NOTES:
1. When installing the BLADE CARRIER ASSEMBLY, slide it in from the left side of the slicer until it reaches the STOP. Hold it firmly
against the STOP and tighten the right THUMB SCREW. Then tighten the left THUMB SCREW and check the right one to be sure it
didn’t loosen. Tighten the THUMB SCREWS until they are snug, but DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
2. When installing PIVOT PIN, slide it in from the right side of the SLICER with the end having holes going in first. Tighten the
THUMB SCREW into the second hole. The first hole is a guide to help you position the PIVOT ROD in alignment with the THUMB
SCREW.
3. CAREFULLY lower the HANDLE to be sure the PUSH BLOCK passes through the BLADES without rubbing. If it rubs the BLADES,
find out why it rubs and correct the cause. (Possibly the BLADE CARRIER isn’t installed properly; or a blade may have been
damaged while being washed.) If the PUSH BLOCK had been removed, alignment with the BLADES may be required. Loosen all 4
SCREWS just enough to permit turning the PUSH BLOCK. It won’t turn much but it will be enough to adjust it to align (parallel) to
the BLADES without rubbing them. Then tighten the screws.
TO REPLACE A BLADE
1. Remove BLADE CARRIER ASSEMBLY from the slicer as described in TO CLEAN.
2. Loosen both hex nuts on the right end of the BLADE CARRIER ASSEMBLY.
3. Loosen the CLAMP SCREWS about 2 turns to release the clamping force on the BLADES.
4. Remove SCREWS and RETAINER PLATES.
5. Grip the BLADE to be removed with pliers and carefully lift it while holding down the SPACER ASSEMBLIES on both sides. (They
might tend to lift out with the blades.) SUGGESTION: Place cardboard over the BLADES and SPACER ASSEMBLIES and hold
them down with your hand on the cardboard while lifting the BLADE you wish to remove.
BE CAREFUL – BLADES ARE VERY SHARP!
6. Carefully place a new BLADE in position. Apply pressure (if needed) only at the ends of the BLADE which will be under the
RETAINERS. CLAMP SCREWS can be loosened additional turns if necessary to ease the insertion of the new BLADE.
7. Reassemble RETAINER PLATES using SCREWS.
8. Tighten CLAMP SCREWS and secure them by tightening the HEX NUTS.
NOTE: Lightly “strum” the BLADES (bottom side) after reassembling. They will have a “ringing sound” if the assembly is adequately
tightened. If there is no “ringing sound”, further tighten the CLAMP SCREWS.
NOTES:
1. If the BLADE CARRIER ASSEMBLY is to be totally disassembled as for cleaning, remove all BLADES. The BLADE BLOCKS,
SPACER ASSEMBLIES and the CLAMP PLATES can then be easily removed. (Alternative: Remove the CLAMP PLATES and the
other components can then be lifted out easily.)
2. When reassembling the BLADE CARRIER ASSEMBLY:
a) Tightly fasten two CLAMP PLATES to the left end (with the pin projecting upward) of the BLADE CARRIER and install a SCREW in
each until the head bears against the CLAMP PLATE.
b) Place a BLADE BLOCK against each CLAMP PLATE with the SCREW nesting in the larger hole and the BLADE BLOCK resting
against the sides of the BLADE CARRIER.
c) Place SPACER ASSEMBLY in the groove of BLADE CARRIER with the RETAINING ROD in the small hole in BLADE BLOCK and the
longest side of the SPACERS toward the top.
d) Place SPACER ASSEMBLY in the other groove of BLADE CARRIER with the longest side of the SPACERS down.
e)
Place one BLADE between the first and second SPACERS from each end; then install the rest of the BLADES between them.
f) Place BLADE BLOCKS in the BLADE CARRIER grooves with the RETAINING RODS nested in the hole.
g) Install the CLAMP PLATES on the end of the BLADE CARRIER.
h) Reassemble RETAINER PLATE using SCREWS. Tighten CLAMP SCREWS and secure them by tightening the HEX NUTS.
