2.2.2 Mechanical safety devices
The slicer is manufactured according to the
EEC 89/392 and 91/368 standards, from
their initial publication up to September
1993.
The mechanical safety devices are:
• Product holder removable only with
the slice thickness control on 0 (slice
thickness plate positioned to protect
the blade). After removing the
product holder the slice thickness
plate is mechanically clamped.
• Protection devices mounted on the
product holder to prevent the operator
from any accidental contact with the
blade.
• Blade guard. This fixed ring protects
that part of the blade which is not
used for the cutting operation.
• A special mechanical safety device
which permits sharpening of the
blade, keeping the fingers of the
operator away from the cutting edge
of the blade.
