INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
This manual contains instructions for the Installation, Operation, Care, Maintenance andRepair of the Meat Slicing Machine. Disassembly, Repair, Replacement and ReassemblyInstructions are included. A trouble shooting guide is provided. A complete ReplacementParts List with identifying figures is also included to facilitate identification and ordering
of replacement parts.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSPECTION
All Univex slicers are inspected and tested at the factory; however, they should be
reinspected carefully by the person making the installation for loose, damaged
or broken
parts. Detached parts and fixtures should be checked against packing list to determine all
are present. Any damages, imperfections or shortages should be reported to the dealer or
Univex and shipping carrier.
Warning: After slicer has been inspected, wash slicer completely with warm water and
mild soap. For SAFETY, follow the cleaning instructions on Page 6.
INSTALLATIONThe most efficient installation of your Univex slicer will depend upon the layout of your
kitchen. Locate your slicer where it will save steps for the operator and be sure to providesufficient clearance around it for ease of maintenance and cleaning, as well as for efficient
and safe use.
Slicer should be operated on a sturdy bench or table with the height determined to suit the
operator.
It is most important that the forearm of the operator be at the proper level for
ease and safety of operation, as well as for maximum production. This height is considered
optimum when the carriage handle (Figure 1 [8]) of the slicer is at approximately the height
of the operator's elbow when standing.
IMPORTANT
Warning/CautIon: Electrical wiring instructions are found in the wiring diagram (Figure
7) Before making electrical connections, CHECK the specifications on
the nameplate to make sure that they agree with those on yourelectrical service. A grounding type three-terminal plug is provided for
safety. If you do not have a mating receptacle, have a qualified
electrician provide one with grounding provisions in accordance with
local safety codes.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
It is a violation of United States Department of Labor regulations to permit operation of the
slicer by any person under the age of 18 years.
Warning: The slicer knife is extremely sharp! Never touch the knife, always keep hands
and fingers clear of the knife. Never run slicer without the guard and all other
parts in place and securely fastened. Take extra care to avoid accidents by
keeping the knife guard and sharpening assembly cover ON at all times. When
Page 3

4509/45 10/45 12
the machine is not in use, the slice adjustment knob should be turned fully back
to the closed position (beyond "0") so that the knife edge is not exposed.
Observe the cleaning instruction on Page 6 for best results and for safety. Also
remember to always turn off the slicer and disconnect the electrical supply cord
before cleaning.
When slicing, always work the carriage using only the carriage arm handle
(Figure 1 [8]). Do not hold or push the carriage from any other place.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Univex slicer is designed to meet the cook's demand for an efficient, sturdy slicer. The
Univex slicer will give unfailing performance over a period of years, when operated andmaintained according to instructions contained herein.
START/STOP SWITCH
The slicer is started by toggling the ON/OFF switch (Figure 1 [10]) to the ON position.
from paper thin up to 1/2". Dial graduations allow you to precisely set up
specific slice thicknesses for various needs. When not in use, always return
knob back to its fully closed position (beyond "0") so that the knife edge is not
exposed.
POSITIVE HOLD CARRIAGE
Caution: A last slice gravity feed grip (Figure 1 [5]) is provided. Do not use this last slice
device to work the carriage back and forth. Use only the carriage arm handle
(Figure 1 [8]).
Always make sure the carriage is positively secured to the slicer by checking to
see that the carriage arm knob (Figure 1 [7]) is fully tightened. Failure to do
this could result in the carriage striking and damaging the knife edge.
PROTECTIVE GUARDWarning: The protective guard (Figure 1 [4]) covers the knife edge completely except
under the sharpener cover and the forward edge where slicing will be performed.This forward edge is covered by the edge of the fence, but only when the slice
adjustment is completely closed.
The knife guard (Figure 1 [3]) can be removed for cleaning by unscrewing the
knife guard knob (Figure 3 [11]). For safety, keep the knife guard on at all
times except when cleaning. Never operate the slicer with the knife guard
removed.

SHARPENING INSTRUCTIONS
4509/4510,4512
This slicer is equipped with a kmfe having a concave
or hollowed surface for superior
slicing quality. Of course, any knife, however superior, must be sharpened regularly and
properly in order to produce not only the highest quality slices, but also to allow it to
maintain its productivity. The knife sharpener (Figure 1 [2])
on this machine is a top
mounted built-in mechanism, designed for simplicity and ease of use.
Warning: The following sharpening procedure will provide high quality sharpening results
and should also be followed for safety considerations:
WarnIng: Keep away from the knife edge.
Completely close the slice adjustment (beyond '0") so that the knife edge is
not exposed.
The knife cutting area should be clean and free from food, especially
Grease will ruin the ability of a grinding stone to sharpen an edge. The stone
simply will not cut. If cleaning is necessary, follow the procedure outlined

grease.
on
Loosen sharpener knob assembly (Figure 8 [4]) which bears against sharpener
post, then lift sharpener assembly (Figure 1 [2]) and rotate it 1/2 turn (180°).
Then force it down over the knife.
Tighten sharpener knob assembly (Figure 8 [4]). As the knob assembly is
tightened, it bears on the sharpener post and automatically aligns the grindingand deburring stones to the precise orientations which are preset at
factory.
Turn slicer
This will start the grinding process. Run until the beveled
our
cutting surface (back side of blade) cleans up. This can take from 30 seconds
to several minutes depending on how dull the blade was allowed to become.Turn slicer OFF.
Check for the formation of a very slight burr on the side of knife opposite the
bevel (front side of blade) which indicates complete grinding of the bevel.
This slight burr can be detected either visually or by picking with a small
piece of stiff paper.
Turn slicer ON. Lightly press deburring (honing) button (Figure 8 [15]) of
the sharpener assembly and hold for 1 to 2 seconds while you turn OFF theslicer. Blade should now be completely sharpened and honed.
Caution: It is important for best slicing results not to deburr the knife too
long or the keen edge will be destroyed due to the formation ofan undesirable second bevel on the opposite side. Thiscondition tends to be the primary cause of unsatisfactory slicing
results.
Turn slicer OFF. Loosen knob assembly, (Figure 8 [4]) then lift and return
sharpener to its storage position. Tighten knob assembly.
Clean slicer and knife according to the cleaning procedure on Page 6 in order
to thoroughly remove grinding debris.

MECHANICS MAINTENANCE
Every year a mechanic or service technician should perform the following inspection andcarry out the respective maintenance as required:
Warning
FOR SAFETY, TURN OFF SLICER AND DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL
CORD.
BELT DRIVE This drive features a multi-ribbed high performance belt for
long trouble-free service. Inspect belt for proper tension.
If worn, replace. If
tension requires adjustment, it may be obtained by loosening nut (Fig. 7 [2))
and turning screw (Fig. 7 [3)) clockwise until desired tension is achieved.
Holding screw (Fig. 7 [3)) stationary, tighten nut (Fig. 7 [2]) against motor
casing.
CARRIAGE - Check for free smooth operation of last slice device and for
smooth travel of carriage arm (Fig. 4 [2)). Check for excess backlash between
slide bearing (Fig. 4 [10)) and carriage slide bar (Fig. 4 [8]). The correct lash
(clearance) required for smooth carriage operation is obtained when a veryslight lash or movement can be detected. Too much lash can result in the
carriage striking and damaging the knife edge. Too little lash results inbinding and a loss of smoothness in carriage travel. Lash is adjusted by
loosening locknut (Fig. 4 [14]) and turning set screw (Fig. 4 [15)) clockwiseto reduce lash and counterclockwise to increase lash, Tighten locknut while
holding nylon tipped stud stationary with a screwdriver so it does not move.
Grease only the side of the carriage slide (Fig. 4 [8]) on which this set screw
slides. General guidelines: tighten screw until snug and then loosen 1/8 turn
and tighten locknut as described above
LUBRICATION & FUNCTION CHECK - General lubrication should be
performed in accordance with the lubrication instructions in Fig. 2. During
this lubrication sequence, be sure to check for free operation and movement ofrelated parts as well as for excessive wear and looseness of various parts. Be
sure to check all handles and knobs for tightness.
KNIFE - Check knife edge to see that it has been properly sharpened. If there
is any evidence of incorrect sharpening procedure, such as excessive honing,
alert owner and operator.
