BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT
Berkel’s slicers are designed to slice meat and other food products safely
and efficiently. However, unless the operator is properly trained and super-
vised, there is the possibility of a serious injury. It is the responsibility of
the owner to ensure that this slicer is used properly and safely, strictly
following the instructions contained in this manual and any requirements
of local law.
No one should use or service this slicer without proper training and super-
vision. All operators should be thoroughly familiar with the procedures
contained in this manual. Even so, Berkel cannot anticipate every circum-
stance or environment in which its slicers will be used. You, the owner and
operator, must remain alert to the hazards posed by the function of a
slicer—particularly the sharp rotating blade and moving table. No one
under 18 years of age should operate this equipment. If you are uncertain
about a particular task, ask your supervisor.
