7.  These machines must be operated by trained personnel and should never be used by unskilled operators or children.
8.  The blade must be replaced when it has reduced in size by 5mm.

LubriQuik food grade silicone spray lubricant is ideal for use on virtually any equip-ment or machinery that makes contact with food, such as slicers, conveyor sys-tems, bottling and canning machinery, bakery equipment, and dairy equipment.

Blade Sharpening

1.  This operation should be undertaken if the cutting blade becomes dull. It should be noted that the blade is made from hardened material and under normal use should only need sharpening once a year.

4.  CAREFULLY clean the part of the blade to be sharpened.
5.  Unlock the sharpening device using the safety locking screw. Lift up the sharpening assembly and rotate it 180° so that both grinding wheels are in the correct position. Lower the sharpening device and lock in position.
6.  Plug in the machine and switch on.
7.  Using the button at the rear of the sharpening unit, push the stone against the rotating blade for approximately 30 seconds.
8.  After sharpening, it is important to remove the grinding wheel from the blade by letting go of the push button on the front of the sharpening device. Run the slicer for 2-3 seconds after letting go of this button.
9.  Return the sharpening device to its original position by unlocking the safety screw and rotating by 180°.
