DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS
Description
The Model 738-V Mini Chip Slicer is a compact, countertop slicer designed to reprocess
shrink - specifically bagels and baguettes - into a marketable bakery/foodservice
product. Designed with reciprocating blade technology, the Mini Chip Slicer easily slices
through day-old bagels and baguettes.
The Model 738-V Mini Chip Slicer is constructed of stainless and painted steel. Easy to
clean, the Mini Chip Slicer food contact surfaces - infeed cover, pusher, handle, and

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SLICER BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY TYPE OF MAINTENANCE TASK.
To prepare your unit for cleaning please refer to the pictorial below for step by step
instructions.
1. Remove the thumb screw atop of the front guard and remove the guard. Once
the guard is removed use a mild cleaning solution on all surfaces to remove any
residue or crumb build up (FIG A). Also, with the brush provided, remove any
crumbs and/or residue that have accumulated within the slots of the front blade
guide (FIG B). The guard can now be set aside.
Figure A
Figure B

0738S20031 6-2
WARNING
NOW THAT THE FRONT GUARD HAS BEEN REMOVED, THE SLICING BLADES
WILL BE EXPOSED. USE CAUTION WHEN MOVING ON TO THE NEXT STEP.
2. With the handle in the up position, insert the quick pin through the slot in the
chute into the hole on the slide block. This will keep the slide block attached and
allow for easy reassembly. Remove the pusher bracket by removing the (2) two
thumbscrews on the front of the block. Use damp rag to wipe away any debris
from the pusher bracket.
3. Loosen the (2) two thumb screws on the sides of the unit near the front and lift
the cover. Use the cover props to secure the cover in the upright position.

0738S20031 6-3
4. Place the safety cover on the blade cartridge by first hooking it around the pin
plate on the rear of the cartridge (FIG A). Now proceed to lay the cover down
and fasten it with the screw provided on the cover (FIG B). Remove the (4) post
hold down blocks and set aside (FIG C).
Figure A Figure B
Figure C
NOTE: The protective blade cover will only fit on the cartridge when it is in the closed
position. This helps with the cleaning and re-assembly processes. Use the knob on the
drive assembly to make the adjustment to the closed position.

0738S20031 6-4
NOTE: Now that the safety cover has been placed this is a good time to brush crumbs
from the blades. Using the brush provided, gently brush between the blades from the
underside of the slicing area.
WARNING
ONLY CLEAN THE SLICING BLADES FROM THE BOTTOM. CLEANING THEM
FROM THE TOP WILL DAMAGE THE BRUSH AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE INJURY.
REMOVING THE BLADE CARTRIDGE
5. Now that the blade cover is placed and the post hold down blocks are removed
you can now remove the blade cartridge from the unit by lifting up on the tab at
the rear end of the blade cover.
WARNING
NEVER REMOVE BLADE FRAME ASSEMBLY WITHOUT PROTECTIVE GUARD.
BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP AND IF HANDLED INCORRECTLY MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.

0738S20031 6-5
CLEANING
Now that the blade frames have been safely removed you can now proceed with
removing any crumb deposits within the machine. A brush, compressed air, or a
vacuum are helpful tools for this task.
REPLACING THE BLADE CARTRIDGE
6. Make sure that the drive assembly is in the correct position as shown below.
NOTE: The blade cartridge will only fit back into the machine with the drive assembly in
the correct configuration below. The Bearing holes need to be at the position nearest
each other.
CORRECT INCORRECT
7. With the protective blade guard in place locate the center of the bearings in the
drive assembly with the pin plates attached to the blade cartridge.

0738S20031 6-6
8. Once the drive assembly has been located, place the blade cartridge posts in the
tracks on the base assembly. Apply slight pressure to the front and rear of the
blade cartridge to ensure the proper fit in to the drive assembly and slide blocks.
9. You can now replace the post hold down blocks that you set aside in step 5.
NOTE: The cover assembly will not fit on the unit if the protective blade cover is left in
place.
CHANGING THE BLADES
Oliver Packaging and Equipment suggests that blades not be changed in the field due to
the potential for injury. We offer a blade frame cartridge exchange program for when
blades become dull. Please contact your dealer or the Oliver service department.
10. Use the brush provided to remove any crumbs and/or residue from the rear blade
guide.
11. You can now wipe down the entire interior surface of the infeed chute using a
mild cleaning solution.
NOTE: Be aware that product may build up at the bottom of the slots on the infeed
chute. If so, use a wet rag to remove it.

0738S20031 6-7
12. Remove the safety cover from the blade cartridge by loosening the screw and
unhooking it from the pin plate at the rear of the cartridge.
NOTE: Make sure that when the safety cover is not in use that it has a designated area
to be stored. This will help with misplacement and potentially loosing the cover.
13. With one hand on the front of the cover, disengage the cover props and slowly
lower the cover into the closed position. Secure the cover by tightening the (2)
two thumb screws near the front of the unit.
NOTE: The cover will not fully close if the protective blade cover is left in place.
CAUTION
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE COVER BE SLOWLY LOWERED INTO POSITION SO
THAT THE BLADE GUIDE RETURNS TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION. IF NOT,
SERIOUS DAMAGE COULD BE DONE TO THE SLICING BLADES.
14. Once the cover has been securely fastened, you can now replace the pusher
bracket by placing it on the two studs that are attached to the slide block.

0738S20031 6-8
15. Now that the pusher has been attached to the slide block, grab the handle with
your left hand and remove the quick pin by pulling on the ring (Fig A). The pin
can then be placed in the hole on the flange atop the chute (Fig B).
Figure A Figure B
16. Lastly, carefully replace the front guard by making sure the slots on the front
blade guide line up with the slicing blades. Fasten the guard to the cover by
tightening down the thumb screw.

0738S20031 6-9
LUBRICATION
WARNING
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE SLICER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING ANY TYPE OF MAINTENANCE TASK.
Oliver suggests a vegetable based aerosol product be used to gently coat the blades on
occasion. Once a month put a drop of a food approved lubricant on the plastic slide
blocks on the inside of the unit. This will increase the longevity of the internal parts of
your slicer.
NOTE
NEVER OIL OR GREASE THE MOTOR.
GENERAL CLEANING
Use a mild detergent solution to clean the exterior surfaces. Periodically remove all
covers and brush or blow, (if compressed air is available), all foreign material from all
surfaces, especially moving parts.
