6. Lift the food pusher up to its highest position and tilt it to the left (Fig. 8-1).
7. Plug in the vegetable cutter.
8. Place a food container under the ejection chute.
9. Trim the food product to fit into the food hopper. Food must not extend above the top
of the hopper.
10. Place the product in the food hopper. Long products can be continuously fed into
the continuous feed food hopper using the plastic food pusher to feed the product.
NOTE:
When using the continuous feed food hopper the food pusher for the kidney
shaped hopper must be in the lowered position (Fig. 8-2). The vegetable cutter will not
operate if the kidney shaped hopper is open.
11. Lift the food pusher up and tilt it to the right until the food pusher covers the hopper
opening.
12. Press the food pusher according to the resistance of the material being processed in
order to hold the product and keep it from rotating.
NOTE:
Do not apply heavy pressure with the food pusher while processing or food
will not maintain a uniform cut.
13. Push the on/off latch downward to the ON position. The vegetable cutter will be activated at this point. The
food pusher is interlocked and activates the unit as long as the latch is down in the ON position (Fig. 8-2).
NOTE:
The food pusher must fully cover hopper opening or the vegetable cutter will not start.
DO NOT put hand in hopper with the on/off latch in the ON position.
ALWAYS use the food pusher or plastic pusher to feed product.
14. Lift the on/off latch upward to the OFF position to stop the vegetable cutter.
15. Pull the food pusher up to its highest position and tilt it to the left.
16. Repeat steps 9 through 15 until all product is cut.
17. Unplug the vegetable cutter.
18. Raise the hopper head to the left so it rests in the open position.
19. Remove cutting disc for cleaning before slicing a different product (see disc removal section on page 11
and cleaning section on pages 12 and 13 for instructions).

DISC INSTALLATION
NOTE:
For ease of installation and removal of discs, the center of the disc (mounting hole) and the disc drive
shaft must be clean and dry.
NOTE:
Make sure the ejector plate is securely on the drive shaft before installing the cutting disc.
DO NOT use force or tools to install and remove discs.
Cutting edges of discs are extremely sharp. Always keep fingers away from sharp knife edges and
handle discs with extreme care. A cut resistant glove can be used if desired.
SINGLE DISCS
1. Carefully hold the disc (palm up) with the disc hub down and place the disc onto the
drive shaft (Fig. 9-1).
2. Turn the disc until the drive pins line up with the slots on the disc hub and the disc is
securely on the drive shaft (Fig. 9-2 and Fig. 9-3).
FRENCH FRY DISCS
NOTE:
When using the french fry discs always be sure to use the top slicing disc with the
matching sized lower disc. Check the disc number imprinted on the back of each disc for a
proper match.
1. Carefully hold the lower disc (palm up) with the cutting grids up.
2. Place the lower disc onto the drive shaft.
3. Turn the lower disc until it locks into position and the cutting grids line up
with the ejection chute (Fig. 9-4).
4. Carefully hold the upper disc (palm up) with the disc hub down and place it on the
drive shaft (Fig. 9-5).
5. Turn the upper disc until the drive pins line up with the slots on the disc hub and
the disc is securely on the drive shaft (Fig. 9-6).
