INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSPECTION OF SHIPMENT
Unpack all cartons and check thoroughly for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Damage
claims should be filed immediately with the transportation company.

tape before starting operation.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
5280M – 120V 60Hz
5280MX – 230V 50Hz
Your electrician must furnish sufficient power for proper machine operation. We recommend this slicer
be on a dedicated and protected circuit. Failure to wire properly will void the warranty and may result in
damage to the machine.
It is Gold Medal® Products Company’s recommendation that this machine be plugged directly into a wall
outlet. The use of extension cords is not recommended due to safety concerns, and may cause sacrificed
and/or reduced performance.

Blade ‘S’ – A thin slicing blade for Saratoga swirls stamped ‘S’ (Part No. 63640).

make Saratoga swirls.
Blade ‘M’ – A medium slicing blade, stamped ‘M’ (Part No. 82826).
This blade has a slight bend in it and will make slices approximately 3/16” inch thick. Use this blade with
the medium shredding blade and slicer pin to make hash brown type continuous strands for hash browns
or spider web potato pancakes.
Blade ‘C’ – A coarse slicing blade, stamped ‘C’ (Part No. 82825).
This blade has a 12 degree bend and will make 1/4” inch slices. This blade has already been installed in
the unit. This blade along with the coarse shredding blade (also installed) and slicer pin (also installed)
are used to make spiral fries. Or use this blade and slicer pin alone to make the exploding onion.
SHREDDING BLADES
Medium Shredding Blade (Part No.82818)
The 10 cutting teeth identify this blade. Use with medium slicing blade to make items listed in 1b.
Coarse Shredding Blade (Part No. 82819)
The 5 cutting teeth identify this blade. This blade is installed in the unit and is used with the coarse
slicing blade to make spiral fries.
NOTE: The shredding blades must be used with a slicing blade. The slicer pin weldment is always used
except for making Saratoga swirls
CHANGING SLICER BLADES.
The slicing blade is secured with flange or hex nuts and the shredding blade is secured by wing nuts. To
change the blades, simply remove the nuts, remove the previously used blade, install the next blade and
secure with the wing nuts.
NOTE: The slicing blade is always the horizontal blade and the shredding blade is always vertical.
Installation of the blades in any other manner will result in the unit being non-functional.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued)
USING THE SPIRAL SLICER
Adjust the stop collar to allow the drive plate pins to come close but not touch the cutting blades.
FOR SARATOGA SWRILS
Remove the shredding blade and slicer pin weldment. The slicing blade must be positioned to the high
side of the blade mounting holes for proper cutting of Saratoga swirls. If the Saratoga swirls are not
loading onto the skewer properly, check the slicing blade mounting and adjust it to its maximum height.
Use the “S” blade when making Saratoga swirls.
NOTE: Be sure the adjustable set collar is positioned to prevent the drive plate from engaging the cutting
blade.
1. Cut about a 1/2" piece of the potato from one or both ends.
2. Insert wood skewer (Part No. 4159) into potato until it protrudes from opposite end of potato
about 1/2". Use the Potato Pierce (Part No. 63530) to create a hole through the potato.
3. Feed the long, empty portion of the skewer through the open slot next to the cutting blade.
4. Place the short, half-inch end of the skewer protruding from the potato into the hole in the drive
plate and firmly seat the potato onto the spikes of the drive plate.
5. Move the potato and drive assembly toward the blades.
6. Determined by your model, start rotating the crank arm of the manual slicer in a clockwise
manner or press the two red buttons on the motorized slicer.
7. Advance the potato towards the blade until it is fully engaged with the slicing blade.
8. Firmly push and/or crank until the drive assembly reaches the set collar. This should leave a
small slice of potato on the drive plate.
FOR ALL OTHER APPLICATIONS
1. Cut about a 1/2" piece of the potato from each end.
2. Firmly seat the potato or vegetable of choice on the drive plate.
3. Move the potato and drive assembly toward the blades.
4. Insert the center pin into the potato.
NOTE: Do not bury the center pin, shredding blade or cutting blade into the potato. This will
result in poor performance!!
5. Start rotating the crank arm in a clockwise manner or start the motor.
6. Slowly advance the crank arm, or power unit until the potato is fully engaged in the blade system
being used.
7. Firmly push and crank until potato is fully used.
TIPS FOR OPTIMAL PREFORMANCE
1. Always make sure the blades are firmly seated on the machine.
2. Make sure any wing nuts that hold on the slicing blades are vertical.
3. Do not push too hard. Push with a steady motion letting the machine and blades do the work.
