PRODUCT USE AND CARE
•
Do not force the slicer. Slicers are safer and do a better job when used in the manner for which
they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.
•
Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the
product with a damaged part.
•
Do not use a product with a malfunctioning switch. Any power slicer that cannot be controlled with
the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative
before using.
•
Disconnect the power supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or off position
before removing blade, making any adjustments, changing accessories, cleaning or storing the
slicer. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the slicer accidentally.
•
Store the product when it is not in use. Store it unplugged in a dry, secure place out of the reach of
children. Inspect the slicer for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product.
Accessories that may be suitable for one slicer may create a risk of injury when used with another
slicer.
•
Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in place.
•
Do not leave the slicer running unattended.
