to use the slicing knife
Your knife is suitable for slicing a variety of foods including cooked meat,
cooked poultry, bread, cakes, sandwiches, fruit and vegetables.
1 Make sure you are not pressing any of the switches.
2 Hold the blades by their handles and interlock together . With the cutting
edge facing downwards insert the blades into the knife body and push into
place .
3 With the food on a suitable cutting surface, place the blades onto the food.
4 Press the on/off switch and depress the safety switch simultaneously
(releasing either of the switches stops the cutting blades.).
5 Allow the knife to cut through the food. Use the knife by holding it in place,
do not use a cutting motion. The knife will cut automatically as required
either vertically or at an angle. When using the slicing knife the
blades should always be directed away from the operator.
6 When finished using the knife, press the eject button and withdraw the
blades from the knife body.
