SHARP KNIFE
TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY

“MANUAL” position, turn slice thickness
dial completely clockwise and remove food chute before sharpening.

GENERAL :
1. Symptoms of a dull knife are excess waste/or “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.
