Preparing to Slice
Caution: Avoid personal contact with the blade edge. Serious injury can result.
1. Before using the slicer for the first time, we recommend that you clean it thoroughly (see page 9).
2. Place assembled slicer on a sturdy, clean and dry surface. Position slicer so food carriage (5) is to
your right and thickness control knob (1) is in front of you on your life. Be sure the blade guard (3a)
is correctly mounted. Thickness control knob should be in the fully clockwise (beyond the “zero”)
position. Make certain the food carriage is securely tightened in place. If it is loose tighten the two
thumb screws (8) under the carriage (5). Before tightening the thumb screws, pull the carriage
toward you and away from the blade.
3. Place the food on the carriage insuring that it is placed firmly against the back wall of the carriage
(5). Hold the food in place with the food pusher (6). For extra large foods, such as briskets or slab
bacon, their length may have to be reduced to fit on the carriage, as food should not touch the blade
before starting to slice.
Operating the Slicer
1. Plug cord only into 120V three
prong grounded AC outlet. Do not
use a 3 to 2 prong adapter.
2. Hold the long handle of the food
pusher (6a) with the right hand
with the thumb behind the back
wall of the carriage as shown in
Figure 5.
3. To start the blade, turn on the
power with your left hand by
depressing the Power Switch (2a)
and then the Safety Switch (2b),
see Figure 3.
4. Set the Thickness Control Knob (1)
initially to a thin setting. Make
a slice and then adjust to your
desired thickness.
Figure 5. Keep hands behind guards when slicing.
