Changing the Blades
WARNING
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE SLICER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY TYPE OF MAINTENANCE TASK.
CAUTION
THE BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. ALWAYS HANDLE THEM WITH CARE.
NOTE
DO NOT INTERCHANGE THE TWO BLADE FRAMES. REPLACE THE BLADE
FRAME TO THE SAME SIDE OF THE MACHINE AS IT WAS TAKEN FROM
NOTE
WHEN CHANGING BLADES FIRST NOTE THE DIRECTION THE SHARPENED
EDGES ARE FACING ON THE BLADE FRAME. THEY ARE FACING UP ON ONE
FRAME AND DOWN ON THE OTHER. DO NOT CHANGE THIS DIRECTION.
Place the blade frame on a flat surface. You may use the special knife tool, furnished
with each machine, and shown in the illustration on the next page, or use a common set
of pliers to depress the spring-loaded pin holding each knife. This will reduce the
tension on the knife so that it may be easily removed.
In the illustration on the next page you can see the use of the knife tool. It is inserted
into the blade frame on the spring-loaded pin end and then by lifting up on the tool it will
deflect the pin reducing the tension on the knife. Once this has been done the knife can
be carefully removed.
