SLICING — MODEL 2912
With the Gauge Plate fully closed, pull the Carriage all the way toward you until it reaches its stop. With the Meat Grip out of the way, place the product to be sliced on the Carriage Tray. Adjust the fence by loosening the thumb screw and sliding the fence so that it is close to the product but not pushing against it. Tighten the thumb screw. Set the Meat Grip against the product. Always make sure the Lever (Fig. 3) is in the Manual position (down) before starting the slicer.
If the Meat Grip is not needed, it may be stored out of the way by sliding it to the top of its travel, rotating it under the Carriage Tray, and allowing it to rest in the Retaining Clip (Fig. 3).
With the Gauge Plate in the closed position, turn the slicer on by pulling the Switch Knob (Fig. 3). Open the Gauge Plate to obtain the desired slice thickness by turning the Index Knob (Fig. 3) and begin slicing. The numbers on the Index Knob do not indicate actual measurements but may be used for reference to duplicate slice thickness. Unless the Gauge Plate is opened and movement introduced to the Carriage within the 10 second auto shutoff period, the machine will turn off.
Use the Carriage Tray Handle (Fig. 3) to push the Carriage back and forth to slice manually.
Turn the slicer off by pushing the Switch Knob or by closing the Gauge Plate.
To operate the slicer in Automatic mode . . . Rotate the Speed Selector Knob (Fig. 3) to the desired speed; make sure the Carriage is in HOME position (all the way forward); make sure the Lever (Fig. 3) is on the Manual position (pointing down); make sure the Gauge Plate is in the closed position; turn the slicer on; adjust gauge to desired thickness; start the carriage drive unit by rotating the Lever to the Automatic position (up and to the right).
Any of the six speed selections can be adjusted at any time by rotating the Speed Selector Knob.
To stop the drive unit, rotate the Lever down and to the left — to the Manual position.
To use the optional Food Chute, place the Meat Grip on the Retaining Clip, fit the hangers on the Food Chute around the meat grip slide rod (at front), and lower the Food Chute onto the Carriage Tray.
