Baxter Bread Slicers come in models with manual or automatic operation. Manual slicers feature an easyto-use slice lever, which enables you to personally control the slice pressure. Automatic models replace the
lever with push-button operation for continuous slicing. The built-in slice management system automatically
adjusts slice pressure to loaf consistency. In addition, electronic eye sensors increase safety by stopping
slicing operation if the loading area is entered.
Baxter Bread Slicers come in freestanding and countertop sizes. All models include a bagging spade and
an easy-to-clean crumb drawer or tray.
Thoroughly read this manual before operation and carefully follow the instructions provided.

(Item A in Figure 1) (never remove the screws and unfasten the lamellas (A) from the frame, as you
might alter the default settings).
4. Tilt the frame forward.
Only replace 4 or 5 blades at a time to avoid dangerous breaks and not warp the frame.
