MAINTENANCE
KNIFE SHARPENING
The knife will provide long service in normal food retail or commercial kitchen use. However, in high
volume applications where it is a practice to sharpen the knife frequently or even daily, the knife will
be expended in a shorter time.
Sharpen only when necessary; prolonged or too frequent sharpening results in unnecessary
knife wear.
WARNING: UNPLUG MACHINE POWER CORD.
Turn the index knob fully clockwise to close the
gauge plate. Remove the Top Knife Cover by
rotating the Latch Knob counterclockwise and lifting
it off the slicer. Thoroughly wash the area around
the knife, the exposed knife surfaces, and the
knife edge. Fat from meat or cheese should not
be allowed to transfer from the knife to the
sharpener.
Plug in machine power cord. Start the slicer by
pulling the start switch forward until it starts and
then releasing it. If the sharpener handle is the
type that does not hang downwards, pull it fully
forward for 5 seconds (Fig. 8). If the sharpener
handle does hang downwards, lift it with your
left hand until horizontal and pull forward for
5 seconds (Fig.8). Slowly release the sharpener
handle. If necessary, repeat sharpening for another
5 seconds.
Turn the slicer off. Unplug machine power cord. Wipe
the slicer with a clean damp cloth to remove any
grinding particles. Replace the Top Knife Cover.
LUBRICATION — Carriage Slide Rod
Lubricate the Carriage Slide Rod with Lubriplate
FMO-200-AW oil. Either squirt 8 – 10 drops every
2 – 3 months (depending on usage) in the Wick
Hole on the Carriage Transport (Fig. 9). Or, once
monthly, apply 4 – 5 drops directly on the Carriage
Slide Rod on each side of the Carriage Transport
(Fig. 9).
To apply oil, pull out the telescoping tube on the oil bottle, aim the tube, and squeeze gently on the
sides of the bottle. After applying oil, move the Carriage Tray back and forth a few times so the oil
spreads over the entire length of the slide rod.
