OPERATION

SHARP KNIFE

TO AVOID SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY

Safety devices incorporated in this slicer must be in their correct operating position anytime the slicer 
is in use.

• With the slicer turned off, pull the food chute completely toward you and place the food product on 
  the food chute. Slice only boneless, unfrozen product with the slicer. Use the end weight to hold the 
  food product in place.

• Make sure all knob are tightened prior to using the slicer.

• Rotate the slice thickness dial counterclockwise to the desired slice thickness.
  NOTE : Tighten the board support knob (on model GS-10LD only) to support the board before slicing.

• After slicing is completed, always turn the slice thickness dial completely clockwise to close the 
  gauge plate. The number on the thickness dial do not indicate actual measurements.

• Turn on slicer.

• Use the food chute handle to manually push the food chute back and forth. The food chute handle is 
  the only part of the slicer you should touch while slicing. Do not catch slice with your hand. Let slices 
  drop on the receiving area.

• Turn off slicer after each use and always turn slice thickness dial completely clockwise to close the 
 gauge plate.

• Pull the food chute completely towards you, close the gauge plate, if you have not already done so, 
  and remove the product from the food chute.

If a product needs to be adjusted during slicing, always turn off slicer. Close the gauge plate, and pull 
the food chute all the way towards you prior to adjusting the product and the end weight.
