Assembly
1.Assemble the blade shafts as shown in Figure 3. When assembled correctly, the spring pushes the flat parts of the blades together. When replacing the blades on the main shaft (the one connected to the crank handle), make sure the beveled edge of the blades are facing the spring side. On the driven shaft, make sure the beveled sides of the blades are facing the gear side.
2.Fasten the top half of the jerky slicer onto the base with the two cap screws.
3.Install the crank handle and secure it in place with the thumbscrew.
4.Insert the meat alignment combs into each side of the slicer, as shown in Figure 4.
5.Clamp the jerky slicer to the counter or table as shown in Figure 5. The maximum counter thickness that will work with the provided clamps is 11⁄2"

Operating
This jerky slicer will accept pieces of meat up to 1" thick and up to 43⁄4" wide. Cut larger pieces to fit before trying to insert them into the slicer. If you wedge too large of piece into the slicer, it may get stuck or place undue pressure on the cutting components.
To slice meat, insert the piece of meat into the opening and turn the handwheel. NEVER INSERT FINGERS INTO THE OPENING! If a piece of meat becomes stuck, use a fork to remove it or remove the top for easier access.
If you intend to slice different kinds of meat at the same time, clean the slicer between meat types to avoid cross contamination.
