Operator Instructions and Safety Information
All employees operating, servicing and cleaning this machine must be properly trained as to its
operation and safety features.
WARNING: The slicing Blade is sharp and dangerous. Keep hands out of the cutting
area. A severe cutting or abrasion injury could result. Do not operate
this machine without guards in place.
WARNING: The slicing Blade is sharp and dangerous. Never attempt to clear a
product jam with your hands. A severe cutting or abrasion injury could
result. To clear a product jam, turn the machine “OFF”, disconnect the
power supply, push forward on the Blade Brake to stop the Blade from
rotating and then clear the Chute using a flat instrument.
NOTE: Product can be removed easier by increasing the Blade cutting
height by turning the Large Black Knob [3] clockwise. (see Figure 1,
page 6)
WARNING: The Blade on the Model 270C Slicer will coast to a stop after the power
is switched to “OFF”. To prevent personal injury or possible damage to
the Slicer components, wait for the blade to stop completely before
making any adjustments. Blade can be stopped much quicker by
pushing forward on the Blade Brake.
IMPORTANT: It is imperative that the Slicer Blade is kept sharp and that the machine
is cleaned frequently. Slicing dense products or those with additives
such as raisins, nuts, or dried fruit chips may cause premature unit
wear or even failure if:
1) The Blade is not kept sharp.
2) The Slicer is not cleaned frequently.
3) The rate at which the product is fed into the Slicer is too great.
IMPORTANT: Safety and instructional labels are easily visible to the operator and
are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that
becomes damaged or worn.
WARNING: TURN THE MACHINE OFF AND DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY TYPE OF SERVICING, CLEANING,
MAINTENANCE OR INSPECTIONS.
The General Safety Practices listed on the following pages are recommended precautions
and not related to any specific procedures. Operators should understand and apply these
safety precautions during all phases of operation and maintenance.
