6.083.98.5.14.00 3.1.1 Individual setting of depositing programs All depositing programs are normally set and stored with an individual number of slices and portions. This applies equally to their positioning. Key combination for storing: hold pressed and activate Restoring the delivery state: hold pressed and activate The program stored last before the machine is switched off will become active (startup program) when restarting the machine.

OPERATING ELEMENTS Slice thickness setting The setting is made by means of the slice thickness control knob. Large fine setting range: between 0 and 3 mm. A setting of less than ’0’ deactivates the tilting safety device (black marking). This is the only position in which the carriage can be tilted, an operation which may become necessary for cleaning purposes.
6.083.98.5.14.00 Product holder To insert the product, the product holder with moveable hooks (spikes) may be locked or unlocked. Before the cutting procedure the product holder is positioned behind the product. Product holder can be removed during cleaning process. Product support An additional product support on side avoids overbalance of the product.
OPERATING ELEMENTS Paper grip The paper grip is used to deposit the cut product directly on the paper or the foil. To insert several paper sheets or foils: S Push the lever to the right against the pressure spring using your thumb until you feel it engage (1).
6.083.98.5.14.00 Circular plate Option This machine permits a circular plate to be attached to the additional guide shaft (see section 4.2, page 28). For an easy and fast handling the circular plate is fixed to the guiding shaft by means of a magnetic lock.
OPERATION/SLICING Positioning/slicing of product S The machine is turned on, all function parts are in a stop position. S Disengage the product holder using the locking lever, move it away from the blade. Positioning of product S The product support may be raised up in order to position the product.
Page 28
6.083.98.5.14.00 Positioning of product S Using your left hand position the product so that it rests on the carriage rear wall and push it against the holder. S Using your right hand push down the lever on holder. Spikes/hooks go into the product and fix them.
Page 29
OPERATION/SLICING Slicing of product S Start the carriage drive. S The carriage starts moving. S Depending on the program setting, the slices are deposited on the receiving table. The drive is automatically turned off: S on EMERGENCY OFF S when the maximum stack height or the number of slices is reached.

OPERATION/SLICING Option: circular plate This machine permits a circular plate to be easily installed. Rectangular products can only be deposited in a circular pattern with the aid of this circular plate. Attaching of circular plate S Move the receiving table up to the stop, raise it to a vertical position towards you and remove it in the upward direction.
Page 32
6.083.98.5.14.00 Setting possibility Standard presetting: depositing program ’circular’ with 5 slices/circle and a large product diameter. The number of slices may be changed up to a maximum of 99 slices per circle and circle diameter. To obtain the adjacent pattern, the number of slices must be increased accordingly.
CLEANING Preparing for cleaning S Switch off the machine. S Disconnect the power plug. S Set the slice thickness control knob to less than ’0’ (black marking). Thoroughly clean the machine before initial operation and after each use. If necessary, clean it several times a day.
