SHARPENING INSTRUCTIONS
This slicer is equipped with a knife having a concave or hollowed surface for superior slicing, of course,
any knife, however superior, must be sharpened regularly and properly in order to produce the highest
quality slices, but also to allow it to maintain its productivity. The knife sharpener for this machine is a top
mounted design. Since the sharpener is not exposed during the slicing operation, the stones remain free
of food contamination and in the best possible condition for sharpening.
Warning: The following sharpening procedure will provide high quality sharpening Results
and should be followed for safety considerations:
1 The blade should be cleaned and free from all grease and food remnants. Food particles and oils
will clog and impair the stones.
2 Turn the slicer OFF.
3 Adjust the Thickness control dial (Figure 1, [14]) to beyond the “0”. This will ensure that the blade
edge is not exposed to the operator.
4 Move the carriage all the way to the start position (closest to Thickness Control Dial).
5 Loosen the sharpener assembly lock knob (Figure 2 [1]).
6 Lift the sharpener and rotate 180
o
(Figure 2 [2]). Stones will align with the blade. The sharpening
stone will contact the blade.
7 Tighten the sharpener assembly lock knob to secure sharpener into position.
8 Turn the slicer ON. It is normal to see sparks from the underside of the blade as it is being
sharpened.
9 Run this for 1-2 minutes.
10 After 1-2 minutes, depress the button for the honing (Figure 2 [4]) for 3 seconds and release.
11 Turn the slicer OFF.
