Knife Sharpening
SHARP KNIFE BLADE
TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY:
NOTE: Sharpening of the blade does NOT apply to frozen PF model slicers.
• NEVER
touch rotating knife.
• ALWAYS
keep hands clear of all moving parts.
• ALWAYS
turn slicer off, return auto engage lever to “Manual” position (automatic slicers only), turn slice
thickness dial clockwise past zero “0” until it stops, and remove food chute before sharpening.
• NEVER
sharpen slicer unless all guards are installed.
• ALWAYS
make sure food chute is removed and auto engage lever is in “Manual” position when sharpening
automatic slicers.
WHEN AND HOW OFTEN TO SHARPEN THE KNIFE
1. Indications of a dull knife are excess waste/or a “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 effective than heavy sharpening at less frequent intervals.
PREPARING TO SHARPEN
To prevent illness or death caused by the spread of food-borne pathogens, it is important to
properly clean and sanitize the entire slicer as any surface of the slicer can become contaminated.
It is the responsibility of the slicer owner/operator to follow all guidelines, instructions and laws as established by
your local and state health departments and the manufacturers of chemical sanitizers.
Before sharpening, it is extremely important to clean and sanitize the slicer completely according to
the cleaning instructions presented in this manual. The slicer must be cleaned and sanitized again
after sharpening.
Turn slicer off by pressing the stop button (automatic slicers only) or by pushing the on/off knob
inward.
Make sure the auto engage lever is in the “Manual” position (automatic slicers only).
1. Turn slice thickness dial clockwise past zero “0” until it stops so the slicer table covers knife edge.
2. Remove food chute from slicer.
3. Clean and dry both sides of the knife edge before sharpening, following instructions for knife cleaning on
pages 13 thru 15.
NOTE:
The knife cover must be on during sharpening. The slicer will not start if the knife cover is removed.
