An electrically-operated slice-cutting machine for cutting slices offin particular, strand-shapedmaterial to be cutpreferably, foodincludes: a machine housing which holds a drive motor and a rotating and/or circumferentially-movable cutting blade driven by the drive motor; a product feed for feeding the material to be cut to the cutting blade; a carrier plate; and a cutting frame arranged on the carrier plate and via which the material to be cut is fed to the cutting blade. The cutting frame is geometrically arranged such that the material to be cut is feedable by the product feed through the cutting frame to the cutting blade in an operating state of the slice-cutting machine. The slice-cutting machine has at least a first and a second lever element for releasably fixing the cutting frame, each of the two lever elements being transferrable from a holding position into a release position.

An electrically powered disc cutting machine for cutting off discs from in particular elongate material to be cut, preferably food, includes: a cutting device having a circular blade that rotates in a cutting plane about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the cutting plane and is driven by a blade motor. The cutting device includes: a carriage for carrying a carriage plate in a carriage plane perpendicular to the cutting plane and to carry at least one carriage wall that protrudes from the carriage plane; and a holder for material to be cut, the holder having a bearing surface for receiving the material to be cut and for bringing the material to be cut closer to the circular blade at an angle <90 relative to the cutting plane. The holder for material to be cut includes a fastening apparatus for fastening the holder for material to be cut.

An electrically operated slice cutting machine for separating slices from, in particular, strand-shaped products to be cut, preferably food products, includes: a machine housing, which holds a drive motor and a rotating cutting blade driven by the drive motor, and having a storage region arranged in a region of the cutting blade, having an essentially planar tray for receiving separated slices, the tray being removably coupled to the machine housing or to an attachment part of the machine housing by a coupling device, the tray being coupled in a horizontal operating position during a cutting operation, and being movable in at least one removal position, in which the tray is configured to be released and removed from the coupling device, when outside of the cutting operation. The coupling device has an upper and a lower coupling arm. Both coupling arms form a coupling recess, which is open on one side.
