• A photoelectric cell (fig.2, n°15) that prevents the machine from operating when the beam is broken (optional) (MRL – MRL ETL – MRM).

OPERATION

If your machine is equipped with a base (fig.1, n°8) (optional), the braked castors must be locked when the machine is in operation (fig.1, n°9).
Switch on the power to the machine at the start of the day using the emergency stop (fig.1,n°5).
For machines equipped with a digital display (fig.6) (MRK – MRK ETL – MRF – MRL – MRL ETL – MRM – MRC), press the green power on button (fig.6, n°24).

Operating procedure (fig.5)

• Place the loaf on the rear table, between the blades and the moving section.
• Close the rear cover (MRZ – MRP – MRK – MRK ETL – MRF – MRP – MRQ – MRR); this action will start the machine. If your machine is equipped with photoelectric cells (optional) (MRL – MRL ETL – MRM), press the green button (fig.6, n°24) in order to start the cutting process.
• Once the cutting process has finished, retrieve the sliced loaf from the front of the machine.
  The rear cover will open (MRZ – MRP – MRK – MRK ETL – MRF – MRP – MRQ – MRR). If your machine is fitted with a front cover, open it before retrieving the loaf (optional) (MRC – MRC ETL – MRR).
  At the end of the day, for machines equipped with a digital display (MRZ – MRP – MRK – MRK ETL –MRF – MRL – MRL ETL – MRM – MRC), press the yellow safety power off button (fig.6, n°26). Press the red emergency stop button (fig.1, n°5) to switch off the power to the machine.

• Opening the front safety cover (fig.2, n°17) prevents the machine from operating (MRC-MRC ETL – MRR).
• Passing in front of the photoelectric cells (fig.2, n°15) prevents the machine from operating (MRL – MRL ETL – MRM).
• The activation of a safety cut-out is indicated by a message on the display (fig.6, n°23) (MRK – MRK ETL – MRF – MRL – MRL ETL – MRM – MRC).

MAINTENANCE

Daily, by a trained operator.

• Check whether you need to empty the crumb tray.
• Clean the tables using a brush.
• Use a dry cloth to clean the inside.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the outside.

Every 25,000 loaves and/or at least once a year, by an approved agent.

Remove the plug from the socket.
Check the condition of the cutting blades.
If you notice a deterioration in cutting quality, the cutting blades must be replaced (JAC part number:
610011, 6110001 in the JAC Spare Parts catalogue).
If the blades need to be replaced, do so in accordance with the blade replacement procedure.

NB: Do not overtighten the blades, as this risks distorting the frames.
Sweep and vacuum the inside of the machine.
Check bearing condition, then lubricate them.

Lubricate the actuator joints.
Check that your approved agent has recorded his work in your service booklet in order to maintain your 5-year warranty cover.
Additional maintenance for models with lubrication
The oil to be used is: 7940019 (as quoted in the JAC “spare parts” catalogue).
Or a food-grade liquid vegetable oil with a natural antioxidant.

Every 1,000 loaves or every 15 days, by a trained operator:
Add the dose of food-grade oil (100 to 150 ml) required to impregnate the felt pads on the carriage (operate the carriage advance button to enable access to the oil filler plug).

Every 25,000 loaves and/or at least once a year, by an approved agent:

Remove the plug from the socket.
Replace the pusher felt pads.

Blade replacement

(Fig.8)

Always wear cut-resistant gloves (EN 388:2003 version B= 5) and safety footwear when replacing the blade or when working in the vicinity of the blade.
Ensure that the plug on your machine has been disconnected from the mains.
For machines fitted with front and rear covers (MRC – MRC ETL) remove the front cover by means of the 4 screws holding it on (fig.7).

• Remove the rear panel from the machine by means of the 4 screws.
• Remove the two screws for the rear table and slide it towards the rear of the machine in order to release the front table.
• Unscrew the bagger by means of the left-hand thumbscrew; unscrew the right-hand thumbscrew and remove the two screws from the cover.
• Open the cover. Remove the 4 screws from the front table and withdraw it.
• On the upper part of the front frame, remove screws A, which secure the frame to the polypropylene strips (never remove the strips from the frame, as you risk altering factory settings).
• Lay the frame down forwards. Replace the blades on the rear frame (place something to protect yourself on the front frame blades). Remove the locknuts on screws B (MRF – MRM – MRR – MRQ) (Remove the blade-tightening Allen screws B). Replace the blades, checking that they locate correctly in the swing arm pins. Retighten the blades by tightening screws B,using the blades remaining on the frame as a reference. Then tighten the nuts (machine fitted with lubrication option).

In order not to distort the frame and avoid the risk of dangerous breakages, only replace 1 to 3 blades at a time alternating from left to right.
Resume the procedure from point E for the front frame and refit the front frame and the cover sections.

Connect your machine to the mains supply; it is now ready.
Check that your approved agent has recorded his work in your service booklet in order to maintain your 5-year warranty cover.
