5.1 Daily Inspection

Perform daily check before starting daily work.

Important Points in Daily Inspection

  • Check that the blades are free from chips and cracks. If chipped or cracked, replace the blade.
  • Check that any problem found in previous operations has been solved.
  • Check that any remaining material or foreign material does not exist in the food passing areas.
  • Check that the machine is free from dust, unnecessary oil, and other contaminants.
  • Check for loose or missing screws, bolts, etc. In particular, perform careful inspection of the (two) hexagon nuts used to attach the plain blade to the plain blade base.
  • Check warning labels to make sure they are legible. Replace any that are not.

NOTE

  • Do not disassemble or adjust other parts than those specified in this manual.
  • Do not splash water onto electric parts.
