INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
This manual contains instructions for the Installation, Operation, Care. Maintenance and Repair of the Slicing Machine.
Disassembly, Repair, Replacement and Reassembly Instructions are included. A trouble shooting gui de is provided. A
complete Replacement Parts List with identifying figures is also included to facilitate identification and ordering of
replacement parts.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: The Univex Slicing Machine is shipped from the factory in a foam filled corrugated cardboard container.
Remove all staples from the top of the container flaps. Open flaps and make sure all staples have been completely
removed so as not to scratch you or the slicer. Then remove upper foamed insert. Carefully remove the slicer from the
container with the assistance of a second person. For SAFETY do not lift from either the knife sharpener or from
anywhere near the knife or its housing. Lift slicer by handling the base.
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 should be reported to the Carrier immediately, and any shortage
of parts or fixtures to Univex Corporation.
Warning: After slicer has been inspected, wash slicer completely with warm water and mild soap For SAFETY, follow
the cleaning instructions on Page 7
INSTALLATION
The 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 provide sufficient clearance around it for ease of maintenance
and cl eaning, 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 (Fig. 1 [6]) 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 (Fig. 6 & 6A). Before making
electrical connections, CHECK the specifications on the nameplate to make sure that they agree with those on your
electrical 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.

is provided to indicate when the slicer is turned on.
OPERATING 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 and maintained according to instructions contained herein.
A high torque motor drives the knife through a highly efficient polyvee (multi -ribbed) belt and mating pulleys. The upper
pulley. which the knife attaches to, is a massive flywheel which further assists the motor in handling the toughest slicing
tasks.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
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 or 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 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 instructions on Page 7 for best results and for safety. Also remember to always turn the slicer OFF
and disconnect the electrical supply cord.
When slicing, always work the carriage using only the carriage arm handle (Fig. 1 [6]) Do not hold or push the carriage
from any other place.
START/STOP SWITCH
The slicer is started by pushing the ON/OFF toggle switch (Fig. 1 [10]) upward to the ON position. A pilot light (Fig. 1
SLICE ADJUSTMENT
Warning: Dial type knob adjustment (Fig. 1 [8]) allows for slice thicknesses ranging from paper thin up to 5/8". 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 (Fig. 1 [4]) is provided which can be locked out of the way when not required. Do
not use this last slice device to work the carriage back and forth. Use only the carriage arm handle (Fig. 1 [6]).
Always make sure the carriage is positively secured to the slicer by checking to see that the carriage arm knob (Fig. 1 [5])
is fully tightened. Failure to do this could result in the carriage striking and damaging the knife edge.

KNIFE GUARD
Warning: The knife guard (Fig. 1 [3D covers the knife completely except 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 can be removed for cleaning by unscrewing the knife guard knob (Fig. 3 [64]). For safety, keep
the knife guard on at all times except when cleaning. Never operate the slicer with the knife guard removed.
SHARPENING INSTRUCTIONS
This slicer is equipped with a knife having a concave or hollowed rear 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 (Fig. 1 [2]) on this machine is a top
mounted built-in design for simplicity and ease of use. It even has an automatic aligning feature.
Warning: The following sharpening procedure will provide high quality sharpening results and should also be
followed for safety considerations:
1. Warning: Keep away from the knife edge.
2. Completely close the slice adjustment (beyond "0") so that the knife-edge is not exposed.
3. The knife's cutting area should be clean and free from food, especially grease. 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 on Page 7. Remember to unplug the electrical supply cord.
4. Loosen sharpener lock pin (Fig. 3 [4|) which bears against sharpener post. then lift sharpener assembly
(Fig. 1 [2]) and rotate it 1/2 turn (or 180 ). Then seat it down over the knife.
5. Tighten sharpener lock pin (Fig. 3 [4]). As the lock pin is tightened, it bears on the sharpener post and
automatically aligns the grinding and deburring stones to the precise orientations which are preset at our
factory.
6. Turn slicer ON. Depress the sharpener button on the back side of blade and hold in. which will start the
grinding wheel rotating. Run until the beveled cutting surface cleans up. This can take from 30 seconds to
several minutes depending on how dull the blade was allowed to become. Release sharpener button.
7. Turn slicer OFF and check for the formation of a very slight burr on the side of knife opposite the bevel
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.
8. Turn slicer ON. Lightly press deburring (honing) button on the front side of blade and hold for 1 to 2
seconds while you turn OFF the slicer. Blade should now be completely sharpened and honed.
Caution: It is very important for best slicing results not to deburr the knife too long or the keen edge will
be destroyed due to the formation of an undesirable second bevel

9. Turn slicer OFF. Loosen lock pin, then lift and return sharpener to its storage position. Tighten lock pin.
10. Clean slicer and knife according to the cleaning procedure on Page 7 in order to thoroughly remove
grinding debris.
OPERATORS CARE OF SLICER

4. Caution: Remove carriage assembly (Fig. 1 [121) which may be washed in a sink. Use care in washing
the sharply pointed prongs on the last slice feed grip. Wash this area thoroughly. A small bristle brush is
recommended. Use only warn water and mild soap. Rinse carriage assembly with warm water and dry
thoroughly using a clean soft cloth.
6509
Never use detergents nor wash the slicer or any of its parts in a dishwashing machine or the clear
protective finish will be damage.
5. Warning: Wash body of slicer using warm water and mild soap using a soft cloth. Rinse using a clean,
soft cloth. Under no circumstances should the slicer be hose rinsed. It is recommended that the cloth be
folded over a thin wooden stick when cleaning between the fence plate and the knife.
6. Remove knife guard (Fig. 1 [3]) by loosening knife guard knob (Fig. 3 [64 ]) and pushing the long stud
upward to lift knife guard above surface of knife. Then carefully lift and remove guard.
7. Warning: CAREFULLY wash the front and rear of the knife with a cloth using warm water and mild
soap. It is recommended that the cloth be folded over a thin wooden stick as a further caution to avoid
accidental contact with the knife Rinse with warm water applied with a cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean
soft cloth
8. Caution: Following cleaning, a commercial non-toxic sanitizer may be wiped on the clean surfaces with a
soft clean cloth or sprayed as recommended on the container labeling. It is important that the sanitizer be
compatible with anodized aluminum or the clear protective finish on the slicer will be damaged. Surfaces
should be wetted completely, but not to the point of running or puddling.
9. Warning: Replace the knife guard. Never leave the slicer without its knife guard installed!

LUBRICATION
Lubrication instructions are given in Figures 2 and 2A on pages 10 and 11. Operator's attention is called to lubricating
the slide bar (Fig. 4 [52]) as needed for smooth carriage motion, at least monthly with three drops of mineral oil.
The shaft of the last slice device (Fig. 4 [19]) should be lubricated as necessary with petrogel to maintain light film.
Distribute over surfaces by moving the grip and fence back and forth. Wipe excess film from shafts with a clean cloth.
MECHANICS MAINTENANCE
Every year a mechanic or service technician should perform the following inspection and carry out the respective
maintenance as required:
Warning: FOR SAFETY, TURN OFF SLICER AND DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL CORD.
1.
BELT DRIVE - This drive features a multi-ribbed high performance belt for long trouble-free service.
Inspect belt for proper tension. If glazed or excessively worn. replace. A tensioning device automatically
allows for normal belt wear -in and stretching. However, if additional tension is required, it may be
obtained by turning adjustment nuts (Fig. 3 [52]) clockwise on take-up rod (Fig. 3 [58]) which will further
compress the tensioning spring. As a guideline, the compressed length of the spring should be
approximately 7/8".
2. MOTOR - Motor is pre-lubricated and requires no periodic maintenance or relubrication in normal
kitchen usage. Provision for relubrication in extreme duty applications is provided by means of oiling
orifices at both shaft end and opposite ends of motor. A light weight electric motor oil or #10 nondetergent oil may be used.
3.
SLICE ADJUSTMENT - Check, by turning the slice adjustment knob (Fig. 5 [2]), to make sure that the
fence is closing completely (below "0" on knob) and that knife edge is not exposed. If fence is not closing
all the way such that the edge of the knife is exposed, check first for damage or obvious obstructions. If
there is no obvious damage to parts or obstructions, turn knob to highest number it will go, hold knob in
place and loosen set scr ew (Fig. 5 [10]); now hold cam (Fig. 5 [9]) in place and turn the knob to "12-1/4";
retighten set screw (Fig. 5 [10]). Check fence again to make sure that the fence is closed completely
(below "0" on knob) and that the knife is not exposed. The closed or z ero set position on the knob should
be in the white colored zone of the knob's dial.
4.
CARRIAGE - Check for free smooth operation of last slice device and for smooth travel of carriage arm
(Fig. 4 [23]). Check for excess backlash between slide bearing (Fig. 4 [50]) and carriage slide (Fig. 4
[55]). The correct lash (clearance) required for smooth carriage operation is obtained when a very slight
lash or movement can be detected. Too much lash can result in the carriage striking and damaging the
knife edge. Too little lash results in binding and a loss of smoothness in carriage travel. Lash is adjusted
by loosening locknut (Fig. 4 [47]) and turning brass rubbing screw (Fig. 4 [48]) clockwise to reduce lash
and counterclockwise to increase lash. Tighten locknut while holding rubbing screw stationary with a
screwdriver so it does not move. Grease only the side of the carriage slide (Fig. 4 [55]) on which this
brass rubbing screw slides.
5.
LUBRICATION & FUNCTION CHECK - General lubrication should be performed in accordance
with the lubrication instructions in Fig. 2 and 2A. During this lubrication
