MAINTENANCE WARNING ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE SLICER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY TYPE OF MAINTENANCE TASK. Cleaning Use a mild detergent solution to clean all exterior surfaces and empty the crumb tray daily or more often if necessary. Periodically remove both tables and the crumb chute and then brush, blow, (if compressed air is available), or wipe all foreign material from all surfaces, especially from moving parts.

Removing the Blade Frames (Continued) Always start by removing the discharge side blade frame first. Both blade frames should be removed from the discharge side of the machine. You should remove the discharge side blade frame completely from the machine before starting on the infeed side blade frame.
Page 16
CAUTION THE BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. ALWAYS HANDLE BLADE FRAMES WITH CARE. The blade frame can now be carefully lifted from the slicer. See below. The remaining blade frame can be removed in the same manner. 0777S20013...
Replacing the Blade Frames Replacement of the blade frames is done by reversing the removal procedures. Ensure That the feet of the blade frames rest snuggly on the swing shafts and that you have included the belleville washers with the eye bolts. NOTE WHEN INSTALLING THE BELLEVILLE WASHERS, THEY MUST BE PLACED SO THAT THE CROWN IS UP AS SHOWN IN THE ILLUSTRATION BELOW.
Changing the Blades CAUTION THE BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. ALWAYS HANDLE THEM WITH CARE. NOTE DO NOT INTERCHANGE THE TWO BLADE FRAMES. REPLACE THE BLADE FRAME TO THE SAME SIDE OF THE MACHINE AS IT WAS TAKEN FROM NOTE WHEN CHAINGING BLADES FIRST NOTE THE DIRECTION THE SHARPENED EDGES ARE FACING ON THE BLADE FRAME.
Page 19
Changing the Blades (Continued) The new knife can be installed by reversing the removal procedure. A paper clip can be used to hold the knife in position on the lower pin to ease installation. See the illustration below. NOTE WHEN REPLACING ALL THE KNIVES, ALWAYS REMOVE THE CENTER KNIVES FIRST AND WORK TOWARD THE ENDS.
Tightening the Belt CAUTION OVER-TIGHTENING THE DRIVE BELT MAY CAUSE BEARING OR MOTOR FAILURE. Remove the crumb tray from the slicer. Locate the adjustment nut at the lower end of the motor mounting plate, see below. Turn the adjustment nut clockwise with a wrench to increase tension on the drive belt.
Replacing the Belt Remove the infeed table, crumb chute, and discharge table. First remove the four black knobs securing the tables, (see the illustration below). In addition to the knobs the infeed and discharge tables are held in place by friction so pull the infeed table straight out and hard to separate them.
Adjusting the Blade Frames When Slices Vary in Thickness Remove the discharge table from the slicer. Loosen, but, do not remove the two locking cams which secure the blade frame to the swing shaft. Remove the plastic plug over the set screw in the fixed collar, see below.
Page 23
To adjust the eccentric, once the lock nut is loosened, rotate the pin using the wrench used to hold the pin. Rotate the pin, (it is possible that both pins will need adjustment at the same time), until the knives of the machine are in line within a 1/32 of an inch, (alternating blades should not appear be in front of or behind each other when viewed from the side).
