GAUGE PLATE

When making several cuts of the same thickness (or when using the pusher plate), set the gauge plate as desired (Fig. 13) by pushing the lock lever and sliding the gauge plate to the thickness you want. A reference scale on the table indicates the thickness of cut. If the gauge plate is not needed, you may release the lock lever and move the gauge plate to the rear; or raise the gauge plate to a vertical position to keep it out of the way.

PUSHER PLATE

The pusher plate is used to hold meat against the gauge plate when slicing short ends. A slot in the pusher plate and a stop on the right "flanged-end" of the carriage is provided for proper positioning of the pusher plate (Fig. 13). Hold the pusher plate handle with your right hand and always maintain a safe distance from the blade. When not in use, keep the pusher plate under the carriage support (Fig. 2).
