The blade cover tie rod with microswitch is the component that holds the slicer's blade cover in position and keeps it tensioned, ensuring the guard stays properly clamped onto the blade. It incorporates a safety microswitch (w/micro) that prevents the machine from starting or running when the blade cover is not installed or not correctly secured.

Technical specifications:

• Thread diameter: 6 mm
• Tie rod length: 148 mm
• Micro diameter: 10 mm
• Length M (micro): 52 mm
• Version: CE domestic type

Compatibility: FAC slicers, models 250E and 275E (old-type version, also shared with the FAC 220 of the same series with these 6x148 dimensions).

When to replace it: the tie rod should be changed when the blade cover no longer clamps firmly, when the thread is worn or stripped, or when the microswitch no longer trips correctly and the machine does not start (or starts even without the blade cover fitted). Always check the dimensions of the original part before purchase (6 mm thread and 148 mm length), since the FAC series uses tie rods of different lengths depending on the model and type (old/new).
