SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Every effort has been made by Oliver Products Company to provide you with a safe
machine. It is essential; however, that machine operators and maintenance personnel
observe the following safety precautions.

1. Before attempting to operate your slicer read this manual. Never allow an untrained
person to operate this machine.

2. Make sure that the machine is only connected to a properly grounded electrical
supply source of sufficient capacity for the load the slicer will put on it. Always
unplug the machine when it is not in use.

3. Always make sure the machine has been disconnected from the power supply before
cleaning or servicing.

4. Never stick your hand or any other objects into either end of the chute. Keep your
hands away from the moving parts of the machine.

5. Never attempt to adjust or service this machine until your are SURE

the blade has

stopped.

6. Always make sure the knife is not rubbing or hitting any metal components before re­starting the machine.

7. All guards must be in place before starting the machine.

8. Handle knife blades with care. Do not touch the moving knife.

9. Use only proper replacement parts.

10. In addition to these general safety instructions, also follow the more specific safety
instructions given for the different areas of the machine in the operating instructions.

ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING

NEVER ATTEMPT TO ADJUST OR SERVICE THIS MACHINE UNTIL
YOU ARE SURE THE BLADE HAS STOPPED.

OUTSIDE SIDE GUIDE
This guide is used to determine the amount of "Hinge" left on the product and can be

adjusted from leaving approximately a 1/2" hinge to a complete sever.
The guide is adjusted by loosening the two knobs which are below and to the outside of

the table and by sliding the guide in or out to generate the desired amount of hinge. Re­tighten the knobs when the guide is in the desired location.

CAUTION

MAKE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS NOT HITTING ANY OF THE OTHER
COMPONENTS BEFORE RE-STARTING THE MACHINE.

TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The table can be adjusted so that the height of the blade above the table is between 5/8"

and 1-1/2".
To change the height of the blade, loosen the handle located on the left side of the unit.

Once loosened, simply push or pull the handle until you’ve reached the desired height
associated on the slice height gauge. The slice height gauge is located on the front of
the unit. Once the desired slice thickness is achieved re-tighten the handle on the left
side of the base to secure the table in the new position.

CAUTION

MAKE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS NOT HITTING ANY OF THE OTHER
COMPONENTS BEFORE RE-STARTING THE MACHINE.

INSIDE SIDE GUIDE
Generally it is best to leave the inside guide adjusted to the maximum opening, this will

allow the product to pass through uninhibited for maximum slicing speed. However,
some products will require its use to reduce jamming.

(continued on next page)

0723S20004

If it seems necessary to adjust this guide loosen the two knobs which are on the top and
to the inside of the table, then slide the guide in or out to conform with product width.
Make a liberal adjustment to allow for product variances. Re-tighten the knobs to secure
it in the desired position.

SLOW-DOWN DOOR ADJUSTMENT
On the discharge end of the chute you will find a small adjustable door used to slow the

product as it exits the blade. Generally heavier products require a lower door setting
while lighter products require less restriction. The door is raised by turning the knob in a
clockwise direction. Turning the knob in the opposite direction will lower the door.

Normally if a bun should stop beneath the door the next bun should dislodge it, if it does
not then the door should be adjusted to provide less restriction.

WARNING

NEVER STICK YOUR HAND OR ANY OTHER OBJECT INTO EITHER
END OF THE CHUTE. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM
THE MOVING PARTS OF THE MACHINE.

WARNING

CAUTION

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

After adjustments for product width and bottom slice height have been made, (see
adjustment section), you are ready to begin slicing your product.

Start the motor by pressing the green pushbutton, the button will become illuminated.
This means the machine is running. Place the product on the chute and allow it to slide
into the blade, (do not throw the product into the machine). If the buns resist sliding
freely into the blade simply use the provided pusher to advance the first piece of product
into slicing position.

NEVER STICK YOUR HAND OR ANY OTHER OBJECT INTO EIT HER
END OF THE CHUTE. KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE MOVING
PARTS OF THE MACHINE.

NEVER PLACE A PRODUCT IN THE MACHINE BEFORE STARTING THE
MOTOR. THIS MAY PREVENT THE KNIFE FROM ROTATING AND
CAUSE MOTOR DAMAGE.

On Model 702-N machines, should the sliced bun stop under the discharge door, the
next bun through the blade will generally dislodge it. If this does not happen, re-adjust
the slow down door or inside guide, see adjustment section of this manual.

CAUTION

CLEANING (continued)
The BLADE should be cleaned at least daily and may be cleaned in place, the

maintenance person should wear cut resistant gloves to prevent injury. More frequent
cleaning of the BLADE is required when cutting fruity or sticky breads. Below is a
picture of how the clean-in-place feature can be carried out. The clean-in-place access
allows the operator to not have to remove the blade for daily cleaning.

ATTEMPTING TO SLICE PRODUCT WITH A DIRTY BLADE MAY
CAUSE MOTOR OVERLOADS -- CLEAN THE BLADE FREQUENTLY.

The BLADE may also be removed for cleaning and is necessary when product is
allowed to build up on the BLADE and dry. This may be a problem especially when
cutting fruity or sticky breads. See “Changing the Blade” latter in this manual for
instruction on how to remove the BLADE.

LUBRICATION
No lubrication is required. The motor is equipped with pre-lubricated sealed bearings
which require NO lubrication, DO NOT

attempt to oil or grease the motor.
