Bread slicer C42 – C42S – C52 – C52S – G42
(Original instructions) – Edit. 02/2013 – Rev.A
the assistance of a specialised technician.
The following checks must be performed at the start of every working day and/or shift:
1. For the version WITH COVER, check that the blades do not start moving before the guard is
completely closed
2. Pull the lever; with the blades moving release the lever, accompanying it all the way to rest
position: the blades must stop in about 1 second. If the stopping time is appreciably greater than 1
second, get a specialised technician to adjust the tension of the transmission belt(s). Check that the
blades are all present, intact and not deformed.
3. Check that the crumb collection drawer is completely inserted in its housing and secured with all
the means contemplated and described in this manual (threaded knob for mod. C and G), staff with
threaded knob for mod. C-S). Check that the specific safety signs are intact and clearly visible. If
they are deteriorated, fit identical signs in the same position.
4. Start the machine with the control lever until the machine is moving, then press the emergency
stop button. All movements must stop in about 1 second. If the stopping time is appreciably
greater than 1 second, get a specialised technician to adjust the tension of the transmission belt(s)
(par. 4.4) until a stopping time close to 1 second is obtained.
5. With the emergency button pressed, activate the lever to give the start command. No part of the
machine must move. In order to give the start command it must be necessary first to reset the
emergency stop button and then, immediately afterwards, press the button ref. 1 Figure 5
5.1.4 RESIDUAL RISKS OF A MECHANICAL NATURE
The residual risks peculiar to the machine are the following and/or related to the following phases:
Risk of cutting by contact with the sharp edge of the blades. Despite the measures taken, the moving
blades might still be reachable, albeit with difficulty. Standing in front of the machine, the operator
has one hand busy pulling the lever, but with the other he could, albeit with forced and “unnatural”
movements, reach the blades (not in the version WITH COVER), but there are no reasonably
foreseeable reasons why he should do so: he would have nothing to gain from it! If the operator were
to activate the lever while standing at the side or at the back of the machine (a use expressly
forbidden in this manual), it would be easier to reach the blades, but also in this case there would be
no reasonably foreseeable reason for doing so. Indeed, it would only bring disadvantages (with every
cut he would have to go to the front of the machine to collect the sliced bread, with consequent
prolonging of the work times, he would have to push the lever instead of pulling it with the risk of
muscular and skeletal injuries due to bending forwards, and he could be struck by the lever if it were
to escape his manual control, etc.). It is stressed that for safety reasons the machine can and must
be used in production by only one operator, who must stand exclusively in front of it, in the
area where the slices come out. If this rule is observed and operator only places the bread to be cut
on the loading surface without making any forced and/or abnormal movements, the risk is practically
zero.
There is a risk of cutting by contact with the sharp edge of the blades also if, while standing in front
of the machine (side where sliced bread comes out), the operator were to try to insert his fingers in
the spaces between the blades. In this case too there are no reasonably foreseeable reasons why the
operator should do so. It is stressed that conduct of this kind is absolutely forbidden and that all
cleaning operations must be performed with the machine stopped and disconnected from the
electric power and, if working near the blades, only when wearing suitable cut-proof gloves.
