FREQUENT ADJUSTMENT OF THE GAS SPRING IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
The gas spring must be removed and relocated to adjust its force. To remove the gas
spring, see "Replacing the Gas Spring" above. There are two gas spring pins welded to
the frame. The pin furthest from the front of the machine, (the standard position), should
be used whenever possible. The standard position gives a gentle force at the beginning
of the slicing operation, (when it is most needed), which will allow the knives to start
cutting and prevent damage to the product. It also provides the most force at the end of

desired as the product is first entering the knives.

Using proper gas spring installation procedures, see "Replacing the Gas Spring"' above,
compress the spring and mount it on the desired pin. Secure it with a new clip.
