With the Gauge Plate fully closed, pull the Carriage all the way toward you until it reaches its stop. With
the Meat Grip out of the way, place the product to be sliced on the Carriage Tray. Adjust the fence by
loosening the thumb screw and sliding the fence so that it is close to the product but not pushing against
it. Tighten the thumb screw. Set the Meat Grip against the product. Always make sure the Lever
(Fig. 3) is in the Manual position (down) before starting the slicer.
If the Meat Grip is not needed, it may be stored out of the way by sliding it to the top of its travel, rotating
it under the Carriage Tray, and allowing it to rest in the Retaining Clip (Fig. 3).
Adjust the Gauge Plate by turning the Index Knob (Fig. 3) to obtain the desired slice thickness. The
numbers on the Index Knob do not indicate actual measurements but may be used for reference to
duplicate slice thickness. Turn the slicer on by pulling the Switch Knob (Fig. 3) forward until it starts
and then releasing it. Unless the Gauge Plate is opened before pulling the Switch Knob on, the slicer
will not continue to run when the Switch Knob is released.
Use either Carriage Tray Handle (Fig. 3) to push the Carriage back and forth to slice manually.
Turn the slicer off by pushing the Switch Knob or by closing the Gauge Plate.
To operate the slicer in Automatic mode . . .
Rotate the Speed Selector Knob (Fig. 3) to the desired
speed; make sure the Carriage is in H
OME
position (all the way forward); make sure the Lever (Fig. 3)
is on the Manual position (pointing down); turn the slicer on; start the carriage drive unit by rotating the
Lever to the Automatic position (up and to the right).
Any of the six speed selections can be used to begin Automatic mode. The speed can be adjusted at
any time by rotating the Speed Selector Knob.
To stop the drive unit, rotate the Lever down and to the left — to the Manual position.
To use the optional Food Chute, place the Meat Grip on the Retaining Clip, fit the hangers on the Food
Chute around the meat grip slide rod (at front), and lower the Food Chute onto the Carriage Tray.
