if the tool inserts easily into the slot the blade guide is worn excessively and may need to
be replaced. Check the blade guide along the entire length, especially in the region where
the food product has been passing across the guide.
CAUTION: The tool will not insert into a new blade guide. Do not force this tool into
the slot as damage to the guide may result.
Slot Depth Checking Tool
The "depth" wear checking tool (1028661) is for checking the depth of the blade guide slot
for excessive wear. Use the tool by inserting the blade of the tool into the slot until it
touches the bottom. If the notch in the tool inserts beyond the top edge of the blade guide
the blade guide slot is worn excessively and the blade guide may need to be replaced.
Check the blade guide along the entire length, especially in the region where the food
product has been passing across the guide.
Blade Guide Adjustment
The blade guide must be adjusted so the band blade runs smoothly through the entire length of the
slot in order to get good slice quality.
NOTE: Check the adjustment where the blade both enters and leaves the blade guide slot. Verify
that the blade is not too loose and does not contact the edges of the slot.
Use the following steps to adjust the blade guide.
1. Loosen the four mounting bolts for the blade guide.
2. Check the blade tracking to make sure that it is correct.
3. Verify that the welded joint of the blade is not in the blade guide slot and hand tighten the
blade guide mounting bolts.
4. (See Figure 9) Adjust the blade guide forward or backward until the blade clearance on one
end is between 0.001" and 0.010" (approximately 1/2 of the band blade thickness). Snug the
bolts on that end.
