Operation:
1. The Tomato Slicer comes assembled and ready to use. You may want to install the TABLE
STOP for your convenience.
2. Pull HANDLE all the way toward you and carefully place the tomato on the SLIDE BOARD
between the PUSHER PLATES and the BLADES. CAUTION: SHARP BLADES
3. Withdraw your hand. With one quick motion, push the HANDLE toward the BLADES.
4. Remove the sliced tomato from the SLIDE BOARD and repeat the procedure for the next
tomato to be sliced.
Cleaning :
NOTE: Proper maintenance plays an important part in the life span and functioning of the unit.
1. Be careful of the sharp blades
2. To remove the PUSHER ASSEMBLY for cleaning, remove the THUMB SCREWS and the SLIDE
STOP and pull the PUSHER off the end of the SLIDE BOARD.
3. The SLIDE BOARD and the BLADE SHIELD can be removed by removing their mounting
screws.
4. To totally disassemble the PUSHER ASSEMBLY for cleaning, remove the acorn nut and hex
nuts on top of the stack and carefully remove the PUSHER PLATES and SPACERS. Remove
the other screws to disassemble the other parts from the GUIDE PLATE.
5. To re-assemble, reverse the procedure for dis-assembly.
NOTICE: After re-assembly, the BLADES must be retensioned
NOTICE: Always rinse the TOMATO SLICER in cold or lukewarm water after it has been
washed in hot water!
(Hot water will make the SLIDE BOARD expand and may make it hard to push the PUSHER
ASSEMBLY until the SLIDE BOARD returns to room temperature.)
Service Instructions:
1. When placing BLADES into the TENSION BLOCKS, place one TENSION BLOCK on the
worktable with the long groove turned up and the other TENSION BLOCK with the long
groove turned down. Insert the blade (sharp side down) in the end slot of each TENSION
BLOCK and push a TENSION ROD into each TENSION BLOCK and push a TENSION ROD
into each TENSION BLOCK just far enough to secure the BLADE. Insert another blade in the
next slot and push the TENSION ROD to secure it. Repeat until all BLADES are in place.
2. When placing BLADES into the BLADE HOLDER, be sure the sharp side of the BLADES are
pointing toward the caution warning on the BLADE HOLDER.
3. The BLADE KIT can be installed only one way; the mounting screw holes in the TENSION
BLOCKS nearest the end of the BLOCK must be down toward the SLIDE BOARD. (If sharp
edges of the BLADES point the wrong way, turn the BLADE KIT end for end.)
4. To secure the BLADE ASSEMBLY in the BLADE HOLDER install the (2) hex head screws
through the BLADE HOLDER and into the TENSION BAR at the end of the BLADE HOLDER
nearest the warning. Tighten these 2 screws finger tight or a little tighter. Then install the (2)
hex head screws loosely into the TENSION BAR at the other end of the BLADE HOLDER. (Do
not tighten the BLADES until after the BLADE HOLDER is mounted on the FRAME).
