Failure to hold the product firmly in
place on the product holder could
cause the machine to cut uneven
slices.
xTurn the knob (13) in order to set the
required slice thickness.
xBring the product holder (4) (with the
product) back from its limit of travel
(towards the blade) using either the
handwheel (12) or the fast forward lever
(11).
Draw the product holder (4) closer to
the blade so as to leave a space
between the product to be sliced and
the blade of between 0.5 cm and 1.0
cm.
4.3 - SLICING THE PRODUCT
xMove the blade guard (9) to the left by
loosening the knob (9a).
WARNING:
Exercise great caution if the
blade guard (9) is not fitted; the
blade (16) is extremely sharp.

flywheel (7) clockwise in order to begin
blade rotation and the alternating
movement of the product holder (4)
(fig. 17).
Failure to hold the product firmly in
place on the product holder could
cause the machine to cut uneven
slices.
xTurn the knob (13) in order to set the
required slice thickness.
xBring the product holder (4) (with the
product) back from its limit of travel
(towards the blade) using either the
handwheel (12) or the fast forward lever
(11).
Draw the product holder (4) closer to
the blade so as to leave a space
between the product to be sliced and
the blade of between 0.5 cm and 1.0
cm.

DO NOT turn the flywheel (7)
anticlockwise.
Serious damage to the slicer
could be caused.
xYou will need to turn the flywheel (7)
4/5 times before the product touches
the blade (16).
xWhilst the carriage (5) moves forward
(away from the operator), the blade (16)
enters the product.
Guided by the deflector (2), the slice is
detached and drops onto the slice
receiving surface (1).
xAs the carriage (5) returns (towards the
operator), a mechanical device is
operated that moves the product holder
(4) sideways towards the blade (16).
The amount of sideways movement is
set by using the slice thickness control
knob (13).
xYou should stop turning the flywheel
(7) once the operation is complete; the
blade will halt its movement (16).
xMove the product holder (4) (with the
remaining product) away from the
blade (16) using either the handwheel
(12) or the fast forward lever (11).
