909A & 919A OWNER/OPERATOR MANUAL • 11
THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT
Note: If the thickness knob is closed, then the slicer must be turned on before the thickness knob
can be turned.
1. Thickness adjustment allows you to vary the thickness of the slices from paper thin to more than
3/4 of an inch. To make thinner slices, turn the thicknss control knob to the right. For thicker slices,
turn the knob to the left.
2. The numbers on the knob will help you set the slicer to the thickness that’s “just right” for a
product. The numbers and thickness may vary slightly from one machine to the next. If you’re
slicing meat or cheese for customers, you can ask them how thick they want it, and adjust the slicer
to meet their request.
3. Select either “LO” speed for soft products such as American cheese or Braunschweiger, or “HI”
speed for firm products such as hard salami.
4. For manual operation, switch slicer ON and grasp the product table handle, moving the table back
and forth.
5. LET SLICES DROP FROM THE KNIFE. The shape of the blade will cause slices to fall from the
knife.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION—MODEL 919A
1. The shift lever is used on the automatic model only.
2. Before engaging the shift lever, the slicer should be turned OFF.
3. To engage the automatic slicer drive, move and HOLD the shift lever toward automatic with the left
hand while manually moving the slicing table handle with the right hand until it locks in place.
4. Select either “LO” or “HI” speed by switching the speed selection switch. Select the downward
position for “LO” for soft products such as American cheese or Braunschweiger, or the upper
position for “HI” for firm products such as hard salami.
