OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL 135
READ CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
MACHINE
A Safety Note:
Your good manufacturing practices should insure that a written safety program is in place, which
includes the assessment of all processes that take place in house, for potential risks.
The employer response to this assessment is to establish specific instructions for the safe use of all
machines, safe use of certain chemicals, etc. in your work place.
For instance, any user of electrical machinery, SLICE® included, must be instructed that never,
under any circumstances, should a machine be left on while attempting to clear a jam , if it should
occur.
This written rule, along with other directives, should be translated into either a training document
that is signed or work instruction that is also signed and dated by all operators and that ideally
remains with the equipment as a reminder of safe operation.

Page 13: Set Up
5.0 Set Up Place your SLICE® machine on a clean, flat, sturdy work surface. Plug machine into a standard 110V outlet, unless your machine is designed for 220V; then act accordingly. Position the machine’s front edge even with the edge of the worktable on which it’s placed. - Page 14 5.1 Load The Product: Load the product you’re cutting by centering the spool on the reel-mounting bar.

Page 19: Batch Sequence Pause Feature
10.0 Batch Sequence Pause Feature Since a batch sequence program may contain as many as ten (10) different batches, the machine will stop in between each batch. If the feature is not selected, the machine will run out all batches into the same container. - Page 20 Press the appropriate numerical key to transfer to the desired programming. Or if you do not wish to make a change, once you have pressed one of these numbers, simply press the “CLEAR” button. 11.1 Calibration (displays as no. 1) The unit comes calibrated from the factory.
- Page 21 11.1 Calibration Continued The issue of calibration is a complex one. Different insulating materials may have different slip rates. As such, a machine calibrated to run one type of wire and insulation may be calibrated for a different type of wire and insulation. Heat shrink tubing and various types of flexible tubing are susceptible to stretching.
- Page 22 11.6 No Wire Stop (displays as no. 5) The machine uses conduction between the stainless steel drive wheel and the stainless steel idler wheel to establish that there is no longer any material to cut. If the wheels are in contact with each other, the machine rightly assumes that there is nothing to cut and shuts down.
- Page 23 11.9 Notes Of Interest The machine has also been calibrated for length using standard flat ribbon cable. Some wear will occur overtime with the standard poly wheels and you may find it advisable to recalibrate the machine from time to time depending on its use. When calibrating the machine please run at least 25 pieces of your material at a determined length and run several lengths from 4”...
