Things to keep in mind
1. The foodstuff should only be loaded onto the meat table with the thickness control set
to zero and the power switched off at the control panel.
aside from being essential to your safety, these conditions keep the foodstuff to be
sliced (particularly if it is solid) from being accidently knocked against the cutting
edge of the blade, which could be damaged.
2. The recommended, and only safe way of moving the meat table during slicing
operations is with the pusher handle (22).
3. The slicing movement should be done with a speed that is constant and appropriate to
the density and/or hardness of the foodstuff to be sliced. The general rule-of-thumb is
that the harder the foodstuff, the slower the slicing. Don't attempt to slice fresh meat
quickly, as too rapid a stroke will tear the meat.
following this rule will result in a slice with a good, clean appearance, without putting
undue strain on either the cutting blade or the motor.
4. Sharpen the blade as soon as the sliced foodstuff begins to look ragged or roughened,
or when the effort required to slice increases significantly. refer to the Maintenance
section for the correct procedure for blade sharpening.
Manual operation
Begin using the slicer by returning the thickness control to zero and making sure that the meat
tray carriage is pulled to the front of the slicer.
1. Draw the pusher/LSD (5) back from the Slice thickness plate (6) and raise it.
2. Place the product to be sliced on the meat table (4), firmly against the carriage barrier wall
closest to the operator, and up against the Slice thickness plate (6). Place the pusher/LSD (5)
on top of the product to be sliced.
3. Set the desired thickness of slice using the thickness control (7).
4. Switch the slicer on by pressing the ON button at the front of the machine (1). Immediately
the power indicator (3) will light up, showing power is on, and the blade will spin in an anti-
clockwise direction.
