OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
ALWAYS USE CARE WHENEVER WORKING NEAR THE CUTTING KNIVES.
To operate the machine, stand in front of the machine and grasp the lever with your right
hand. Pull the lever from its lowest position to the upper limit of its travel. Using your left
hand, load the product into the machine.
WARNING
NEVER
START THE MACHINE BEFORE LOADING THE PRODUCT.
Make sure that the product does not hang over either edge of the cradle. While holding
the lever in the upper-most position, (the machine will not start unless this is done),
push the START button with your left hand.
NOTE
ONCE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN STARTED, THE MACHINE CAN BE
STOPPED BY PUSHING THE “STOP” BUTTON.
After starting, move the lever downward slowly until the product contacts the knives.
Once the product has contacted the knives move the handle down using moderate force
to slice the bread.
CAUTION
EXCESSIVE DOWNWARD FORCE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS DAMAGE
TO THE MACHINE OR PRODUCT MAY RESULT.
When the slicing operation is complete, and the handle is at its lowest position, the
machine will automatically stop. The cradle will stay in the upper most position so that
both hands can be used to grasp the sliced product and remove it from the top of the
cradle. The product can then be moved to the bagging scoop mounted on the front of
the machine which will ease packaging of your product.

ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SLICER WHEN ADJUSTING OR SERVICING.
•Slices Vary In Thickness:
NOTE
IN ONLY THREE SITUATIONS SHOULD IT BECOME NECESSARY TO
ADJUST THE BLADE FRAMES FOR A VARIANCE IN SLICE THICKNESS.
1. IF THE BLADE FRAME GUIDE BARS BECOME LOOSE ALLOWING
THE FRAME TO MOVE.
2. IF THE BLADE FRAMES WERE REMOVED FROM THE MACHINE
AND REPLACED IN OPPOSITE POSITIONS.
3. THE BLADE FRAMES ARE BEING REPLACED WITH A DIFFERENT
SET OF BLADE FRAMES, SUCH AS IN A CONVERSION TO A
DIFFERENT SLICE WIDTH.
To correct the variance in slice thickness, remove the front and top covers which are
each held in place with four screws.
NOTE
A TABLE LIP IS ATTACHED BETWEEN THE TOP COVER AND THE
INFEED TABLE BY FRICTION, A SLIGHT PULL MAY BE REQUIRED
TO DISLODGE IT.
Next remove the lower screw from the holddown pivot block on each side of the
machine, also loosen the upper screw of the pivot block, but, do not remove it. When
this has been done you will be able to pivot the holddown out of the knives to allow
removal of the blade frames. Next remove the shoulder screw from the foot of the top
blade frame, (the blade frame is connected to the rocker through a pivoting link on the
foot of the blade frame). Once disconnected the top blade frame can be removed by
sliding the frame forward out of the tracks.
WARNING
ALWAYS USE CARE WHENEVER WORKING NEAR THE CUTTING KNIVES.

MODEL 709 MINI SUPREME BREAD SLICER
0709S20029-2
•Slices Vary In Thickness: (Cont’d.):
At this point check the side to side movement of the lower blade frame: it should be at
the minimum which still allows free travel in the tracks. If the side to side movement
seems satisfactory check the centering of the frame. The distance from the side of the
blade frame to the machine’s side should be as close as possible to the same distance
on each side.
Should either of the above two situations need correction loosen the four nuts, two on
each side, which secure the lower blade frame guide bars, (they are accessible from the
underside of the blade frame). Once loosened, the blade frame can be centered in the
machine, making sure that the guide bars are as far into the tracks as they will go, thus
limiting side to side movement. When the bars are as far into the tracks as reasonably
possible and the blade frame is centered in the machine, re-tighten the nuts. Re-check
the blade frame for proper centering, side to side movement and ease of travel.
When the lower blade frame has been found to be in its proper position, or, corrected to
the proper position, (if that was required), as described previously, re-install the upper
blade frame. Replace the shoulder screw and link at the foot of the blade frame,
replacing and tightening the nut and lock washer which secure the shoulder screw.
Check the distance between any three adjacent blades using a 12 inch or shorter ruler.
the outside blades should be the same distance from the center blade. If this is the case
the slices will be the same thickness, if the distance varies then the upper blade frame
must be adjusted side to side until the measured distances are equal.
To adjust the upper blade frame loosen the four nuts, (two on each side), which secure
the blade frame guide bars. Once loosened the blade frame can be adjusted by moving
it slightly either right or left in the machine until the distances as measured above are
equal. Make sure the guide bars are as far into the tracks as they will go to limit side to
side movement. When the bars are as far into the tracks as possible and the blade
spacing is equal, re-tighten the nuts. Re-check the blade frame for proper spacing, side
to side movement and ease of travel.
Rotate the holddown back into the knives. Replace and secure the four mounting
screws of the pivot blocks and replace the front and top covers securing each with the
four screws which were previously removed.
•Limit Switch and Actuating Flag Adjustment:
After disconnecting the slicer from the power supply, remove the rear cover from the
machine allowing access to the limit switch area.
•Limit Switch and Actuating Flag Adjustment (Cont’d.):

MODEL 709 MINI SUPREME BREAD SLICER
0709S20029-3
The actuating flag should trip the lower limit switch when the cradle handle is at the top
of its travel. The upper limit switch should be actuated when the cradle handle is at the
bottom of its travel. The tripping point of a limit switch can be detected by an internal
clicking sound made by the switch. Before attempting to adjust the flag or switches
make sure that the switch levers have not been bent, or, the switch otherwise damaged,
or, that the actuating flag is not just loose on the shaft.
Should switch adjustment be necessary they should be adjusted so that they are tripped
during normal movement of the cradle handle just before either end of the handle’s
travel.
To adjust either of the limit switches or the actuating flag, use the following procedure.
Loosen the set screw in the actuating flag allowing it to rotate easily on the shaft. With
the cradle handle in its upper most position, loosen both of the screws securing the
lower limit switch. Once loosened move the switch until it is approximately in the center
of its travel and re-tighten the switch. Move the loosened actuating flag into the lower
switch lever until you hear it trip. Tighten the flag’s set screw. Re-check the operation of
the switch using the cradle handle. It should function as described above.
Should the upper limit switch need adjustment, (after setting the lower switch as
described above), loosen the two screws which secure it in position and with the cradle
handle in its lowest position move the switch into the flag until you hear it trip. Re-tighten
the screws and re-check the switch operation as before.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SLICER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY TYPE
OF MAINTENANCE TASK.
•Removing Blade Frames:
Remove the top and front covers by removing the four screws which holds each in place.
The table lip should be removed with the top cover.
NOTE
A TABLE LIP IS ATTACHED BETWEEN THE TOP COVER AND THE
INFEED TABLE BY FRICTION, A SLIGHT PULL MAY BE REQUIRED
TO DISLODGE IT.
Next remove the lower screw from the holddown pivot block on each side of the
machine, also loosen the upper screws of the pivot blocks but do not remove them.
When this has been done you will be able to pivot the holddown out of the knives to
allow removal of the blade frames.
Remove the upper blade frame by removing the shoulder screw from the foot of the
blade frame, (the blade frame is connected to the rocker by means of a plastic link at the
“Foot” of the blade frame). Once the shoulder screw and link have been removed the
blade frame can be slid forward and removed from the tracks and from the machine.
WARNING
THE BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. ALWAYS HANDLE THE
BLADE FRAMES WITH CARE.
To remove the lower blade frame, (see note below), you must first remove the four
screws from the infeed table. While this table does not have to be removed from the
machine it must be moved down out of the way to allow removal of the lower blade
frame.
NOTE
REMOVAL OF THE LOWER BLADE FRAME IS NOT REQUIRED TO
CHANGE ITS BLADES.

MODEL 709 MINI SUPREME BREAD SLICER
0709S20030-2
•Removing Blade Frames (Cont’d.):
The final step is to remove the shoulder screw from the foot of the blade frame. Once
the shoulder screw is removed the link can be disconnected and moved out of the way.
This will allow removal of the lower blade frame.
•Replacing Blade Frames:
To replace the blade frames, reverse the removal procedures, (described above). Re-
install both blade frames and check for slice thickness variances. If the spaces between
all blades are not the same see the “Adjustment” section of this manual. If the spacing
is equal, if there is little side to side movement of the blade frames and they move freely
in the tracks, re-connect the links at the foot of each blade frame by re-installing the
shoulder screw. Replace the lockwasher and nut on each shoulder screw and tighten
securely.
Replace the infeed table and secure it in position by installing its four screws. Rotate the
holddown back into the knives and replace and/or tighten their mounting screws.
Replace the table lip making sure it does not rub on the sides of the blades where the
blades pass thorough it. Lastly replace the top and front covers securing them in place
using the four screws previously removed from each.

•Changing Blades:
WARNING
BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. ALWAYS HANDLE WITH CARE.
Remove and place the Upper blade frame on a flat surface, (see blade frame removal
section). Insert the special knife tool into the blade frame, (See Illustration). Lifting up
on the knife tool will deflect the blade mount, reducing tension on the cutting knife.
Carefully remove the cutting knife from the blade mount.
NOTE
REMOVAL OF THE LOWER BLADE FRAME IS NOT REQUIRED TO
CHANGE ITS BLADES.
NOTE
WHEN REPLACING ALL THE BLADES, ALWAYS REMOVE THE CENTER
BLADES FIRST AND WORK TOWARDS THE ENDS. REMOVE AND INSTALL
ONE BLADE AT A TIME, NEVER REMOVE ALL THE BLADES AT ONCE
AND THEN ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THEM ALL AT ONCE.

MODEL 709 MINI SUPREME BREAD SLICER
0709S20030-4
•Changing Blades (Cont’d.):
Reverse the procedure to install replacement blades. A paper clip can be used to hold
the blade in position on the fixed blade mount during blade installation. (See Illustration)
The blades can be removed and replaced from the lower blade frame while it is in the
machine. Use the same tool and similar procedures as described in removing an
replacing blades from the upper blade frame.
Upon completion of the blade changes re-install and secure all parts removed, (refer to
the blade frame removal section above).
•Lubrication:
The blade frame tracks, the four shoulder screws at the links connecting the blade frame
and the rocker and the cradle guide tracks have been lubricated at the factory. Twice a
year, or, sooner if they become dry, the above areas should be greased with a food
approved grease.
•Cleaning:
Use a mild detergent solution to clean the exterior and contact surfaces. Empty the
crumb tray daily or as necessary. Periodically remove all covers and brush, vacuum or
blow, (if compressed air is available), all foreign material from all surfaces, especially the
moving parts.
