Maintenance
5
Replace the sharpener to normal horizontal position, by lifting the pin (item 7 ) and close the cover fig. 6.
The grinding stone (item 6 ) , fitted on its pin, can be easily removed, by just drawing it fig. 7. To get a nice
sharpening, the grinding stone must be clean and free of grease. The sharpening time depends on the wear of
the knife. To get a good result the time needed is 10 to 15 seconds. A longer sharpening reduce the duration of
the knife and gives no advantage. Wipe the slicer with a clean damp cloth to remove any grinding particles.

LUBRICATION
The rod on which the product holder slides, which is underneath the slicer, should be lubricated weekly with
several drops of oil. Stop the carriage at the end of the stroke nearest the operator and pour the lubricant into
the special oiler. DO NOT use vegetable oil. Occasionally, the slice thickness plate slide rod should be coated
lightly with lubricant. Turn the slice thickness control fully counterclockwise when lubricating this slide rod and
then turn it fully clockwise when finished. DO NOT lubricate the rod on which the last slice device slides. It
must be kept clean but not lubricated. The motor has sealed bearings and requires no lubrication maintenance.
WEAR ADJUSTMENT
After several years of operation and many sharpening of the blade it may become necessary to have the slice
thickness plate 14 adjusted closer to the blade.
