CHAP. 1 – INFORMATION REGARDING THE MACHINE
1.1 – GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The cutter must only be used by trained staff, which must be perfectly aware of the Safety
Standards contained in this manual.
In the event of staff turnover, envision training time.
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operation, disconnect the machine’s plug
from the mains power supply.
When intervening on the machine for maintenance or cleaning (and therefore guards are
removed), assess residual risks thoroughly.
During maintenance or cleaning, remain concentrated on the operation in progress.
Check the state of the power supply cable regularly; a worn cable, or however not integral,
represents a serious electrical danger.
If the machine should imply or demonstrate malfunctioning, do not use it and do not
intervene directly to repair; contact the “After-sales Centre”.
Do not use the machine for frozen products, meat and fish with bones or any non-
foodstuffs.
Do not insert fingers into the hole on the lid with the machine operating.
The manufacturer is relieved of all liability in the following cases:
the machine is tampered with by unauthorised staff;
components are replaced by non-original spare parts;
if the instructions given in this manual are not followed thoroughly;
the surfaces of the machine are treated with unsuitable products.
1.2 – SAFETY DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE MACHINE
1.2.1 – mechanical safety devices
For that regarding mechanical safety, the machine described in this manual satisfies the
2006/42/CE Directive.
Safety devices are obtained with (see 1.3.3) interlocked lid and processing tank.
1.2.2 – electrical safety devices
Regarding electrical safety, the machine described in this manual satisfies the 2006/95/CE and
2004/108/CE Directives.
The machine is provided with:
Mechanical micro switches, which make the machine stop if the lid is removed (see FIG.n°
1), not allowing switch-on if said guard is not in the closed position;
Relay in the command circuit, which requires voluntary re-start of the machine if there is an
accidental power cut.
In spite of the CE professional cutter being provided with regulatory measures for mechanical
and electric protections (both during operation and cleaning and maintenance phases), residual
risks exist, which cannot be eliminated totally, recalled in this manual by the wording
ATTENTION.
These are concerned with the cutting hazard deriving from handling the cutters during product
loading and when cleaning and sharpening the cutters
1.3 – DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
1.3.1 – general description
The CE professional cutter has been designed and manufactured by our company, with the
5
precise purpose of chopping, shredding, mixing, emulsifying, kneading food products (e.g.
vegetables, meat, bread, etc.) and to guarantee:
- maximum safety regarding use, cleaning and maintenance;
- maximum hygiene, obtained thanks to a detailed selection of materials that come into
contact with the food stuffs, and with the elimination of edges in the cutter that come into
contact with the product, in a way to obtain simple and total cleanliness as well as easy
disassembly;
- strength and stability of all components;
- very easy handling.
1.3.2 – construction features
The CE professional cutter is manufactured entirely in plastic material compatible with
foodstuffs.
This guarantees contact with the foodstuffs (hygiene) and the resistance to acids and salts as
well as high resistance to oxidation.
The cutters are in tempered and ground cutlery steel (AISI 420); they allow to cut, shred, whip
and knead without having ever to change the tools.
