DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS
Description
The Model 738 Mini Chip Slicer is a compact, countertop slicer designed to reprocess

product. Designed with reciprocating blade technology, the Mini Chip Slicer easily slices
through day-old bagels and baguettes.
The Model 738 Mini Chip Slicer is constructed of stainless and painted steel. Easy to

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.
REMOVING THE BLADE CARTRIDGE
1. Loosen the (2) two thumb screws on the outside of the machine, tip the cover
assembly back as shown in figure A. Lift the cover props on each side of the
frame securely hold the cover open as shown in figure B.

2. Loosen and remove the (4) thumbscrews atop the post hold down blocks (Fig. A)
and adjust the drive assembly so that the blade frame cartridge is in the closed
position as shown below (Fig. B). This is done by turning the knob on the drive
assembly so that the channels on the blade frames are close together.
NOTE: The protective blade cover will only fit on the cartridge when it is in the closed
configuration. This helps with the cleaning and re-assembly processes.
Figure A
Figure B
CAUTION
USE CAUTION WHILE ADJUSTING THE DRIVE ASSEMBLY. THE BLADES ARE
EXPOSED AND VERY SHARP.

3. Place the protective blade cover atop the blade cartridge by hooking the cover
around the pin plate near the drive assembly.
4. Lay the cover down on top of the blade cartridge and fasten with the thumb
screw to the blade cartridge by threading the thumb screw into the hole provided.

0738S20018 6-4
5. To remove the protected blade frame cartridge simply grip the front of the
assembly and the tab provided on the cover and pull up.
WARNING
NEVER REMOVE BLADE FRAME ASSEMBLY WITHOUT PROTECTIVE GUARD.
BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP AND IF HANDLED INCORRECTLY MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
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.

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.
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.
You can now replace the post hold down blocks that you set aside in step 5.
9. Remove the protective blade cover by loosening the thumb screw and unhooking
from the pin plate.
NOTE: The cover assembly will not fit on the unit if the protective blade cover is left in
place.

0738S20018 6-7
10. Lower the cover assembly by placing one hand on the front of the cover and
placing both of the cover props in their closed position. Gently lower the cover
assembly until it stops.
11. Lastly, after the cover has been lowered into position firmly tighten all thumb
screws around the perimeter of the unit.
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.

0738S20018 6-8
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.
