adjustable slicer plate (Fig. 2) into operating
position. Slicing thickness may be adjusted
from approximately
1
/
16
" to

/

the adjusting nut (Fig. 2), without removing
unit from its assembled position. The easy

SHREDDER PLATE AND PLATE
HOLDER
Shredder plates are available with
3
/
32
",
3
/
16
",
5
/
16
" and
1
/
2
" hole sizes. These plates have keyhole slots for
attaching to shoulder studs on the plate holder. The shredder
plate also has two locking tabs (Fig. 3), which prevent spin-off
during high-speed operation. The two tabs allow the shredder
plate to engage the plate holder shoulder pins in all positions;
one tab (and only one) will always engage a plate holder
spoke. A simple method of attaching is to loosely assemble
plate to plate holder, then place it plate side down on a work
surface (not a
fi
nished surface as teeth will mar the
fi
nish).
Press down and turn the plate holder until the plate locks
into place. To detach the plate from the plate holder, place
the assembled plate and plate holder face down on a work
surface (as when attaching the plate), then, using a
fi
nger
of one hand, depress the tab (Fig. 3) while rotating the plate
holder with the other hand.
The detachable plate design makes it possible to use one plate holder for several shredder plates;
however, a separate plate holder may be ordered and used for each size plate, if desired, for a complete
unit change. The coarse plate is normally used for making chopped slaw, cutting vegetables for soup
stock, salad blends or hash brown potatoes. The medium and
fi
ner plates are for
fi
ne shredding of carrots,
beets, turnips, etc., and for salads or quick cooking use.
GRATER PLATE AND PLATE HOLDER
The grater plate (Fig. 4) also has keyhole slots and
attaches to the same plate holder as the shredder
plates. Loosely assemble plate to plate holder, then
place the plate side down on a work surface (not
a
fi
nished surface as the teeth will mar the
fi
nish).
Press down and turn the plate holder until the plate
locks into place. Reverse assembly procedure to
detach plate from the plate holder.
The grater plate may be used for crumbling hard
cheese or grating hard vegetables.
