5.3. SHARPENING OF BLADE
WARNING: Before proceeding with blade sharp-
ening, remain alert to the RESIDUAL RISKS (see
§1.2.2) that refer to the hazard of injury if the in-
structions below are not followed.
The blade must be sharpened periodically and as
soon as it becomes blunt; the following detailed in-
structions are to be carried out:
• clean the blade accurately with alcohol to remove
grease after the plug has been disconnected from
the socket;
• unscrew the knob (1), lift (a) the sharpener (2) up
to the locking position and rotate it 180°(b) (see
FIG. n°9 a).
Then let it move to the end (c) so that the blade is
positioned between the two grinding moles. Lock
the knob;
• switch-on the slicer by pushing the button “I” (ON);
• push the small button (3) (see FIG. n°9 b), let the
blade rotate against the grinding mole for 30-40
sec. to produce burr on the blade edge;
• push buttons simultaneously for 3-4 seconds (3
and 4) and the leave them simultaneously (see
FIG. n°9 c);
• it is recommended to clean the grinding moles by
following the sharpening (see § 6.2.3);
• once sharpening has been completed, return the
slice to its original setting with the reverse pro-
cedure.
NOTE: Do not prolong the burring operation beyond
3-4 sec. in order to prevent the dangerous twisting
of the blade cutting edge.
