DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS Description The Oliver Model 797-N series of Bread Slicers are of a compact, sturdy, time tested design, which has been used in bakeries worldwide for many years. The machine is easy to operate, with its gravity fed infeed chute, allowing production slicing of product in quantities of up to 600 loaves per hour.
797-N BREAD SLICER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Removing the Slicer from the Shipping Skid After removing the carton you should find the basic slicer completely assembled and strapped to the shipping skid. Cut both straps to free the slicer from the skid. CAUTION THE SLICER IS HEAVY, USE PROPER TECHNIQUE WHEN LIFTING.

797-N BREAD SLICER CASTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Place blocks on the floor approximately (8) and (38) inches from the discharge side of the slicer, see the illustration below. Lower the holddown to its lowest position and tighten the adjustment knob to prevent the outfeed table from swinging out. With one person on each side of the slicer, gently lower the slicer onto the blocks.

797-N BREAD SLICER On all slicers equipped with either the Power Belt infeed chute option, or a Model 1179S bagger, a counter weight must be attached to the caster brackets on the right hand side of the machine, (as viewed from the outfeed side of the slicer). See the above illustration.
CAUTION ALWAYS USE CARE WHENEVER WORKING NEAR THE CUTTING KNIVES. Adjusting the Gravity Feed Slicer’s Holddown, (Models 797-32N & 797-48N) Loosen the holddown adjustment knob. Adjust the holddown so that the product just clears the bottom edge of the holddown as it passes through the cutting knives. Tighten the holddown adjustment knob when the holddown is in the desired location.
797-N BREAD SLICER Adjusting the Slicer for Product Length Using a typical product, adjust the infeed chute side guides by applying hand pressure. See the next illustration. Set the side guides approximately 1/8 inch wider than the longest expected product. Adjusting the Outfeed Side Guides on a Standard Outfeed Table Adjust the side guide extensions so that they are approximately 1/4 inch from the cutting knives.
797-N BREAD SLICER NOTE OPTIONAL OUTFEED TABLE GUIDES ARE ADJUSTED WITH HAND PRESSURE IN A FASHION SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE INFEED GUIDES. AS WITH THE STANDARD OUTFEED TABLE ALIGN THE OUTFEED GUIDES WITH THE INFEED GUIDES. Operating a Gravity Feed Slicer Once the slicer has been properly adjusted for product clearance, the infeed chute may be loaded with the product to be sliced.
NUMBER OF PRODUCTS IN POSITION ON THE INFEED CHUTE, SHARPNESS OF CUTTING KNIVES, AND TEXTURE OF THE PRODUCT. Operating the Gravity Feed’s Last Loaf Pusher, (Models 797-32N & 797-48N) 32 inch and 48 inch gravity feed slicers are equipped with a last loaf pusher to assist in feeding the last product on the infeed chute through the cutting knives.

797-N BREAD SLICER Operating the Gravity Feed’s Last Loaf Pusher (continued) CAUTION THE KNIVES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. DO NOT TOUCH MOVING OR STATIONARY KNIVES. Once the last loaf pusher has fed the product into the cutting knives as far as it can, it may be necessary to pull the product the rest of the way through the knives by hand.
