OPERATION
SAFETY
SAFETY DEVICES INCORPORATED IN THIS SLICER MUST BE IN THEIR CORRECT OPERATING
POSITIONS ANYTIME THE SLICER IS IN USE.
The TOP KNIFE COVER (Fig. 2) must be in position and secured with the LATCH KNOB. The RING
GUARD (Fig. 3) is not removable. The DEFLECTOR accessory, if equipped, is mounted behind the
blade on a spring clip (Fig. 3). The TOP KNIFE COVER and the DEFLECTOR can be removed for
cleaning.
The MEAT GRIP must be used when slicing short ends to help keep your hands away from the knife.
When the slicer is not running, the INDEX KNOB (Fig. 2) must be turned back below zero (fully
clockwise). The gauge plate will then prevent the knife edge from being exposed.
Always UNPLUG the power cord before cleaning or moving the slicer.

SLICING — MODEL 1612P
Pull the carriage all the way toward you until it reaches its stop. With the meat grip out of the way, place
the product to be sliced on the carriage tray.
Set the meat grip against the product and turn on the slicer by pulling the switch knob (Fig. 2). If the
meat grip is not needed, it may be stored out of the way by sliding it to the top of its travel, rotating it
behind the carriage tray, and allowing it to rest on the meat grip retaining clip.
Adjust the gauge plate to obtain the desired slice thickness by turning the index knob (Fig. 3). The
numbers on the index knob do not indicate actual measurements but may be used for reference to
duplicate slice thicknesses.
Use the carriage tray handle (Fig. 3) to push the carriage back and forth to slice.
To use the optional food chute, loosen the carriage tray thumb screw (Fig. 2) and carefully remove the
carriage tray. Position the food chute on the carriage support and secure it by tightening the thumb
screw. The pusher plate is provided with the food chute to force-feed products when necessary.
