removing blade. Your SM-12 knife comes to

you razor sharp and thus may cause severe
injury unless proper care is exercised.

1. Knife cannot be removed unless sharpener is removed
first. (See removal of blade sharpener.)

2. Remove cover as described above.

3. Using a standard screwdriver, loosen and remove three
mounting screws. (fig. 8).

4. Carefully, remove knife.

This "Warning" label

is affixed to your

unit. Do Not Remove.

Your slicer motor is designed to be used on 110-120
volts, 60 cycle as indicated on the nameplate.
Be sure the voltage is the same before plugging into

outlet.

1. Place food on platform (1) (fig. 10).

2. Set regulator knob for desired slice thickness and start
slicer. (If your slicer is equipped with the regulator knob
"shut-off" option, the motor can be turned "on" or "off" with
the use of the regulator knob while toggle switch is in "on"
position. Always turn toggle switch to "OFF" position when
slicer is not in use.)

3. Using platform reciprocating handle (8) move platform (1)
back and forth for every slice. NOTE:
push platform far enough forward to complete the slice,
then pull back until the food being cut clears the cutting
edge of the knife (fig. 10).

Your electric slicer is gravity fed and, therefore, it does not
require use of the Food Pusher. However, use of the food
pusher is important to prevent personal injury, particularly
when slicing small pieces of food. As a rule —

ALWAYS USE FOOD PUSHER. (9) NEVER

FEED FOOD BY HAND (fig. 6.).

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

Your new slicer will offer years of maintenance free operation
with proper care and use. Your motor needs no lubrication. To
insure continued smooth operation, the platform guide rod
should be lubricated about every two months by applying about
ten drops of lightweight oil Item (12) fig. 13.

CLEANING

Do not immerse assembled slicer or base assembly in water. Keep
spray cleaners and running water away from switch area, pully/belt
cover and motor mounting/housing area. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.

1. Wash base with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.

2. Clean all remaining parts with hot soapy water and dry.
