Blade sharpening
The self-contained blade sharpener (with its own grinding and fi nishing stones) makes
blade sharpening a simple task.
However, because you must clean the blade before sharpening, you must wear
protective steel mesh gloves during this operation.
Part of this operation requires the slicer to be switched on with the blade rotating. You
should take the utmost care during that phase of the operation.
The slicer blade requires regular sharpening to work cleanly and effi ciently. How often
you sharpen the blade will depend on the condition of the blade after use and the type of
products being sliced.
To keep the blade working effi ciently, we recommend that you sharpen it at least once every
day.
You should keep in mind the following things when sharpening the blade:
1. The blade should only be sharpened after the slicer has been cleaned as specifi ed in the
previous section; and
2. The sharpener cannot function properly once the blade diameter has been reduced
by more than 10mm. Contact your authorised Brice technician to arrange for a
re place ment once the blade wears to this point.
To sharpen the blade:
1. Switch the slicer off at the power switch and at the powerpoint, and disconnect the
power cord.
2. Follow the instructions in the previous section for disassembling and cleaning the
blade. Replace and secure the centre plate but do not oil the blade at this stage.
The centre plate must be secured to enable the machine to operate.
3. Lift the sharpener cover (1).
4. Pull pin (2) to unlock the sharpener (3).
5. Still holding onto the pin, swing the
mechanism 90 degrees clockwise so that
the grinding and fi nishing stones sit over the
top of the blade. Release the pin to lock the
sharpener in the sharpening position.
6. Plug the slicer back into the powerpoint, and
switch the slicer on so that the blade begins
to rotate
7. Slowly press lever (4) to bring both the
sharpening and fi nishing stones into contact
with the blade. Hold the stones gently against
the blade for between 10 and 15 seconds.
8. Switch off the machine.
9. When the blade stops turning, pull pin (2) to
unlock the sharpener and, still holding onto
the pin, swing the mechanism 90 degrees
anti-clockwise and release the pin.
