Work to be performed on the electrical control and switching unit and/or electrical installation work on the machine may only be carried out by an authorized electrician. After such work is complete, the function of all safety equipment must be checked by this specialist and the unit approved for use.
If the operator notices changes in the operating behaviour of the machine/unit, they are obliged to bring it to an immediate stop and to inform the person responsible of the fault. Additions or modifications which alter the technical characteristics of the machine/system or impair the function of safety equipment may only be made following written approval from the manufacturer.
The machine is equipped with protective covers (1+2) in the vicinity of the cutting chamber, which prevent the user from unintentional interference and immediately put the machine out of action when opened. The STOP button (3) on the machine's display (see 3.4) allows operation to be interrupted at any point in the cutting process.

3.3 DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION The IC-type slicing and portioning cutter allows you to cut meat, chops, bacon, fish, cheese and sausage products into slices of a predetermined thickness. Depending on the application, this is performed with a rotating, straight or serrated, single or double blade. In addition, the machine/unit is divided into various areas/components: 1- Transport of the cutting product with the product gripper 2- Cutting zone with rotating blade...
Page 16
1. Transport of the cutting product by the gripper. The cutting product which has been inserted into the cutting chamber is held by the gripper. The gripper moves towards the cutting zone. A light barrier detects the leading edge of the cutting product and the control unit calculates the total length from the distance to the gripper.
3.4 CONTROLS When the machine is switched on at the master switch, the following screen appears on the display: 3.4.1 TASTATUR / ANZEIGE LEFT SIDE RIGHT SIDE Start program 3x function keys (depending on the icons on screen) Stop program Rotary pulse encoder (DIG) Advance infeed belt Reverse infeed belt...

ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCES This machine can be used in meat processing companies without any kind of restrictions. INSTALLATION The MHS-service personnel is responsible for the transport, set-up, and installation of the Slicing and portioning machine as described in the Installation manual. The machine has to be operated with all safety equipment intact as described in the safety instructions (see section 1.2).
4.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The machine is configured ex factory to an operating voltage of 400 V, 50 Hz AC three phase current (clockwise field of rotation). Check the field of rotation of the mains connection! For further information regarding protection of the connection refer to the type plate. The machine must be connected to a protective system in order to protect against hazardous electric shocks which could lead to life- threatening injuries or death!
4.3 SERVICE MENU A wide range of machine settings can be made from the Service menu. The menu is accessed by pressing the “Service menu” button. SERVICE MENU BUTTON Single cut Page backward Functions in the Service menu: Display settings Machine settings Statistics Hardware settings...

Page 23
The value “Brake delay” (Delay Initiator) is used to modify the braking point of the blade drive for different blade geometries, in order to prevent the blade from coming to a stop in the cutting chamber. This is achieved by entering one braking time for the minimum blade speed and one for the maximum.
4.3.3 STATISTICS Various information on the hours of operation, servicing, and blade usage times can be accessed from the Statistics menu. Total operating hours: Total hours of operation of the machine in hours Cut counter: Number of cuts made by the blade since last blade replacement Service interval counter: Operating hours since last service Blade exchange interval: Number of cuts between blade replacements...

4.3.5 PASSWORD PROTECTION Password protection for a number of submenus can be selected or deselected from the “Password protection” menu. It is also possible to modify the individual passwords from here, though this requires you to know the old password. 1.
OPERATION The machine may only be operated in compliance with all safety requirements, and when safety equipment is fully functional. If such regulations are not observed, the user risks being injured by the blade. In order to rule out a risk to life and limb for the user, a function check of protective devices must be performed on a daily basis, before the machine is used.
