FEATURES
• No Volt Release – requires the slicer to be restarted after a power interruption.
• Gauge Plate Interlock – prevents the Product Tray (Fig. 1) from being tilted or removed unless the
Product Tray is in the home position (pulled all the way forward) and the Gauge Plate is closed.
• Home Start – requires the Product Tray (Fig. 1) to be in the home position (pulled all the way
forward) before the slicer can be started.
• Close-to-Stop – turns the slicer off when the Gauge Plate is returned to the closed position by
turning the Index Knob (Fig. 1) fully clockwise. The slicer also is turned off if the OFF button is
pressed.
• Auto-Shutoff – will automatically turn the slicer off if a back-and-forth stroke of the Product Tray
has not been made within 30 seconds.
The HS7 and HS9 Series Slicers feature automatic slicing with a choice of four speeds for the Product
Tray. The Select-a-Stroke
TM
feature allows the user to select the exact stroke length to fi t the product being
sliced. This can increase the slice rate on items needing a shorter stroke.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the slicer, check for possible shipping damage. If the slicer is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installing the slicer, test the electrical service to ensure it agrees with the specifi cations on the
machine data plate. The data plate is located on the left side of the slicer base.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The electrical cord on this machine is equipped with a three-pronged grounding
plug which must be connected to a properly grounded receptacle. If the receptacle is not the
proper grounding type, contact an electrician. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug.
LOCATION
Place the slicer on a suitable counter or tabletop. Allow enough space around the slicer so the carriage
can move freely forward and back.
ASSEMBLY
The Product Tray (Fig. 1) must be installed.
To install the Product Tray on the slicer, lower the bottom of the Support Arm onto the Carriage Hinge
Pins (Fig. 2). Tilt the Product Tray toward the Gauge Plate. Turn the Knob on the Support Arm until it is
tight against the Support Arm.

CLEAN BEFORE USING
The slicer must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized after installation and before being used. See Cleaning.
