SECTION 7.0 Instructions For Operation (continued)
To slice meat, START the Power Knife and hold it against the meat with the handle
horizontal (see illustration). Apply a slight cutting pressure and move the knife up (or down)
the meat, as you prefer. Cutting is always done with the
trailing edge of the blade- i.e., if
you use a down-stroke, the top half of the blade is cutting. Conversely, on an up-stroke, the
bottom half of the blade is cutting. (Refer to the illustration) Near the bottom of the cone, it
is necessary to use an up-stroke to trim as close as possible to the cone support plate.
The strips of meat will drop from between the blade and the depth gauge as they are cut.
Note: The Power Knife will not cut properly without its depth gauge in place.
