counter enabled, cutting will re-start with the slice counter display showing the residual value.

WARNING! Cutting can be started in manual mode by rotating the flywheel in the clockwise direction before the front blade guard plate repositions. FINAL SHUT-DOWN

• Perform operations as with a temporary stop and then press the button (A).

EMERGENCY STOP

• For immediate blade stop, press the red mushroom-shaped button (Fig. 4-A) all the way down. In automatic operating mode, also check that the carriage has stopped.

WARNING! The button (Fig. 4-A) maintains its

position when activated. RESET AFTER AN EMERGENCY STOP

• Rotate the button in the clockwise direction and bring it to the raised position (Fig. 4-B): the blade cover gauge plate will return to its original position. Resume cutting activity in the preferred mode.
