INSTALLATION

1. After you have removed the Lettuce Saber™ from
the carton, inspect the unit for signs of damage. If
there is damage to the unit:

z Notify carrier within 24 hours after delivery.

z Save carton and packing materials for inspec

tion purposes.

z Contact your local Prince Castle dealer or the

Prince Castle Customer Sales Department at 1­630-462-8800, if purchased directly, to arrange
for a replacement to be sent.

2. To insure safe operation, familiarize yourself with the
Lettuce Saber by reading the entire operation manual
before use.

3. The Lettuce Saber is designed to cut lettuce only.
Attempting to cut other products may damage the unit
and injure operator.

4. The Prince Castle Lettuce Saber comes assembled and
ready for use. However, we recommend that it be
thoroughly cleaned prior to its initial use.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

The Lettuce Saber should be cleaned with warm water and
mild soap. The Pusher Plate should be cleaned with the
Brush supplied with the unit.

CAUTION- Never put Lettuce Saber parts, including the
Blade Assemblies, in the dishwasher!

Do not use solvents or bases in cleaning/degreasing as
they will attack the plastic parts.

Extreme care should be taken when handling the Blade As­semblies. ALWAYS hold the Blade Assemblies by the wide
bars. ALWAYS set the Blade Assemblies down in a
manner to protect the cutting blade edges.

OPERATION

1 Install the Lower and Upper Blade Assemblies as shown

by the label on the Lettuce Saber. Be sure to install the
Blade Holders after the desired arrangement is set.

2. After the Blade Assemblies and Blade Holders are set in
place, operate the Handle Lever Assembly with a
complete stroke to assure the grid on the Pusher Plate
passes through the Blade Assemblies. If the grid passes
through the Blade Assemblies, the Lettuce Saber is
ready for operation. If the grid does not pass through the
Blade Assemblies, recheck the alignment.

3. When operating the Lettuce Saber, grasp the Up­right Handle with one hand to steady the unit and
use your other hand to pull down firmly on the Handle
Lever Assembly. For best results, grasp the
Lettuce Saber’s handles at their centers. Do not at
tempt to operate the Lettuce Saber with both hands
on the Handle Lever Assembly as this would make
the Lettuce Saber unsteady, increasing the chance
for injury.

4. Place the product to be cut in the center on the Blade
Grid. Lower the Pusher Plate until it comes in
contact with the product and then complete the
stroke with a rapid, steady motion until the grid on
the Pusher Plate passes through the Blade
Assemblies.

OPERATING TIPS

* To achieve maximum performance and life, the

Lettuce Saber will need to be lubricated weekly.
See the accompanying diagram for areas that
need lubrication. Use the lubricant supplied with the
Lettuce Saber. Do not use cooking or vegetable
oil as these products will eventually build up a
residue and affect the performance of the Lettuce
Saber.

* Do not use aerosol spray lubricants.

* Prior to cutting lettuce, be sure to remove the core

with the Prince Castle Corer or you could damage
the Knife Assemblies.

* Use the Lettuce Saber only for its intended purpose of

cutting lettuce.

* Inspect the Lettuce Saber before each use to make

sure that there are no loose or missing parts.

STORAGE

When not in use, the Lettuce Saber should be stored
with the Blade Assemblies covered to prevent damage
and for safety. To do this, simply release the spring ten­sion by disengaging the Springs (part no’s 10 & 11) from
the Handle Lever Assembly (part no. 15) and lower the
Handle Lever Assembly all the way down to cover the
Blade Assemblies. When you are ready to use the Let­tuce Saber again, raise the Handle Assembly to the up­right position and engage the Springs.

When disengaging and engaging the springs, do
so from the side of the Lettuce Saber so there is no
chance of your hands slipping into the Knife As­sembly area. Do not place your hand on the Blade
Assemblies while disengaging the springs.

Store the Lettuce Saber in an area free from chemicals
