With the Gauge Plate fully closed and the Automatic/Manual Lever (Fig. 2) in the Manual position (down), pull the carriage all the way toward the operator end of the machine (Home position).
With the Meat Grip out of the way, place the product to be sliced on the Carriage Tray.
To adjust the Fence: Loosen the thumbscrew (Fig. 1); slide the Fence so it is close to the product but not pushing against it; retighten the thumbscrew.
Set the Meat Grip against the product. The Meat Grip should be used when slicing. If using the optional food chute, the Meat Grip is not needed.
