To ensure trouble-free operation of the slicing machine, the cutting blade must be always well-
sharpened. It should be taken into account that regular short sharpening of the cutting blade is
preferable over an extensive sharpening process.
Before starting such work, make sure that the knob with scale division is set to "0".
Sharpening is only suitable for blades with a smooth cutting edge. Serrated
blades for bread slicing machines must be sharpened by a specialist.
Only sharpen the cleaned and completely grease-free cutting blade, since
sharpening a cutting blade with food residues can damage both the grinding
device and its grinding wheels.
After sharpening, remove any dirt deposits from the grinding wheels. In addition, sand grains that
may adhere to the cutting blade or to the machine must be removed using a cloth soaked with
some alcohol.
6.1 Sharpening the blade
1) Clean the blade on both sides with the stop plate closed (knob A in the 0 position or beyond).
2) Switch off the machine and turn the slice thickness selector A to the left all the way to the stop
(maximum open position).
3) Attach the grinder to the stop plate.
Only supplied grinders and grinders of same type may be used.
To attach, pull the food carriage on the food carriage arm "B" completely towards the operator
and fold up the remnant holder "C". Fully unscrew the black knob of the supplied grinder. Guide
the threaded end that is now becoming visible from the food carriage side through the hole on
the upper edge of the stop plate and screw the grinder with the knob such that the edge of the
grinder rests on the upper edge of the stop plate.
4) Switch on the slicing machine. Using a slight clockwise rotation of the slice thickness selector,
pull the grinding wheel to the rotating blade carefully and with little effort. The contact must be
made in such a way that the grinding wheel rotates. A few seconds are typically enough to
sharpen the blade.
5) After sharpening, switch off the slicing machine, remove the grinding device in the reverse order
and reset the slice thickness selector to "0".
6) Thoroughly clean the blade and the remnant holder shaft of adhering grinding chips with a
cloth.
Sharpening of the cutting blade may only be carried out by authorised and trained
personnel.
Never clean the cutting blade while the machine is in operation (i.e., while the
cutting blade is running).
The blade can no longer be sharpened if the wear of the blade diameter is more
than 6 mm.
