chute. Slice only boneless, unfrozen product with the slicer. Use the end weight to hold the food
product in place. If the end weight is not needed, it may be stored out of the way by lifting it up to
the highest position and lowering the end weight behind the food chute so the retaining pin rests on
the top of the food chute.

KNIFE SHARPENING
SHARP KNIFE BLADE
TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY:
•
•
•
•
NEVER touch rotating knife.
ALWAYS keep hands clear of all moving parts.
ALWAYS turn off slicer and turn slice thickness dial completely clockwise before sharpening.
NEVER sharpen slicer unless all guards are installed.
GENERAL
1. Symptoms of a dull knife are excess waste/or a “tail” on the unsliced portion remaining in the food
chute.
2. The knife needs to be sharpened periodically to provide consistent slices and maximum food
product yield. Sharpening the knife lightly every few days is more efficient than heavy sharpening
at less frequent intervals.
PREPARING TO SHARPEN
1. Turn slicer off by pressing the red stop button.
2. Clean and dry both sides of the knife before sharpening, following
instructions for knife cleaning on pages 11 through 13.
BE ALERT. The next step will expose the knife.
ALWAYS keep hands and arms away from exposed knife.
3. Turn the slice thickness dial counterclockwise until the table is
Figure 14-1
completely opened.
4. Push the food chute to the middle of the slicer and pull the endweight up
and position it in its resting position.
5. Make sure knob #1 on the sharpener is pushed in (Fig. 14-1).
6. Place the knife sharpener into position by inserting the pin on the sharpener
into the hole on the slicer table (Fig. 14-1 and Fig. 14-2).

KNIFE SHARPENING
7. Make sure the knife is between the 2 stones of the knife sharpener.
8. Rotate the sharpener knob completely clockwise to secure the sharpener to
the slicer table.
SHARPENING THE KNIFE
Figure 15-1
1. Pull out knob #1 (Fig. 15-1).
2. Turn knife motor on by pressing the green start button. Push knob #2
(Fig. 15-2) and maintain pressure on the knob for 10 seconds. Be sure both
stones are in contact with knife. Repeat operation until knife is sharp.
TURN OFF slicer before inspecting.
FINISH SHARPENING
Figure 15-2
When sharpening is finished, follow these procedures:
1. Turn the slicer off by pressing the red stop button. Unplug the power cord.
2. Push in knob #1. Rotate the sharpener knob completely counterclockwise and lift the sharpener
off the slicer.
3. If sharpening stones need to be cleaned, use soapy water and a brush. Dry stones afterwards.
4. Clean slicer as necessary using cleaning procedures listed on pages 11 through 13.
5. Plug in power cord.
NOTE: As the knife is sharpened and the diameter gets smaller, it is important to adjust the slicer table
inward toward the knife. The gap should be consistently 1/8” from knife.
