Hand guards and finger guards reduce the risk of accidental contact with the blade during cutting, mounted on the food carriage plate or on the carriage itself.

Types: plexiglass hand guard (transparent, to keep the cut visible), carriage guard (metal, mounted on the side of the carriage) and plate finger guard (direct protection on the food-carriage plate).

How to choose the right part: check the exact machine model and, for plexiglass versions, the distance between the mounting holes (e.g. 87mm) — a specific measurement that must match the original.

Compatibility by brand: available for Sirman (mod. Giada, Smart, Mirra, Agata), FAC and Swedlinghaus (mod. 195/220/250), Noaw (mod. 300GE, TAS T4S 275/300E), Idea (220/250/300), Berkel (mod. BEG350/370), Kolossal (300-350iK) and Mistro (GS300-350).

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure the plexiglass hand guard I need to replace?
Measure the distance between the mounting holes with a caliper: together with the exact machine model, it's the most reliable reference.

Does one brand's carriage guard fit another brand?
Rarely: always check the exact brand and model, the mounting system often differs between manufacturers.
