TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY:
•
NEVER touch rotating knife.
•
ALWAYS keep hands clear of all moving parts.
•
ALWAYS turn off slicer, return auto engage lever to "Manual" position, turn slice thickness dial
clockwise past zero until it stops, and remove food chute before sharpening.
•
NEVER sharpen slicer unless all guards are installed.
•
ALWAYS make sure food chute is removed and auto engage lever is in "Manual" position when
sharpening.
IMPORTANT GENERAL NOTES
1. Symptoms of a dull knife are excess waste/or a "tail" on the unsliced portion remaining in the food
chute.
2. The knife needs to be sharpened periodically to provide consistent slices and maximum food
product yield. Sharpening the knife lightly every few days is more efficient than heavy sharpening
at less frequent intervals.
3. The sharpening stones are diamond grit and sharpen more quickly and aggressively than in the
past!
4. Over sharpening will prematurely wear out the knife.
PREPARING TO SHARPEN
Turn slicer off by pressing the stop button.
Make sure auto engage lever is in the "Manual" position.
1. Turn the slice thickness dial clockwise past zero until it stops so the slicer table covers knife edge.
2. Remove the food chute from slicer.
3. Clean and dry both sides of the knife before sharpening following instructions for knife cleaning on
pages 10 through 12.
NOTE: The knife cover must be on during sharpening. The slicer will not start if the knife cover is
removed.
