II. SLICER DESCRIPTION
The Model 350, 350XL electric produce slicer is designed to slice tomatoes,
oranges, peppers and other soft products into multiple slices with a single stroke. It
will slice produce up to 3-1/2 inches in diameter. The 350 slicer throat length is 4.25”,
while the 350 XL is 5.75”. The slicing of any hard, dense produce such as onions or
potatoes will void the warranty and will severely damage the blades and the pusher
fingers. The slicer is approved by the appropriate certifying organizations.
The slicer is manufactured of stainless steel and aluminum and it can be easily
disassembled for cleaning and/or maintenance.
NOTE: All slicers manufactured starting 2009 have the style pusher assembly
A1500 and use either the PI368 3/16”-3/8” Pusher Insert or PI014 1/4” Pusher
Insert. The insert is a plastic resin (lexan) design.

III. Operating Instructions
CAUTION: WITH POWER SWITCH OFF, CHECK TO BE SURE THAT PUSHER
SECURING KNOB IS TIGHT AND PUSHER FINGERS ARE CENTERED
BETWEEN THE BLADES THE FIRST TIME SLICER IS USED AND AFTER
CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE. FOR PUSHER ASSEMBLY ALIGNMENT AND
ADJUSTING PROCEDURE, SEE PAGE 9.
To operate the slicer, plug the power cord into a grounded outlet with the same
voltage as listed on the legend plate located on the side of the motor cover. Lift the
pusher assembly so that it rotates about its hinge point and raise it until the pusher
arms are vertical. Turn the on and off switch, located on the side of the motor cover,
to the on position. The slicer motor should not start. Place a tomato or any other
soft product that is to be sliced in the center of the bank of blades of the blade carrier
assembly, with the product to be sliced orientated in the desired direction.
WARNING: THE BLADES ARE VERY SHARP! BE SURE NOT TO TOUCH THE
CUTTING EDGE OF THE BLADES.
1. Lower the pusher assembly toward the blades. The slicer motor will start
when the pusher reaches a pre-set distance
from the blades. Keep lowering the pusher
assembly until the pusher fingers contact the
product to be sliced and continue the
downward motion using a very light downward
force until the product is completely sliced.
(See Figure 1).
Lift the pusher assembly to its original
position. The slicer motor will stop and
another product can be placed on the blades
and the slicing process can be repeated.
The pre-set activation distance can be adjusted by loosening the thumb screw,
on the side of the pusher head, and rotating the metal cam. Retighten thumb
screw once desired activation height is achieved.
WARNING: NEVER FORCE PUSHER ASSEMBLY DOWN. USE A LIGHT
DOWNWARD PRESSURE ONLY OR BLADES AND PUSHER FINGERS WILL
BECOME DAMAGED.

Wash the pusher assembly, the cover and the blade carrier assembly in mild soap
and water or in a dishwasher. The rest of the slicer can be wiped off using a damp
cloth.
WARNING: NEVER SUBMERGE OR PLACE ENTIRE ELECTRIC SLICER OR
MOTOR HOUSING IN WATER.
1. To assemble equipment after
cleaning, turn the cam assembly until
the top pin is toward the front of the
slicer and install the blade carrier in
place, making sure that plastic feet
are on the rails and that the drive
mount pins are engaged in the holes
of the drive links. Slide the cover in
place and line up the holes in the
cover with holes in the support plate.
Also make sure that the cover
interlock pin, located on the inside of
the cover, is aligned with the hole in
the interlock switch bracket. Install
the pusher assembly in place by
inserting the pins of the pusher mount
through the holes in the cover into the
holes in the support place. Start the
pusher retaining screw and leave the
screw loose. Lower the pusher
assembly until the pusher fingers
engage the space between the
blades, center the cover and tighten
the pusher retaining screw. (See
Figure 6)
WARNING: MAKE SURE THE
PUSHER FINGERS DO NOT
CONTACT THE BLADES. BLADES
AND PUSHER FINGERS WILL BE
DAMAGED IF SLICER MOTOR IS
STARTED WITH THE PUSHER
FINGERS IN CONTACT WITH THE BLADES OR USED WHEN MISALIGNED.
2. The set of blades can be replaced if the blades become dull. It is recommended
that all the blades be replaced at the same time because they may stretch during
use, and replacement of only a few blades may cause the old blades to be loose
when the blade-holders are tightened.

3. The set of blades must be kept tight in order to function properly. Check the
blade tension of all the blades by turning the blade carrier assembly over with the
blade-cutting surface down. Run your fingers across the back of the set of
blades, one at a time, the blades should "ring" and have a similar sound. If any of
the blades appear to have a dull sound, contact your authorized service station.
NOTE: If for any reason the Model 350, 350XL Slicer does not function properly,
consult the trouble-shooting guide for assistance or call the factory or your local
service center.

Pusher Assembly Alignment Check and Procedure
1. With the unit unplugged and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and the
pusher assembly mounted to the unit check the alignment of the pusher
fingers to the blades. The pusher fingers should be centered in the spaces
between the blades. If they are not follow step 2 below.
2. Locate the alignment adjusting screws shown in figure 7. Determine which
direction the pusher should rotate by observing where the pusher fingers align
in between the blades. Using a small standard screwdriver you can turn the
appropriate screw to rotate the pusher left or right. When adjusting a screw
inward the opposing screw must be turned outward or loosened first. Center
the pusher fingers and tighten the opposing screw. See figure 8 below. Check
alignment again after tightening and adjust again if needed.
NOTE: Proper alignment is critical to the functioning of the slicer and will help
ensure longevity of blades and pusher inserts. If blades or pusher assembly is
changed perform an alignment before use.

Pusher Assembly Actuator Cam AC002 Adjustment
The Pusher Assembly includes an easy adjustment for the triggering of the slicer blades
to start operating. This can be adjusted for a particular size of food product you are
slicing by having the slicing blades start operating earlier or later as the pusher is
lowered down to slice food product. Adjustment does not require the use of any tools. A
knurl screw has been provided for this and can be loosened and tightened by hand. The
knurl screw is also captivated on the pusher assembly to avoid accidental loss. To
adjust the actuator cam follow the procedure below. Proper adjustment of the actuator
cam helps ensure that the pusher fingers are in contact with the food product before the
blades start operating. When adjusted properly the food product will be held firmly while
being sliced providing the best slice possible. Follow procedure below and see Figure 9.
1. With the unit unplugged and the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and the
pusher assembly mounted to the unit you can begin to make the actuator cam
adjustment. To adjust for slicing larger food product loosen the knurl screw by
hand and rotate the actuator cam AC002 down as needed. This will cause the
slicing blades to start operating sooner as the pusher is lowered onto the food
product. This also captures the larger food product properly between the pusher
insert fingers and blades. You can hear the actuator switch engage by listening
for the “click” sound as the pusher is lowered.
2. To adjust for slicing smaller food product loosen the knurl screw by hand and
rotate the actuator cam AC002 up as needed. This will cause the slicing blades
to start operating later as the pusher is lowered onto the food product. This also
captures the smaller food product properly between the pusher insert fingers and
blades. You can hear the actuator switch engage by listening for the “click” sound
as the pusher is lowered.
