Check again the complete machine. Only after having checked the machine

5. Sharpening the blade
In case the cutting result should no longer be satisfactory or the food products are
getting "beards", the blade has to be sharpened. There cannot be indicated a certain
period for sharpening as this depends on the time of operation and the kind of food products.
Pay attention to the fact that the blade has to be exchanged if the gap between blade edge
and the fixed protecting ring is more than 5 mm. According to security regulations further
sharpening of the blade it is not allowed when the gap is more than 5 mm.
The supplied sharpening device is loosening its effect. A further sharpening is forbidden.
In case it is necessary to exchange the blade this has to be done by a service technician.
5.1. Sharpening device
Every sharpening device is marked with the serial number of the machine. Only this
sharpening device may be used for sharpening.
Usage of other sharpening devices can cause serious injuries or damage the machine.
Never use another sharpening device.
The sharpening device is equipped with two fine sharpening stones, 1 stone for sharpening and 1 stone for
taking off the burr.
Never use the sharpening device on an uncleaned machine as the stones will then loose their efficiency. In
case this should happen anyway, clean the stones carefully with washing liquid and a brush.
5.2. How to proceed for sharpening
Important! Adjust the machine to manual carriage movement (see chapter 3.4.)
Take off all removable parts (see chapter 4.1.)
Attention! Risk of getting hurt!
Clean the machine carefully, as described in chapter 4.
Turn the carriage back. Tighten the star knob of the carriage. Put a beer mat or paper felt on the
carriage and cut a few strips (This way the fat will be totally removed from the blade edge).
Check again if the machine is adjusted to manual operation.
Pull the carriage completely to the front.
Remove the beer mat or paper felt.
Attention! Risk of getting hurt!
Lift up end piece holder
Mount the sharpening device in such a way to the
thickness plate that the cone of the sharpening device
fits into the slit on the bottom of the thickness plate
(direction of arrow)
Pull out the pin on top of the sharpening device in
direction of arrow and move the sharpening device
over the edge of the thickness plate.
Move the sharpening device with the pulled out pin to
the front in direction of the blade (direction of arrow), so
that the pin is engaged in the hole of the thickness
plate.
The sharpening stones are now in the correct position,
i.e. the blade edge is positioned between the two
sharpening stones.
