Operation
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 either with the pusher handle.
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 feed carriage (10) all the way towards the operator and the lift the Last Slice device (9).
2. Place the product to be sliced in the feed carriage (10), firmly against the carriage barrier
wall closest to the operator, and up against the Slice thickness plate (3). Place the Last Slice
device (9) on top of the product to be sliced.
3. Set the desired thickness of slice using the thickness control (5).
4. Switch the slicer on by pressing the green "ON" button at the front of the machine (4).
Immediately the blade will spin in an anti-clockwise direction.
5. Grasp the carriage pusher handle (8) firmly and push the product holder away from you
towards the back of the slicer. Once the slice has been cut, pull the meat table back towards
you.
