SlIDING OF cARRIAGE AND FOOD ARM
1. The carriage and the food guide slide on rods
that are properly lubricated by the manufacturer.
Over time the lubrication might dryout, and these
parts require very simple maintenance.
2. Should these parts not slide smoothly, add a
very small amount of industrial oil (e.g., WD40)
to them.
3. At the bottom of the carriage support, you will
find a black plastic screw. This can be manually
reset over time to ensure the carriage can slide
smoothly across.
SHARPENING THE BlADE
If the blade edge becomes dull or discolored over
time, use the sharpener as required to provide a sharp
and clean edge for slicing. The sharpening operation
takes a few minutes and can be done safely with
adequate care. Follow the instructions for your safety.
1. Unplug the cord from the power outlet.
2. Clean the blade (as described in the Cleaning
and Maintenance section) to remove grease and
food residue.
3. Open the counterplate completely using the
thickness control knob while holding the blade
sharpener; fit the pins into the holes.
4. Do not damage the blade while doing this.
5. Rotate the front part of the blade sharpener until
it locks.
6. Plug the cord into the power outlet.
7. Remove your hands and turn machine to the ON
position.
8. Put one hand on the control knob and slowly turn
it until the sharpening stone lightly touches the
edge of the blade.
9. Keep the stone in that position, in light contact
for 20–40 seconds.
10. Rotate the thickness control knob to fully open
the counterplate in order to move the stone away
from its contact with the blade.
11. For your safety, stop the machine and unplug the
power cord.
12. The first step of sharpening has been completed.
This operation has left a burr along the front face
of the blade which must now be removed.
