CAUTION
Be careful when handling and operating the machine, as

from the blades.
WALL MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: It's important that the unit be mounted to
a stud to prevent it from falling during use!
1. Position the bracket on the wall where you would
like to mount the unit.
2. Make sure the orientation of the bracket is correct
so that the fry cutter slides in from the top.
3. Find the closest stud and move the bracket so that
the mounting holes on one side of the bracket are
over the stud.
4. Mark the 6 hole locations and remove the machine.
5. Drill 5/32" holes through these marks.
6. Re-position the bracket on the wall aligned with the
holes and secure using washers and mounting screws.
7. Slide the fry cutter into the bracket.
COUNTER MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Choose a spot on a sturdy countertop where you'd like
to mount the unit. Ensure the mounting screws will not
penetrate anything under the counter.
2. Mark the 4 hole locations and remove the machine.
3. Drill 5/32" holes through these marks.
4. Re-position the unit to align with the holes and secure
using washers and mounting screws.
