Install decoring screw or agitator
device to the machine.
Make sure blades or grating plates
are intact and sharp.
Place speed control switch in
Position 1 for dicing, and in
Position 2 for all other cutting.

plates are sharp, a light pressure
is normally all that is required to
give the best cutting results.
Make sure the ejector plate is
always installed when cutting.
