OPTIMAL SLICING PERFORMANCE
TO OBTAIN THE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE AND YIELD
FROM YOUR GLOBE SLICER:
1. Read this entire manual before touching slicer and strictly follow all instructions and precautions.
THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR SAFETY!
2. Lubricate the slicer per the instructions on pages 18 and 19.
3. Maintain a sharp knife and replace as necessary. Sharpen frequently for short durations (10-15
seconds). Globe recommends replacing the knife at approximately 11” diameter. Never attempt to
replace the knife yourself. Contact an authorized Globe service company to replace the knife.
4. Clean knife prior to sharpening slicer per the instructions on pages 13 and 14.
5. As the knife is sharpened and the diameter is reduced, it will be necessary to have:
a. The table adjusted inward toward the knife in order to maintain a consistent 1/32” clearance
between the table and knife.
b. The sharpener assembly adjusted lower to maintain properalignment with the knife.
We recommend an authorized Globe service company
perform all adjustments and preventive maintenance
(See front cover for service contact information).
By adequately maintaining your slicer, it will provide years of dependable
service. The only way to damage a Globe slicer is by neglect.
