best when the material is pushed firmly against it. NEVER force a diamond blade, let the blade do the work.
Cutting speed depends on the type of blade you are using and the max RPM. Do not exceed the max RPM
of your specific blade. We recommend that you start with a lower speed and increase it until you reach an
effective cutting speed.
Your material that needs to be cut should normally not exceed 2/3 the size of the visible cutting area of the
blade. Some larger objects, such as bottles, can be cut by rotating the object against the blade. Exercise care
when cutting these larger objects as the blade can pull the object from your hand. e diamond saw blade
cuts hard material easier than soft material because soft material sometimes will clog up the microscopic
diamond particles.
As you near the end of your cut, reduce pressure on the material. By doing so, you will avoid a sudden “break-
through” and give your material a cleaner cut.
Preventative Maintenance
When your work is completed, turn off the switch and always unplug your slicer. Drain water from reservoir
and dry both your machine and blade with paper towels or cloth. Briefly turn on the slicer to spin dry
your blade thoroughly. Dry your slicer and blade after each use to prevent rusting. e slicer arbor and
the shaft it ts on are made from dierent material. Over time, they can galvanize together, making it
impossible to remove the arbor. Every 2 months or so, remove the arbor using the hexagonal wrench, turning
counterclockwise. Place a few drops of oil or grease on the shaft, rubbing to coat the shaft lightly. Replace
the arbor using the hexagonal wrench to tighten.
NEVER get oil or water down the shaft. If this happens, water can get into the motor and will cause the
motor to burn out.
NEVER pour used water down the drain as it can harden like cement and clog your drain.
Blade Positioning
Follow these steps to adjust the position of the metal shaft so you can prevent your blade from contacting the
table:
1) Remove the cutting table and loosen the two set screws using the hex wrench supplied with your slicer, so
that the shaft can slide side to side.
2) Replace the cutting table and position your blade so it’s not in contact with the cutting table. Your blade
should spin freely.
3) Rotate the blade so you can see a setscrew that will be exposed between the cutting table and the motor
cover. Tighten that screw with the hexagonal wrench then remove the cutting table to tighten the other
screw.
4) Replace the cutting table and rotate the blade again to make sure there is adequate clearance.
