KNIFE SHARPENING
SHARP KNIFE BLADE
TO AVOID SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY:
• NEVER touch rotating knife.
•ALWAYS keep hands clear of all moving parts.
•ALWAYS turn off slicer, return auto engage lever to “Manual” position (automatic slicers only), turn
slice thickness dial completely clockwise, and remove food chute before sharpening.
• NEVER sharpen slicer unless all guards are installed.
•ALWAYS make sure food chute is removed and auto engage lever is in “Manual” position when
sharpening automatic slicers.
GENERAL
1. Symptoms of a dull knife are excess waste/or a “tail” on the unsliced portion remaining in the food
chute.
2. The knife needs to be sharpened periodically to provide consistent slices and maximum food
product yield. Sharpening the knife lightly every few days is more efficient than heavy sharpening
at less frequent intervals.
PREPARING TO SHARPEN
Turn slicer off by pressing the stop button (automatic slicers only) or by pushing the
on/off tab inward.
Make sure auto engage lever is in the “Manual” position (automatic slicers only).
1. Turn slice thickness dial completely clockwise so the slicer table covers knife edge.
2. Remove food chute from slicer.
3. Clean and dry both sides of the knife before sharpening, following instructions for knife cleaning on
pages 13 and 14.
