CAUTION Never have more than one leg loose at a time. 4. Once one 4” leg is in place, proceed to install the other three legs, ONE AT A TIME. Make sure to put a rubber foot on each leg. 5.

To store the pusher at the top of the product table, simply pull the product pusher to the top of the table and allow the nylon button to fall behind the catch plate at the top of the product table.
MANUAL OPERATION Note: Make sure on the Model 919A slicers that the shift lever is in the manual position. 1. Turn the unit on by pushing the START switch up, then release so that it goes back to the middle position. The knife will start slowly, then speed up.
THE SLICER WILL STOP WHEN SHIFTED FROM “LO” TO “HI” OR “HI” TO “LO” WHILE THE SLICER IS RUNNING. IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO RESTART THE SLICER WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN SPEEDS. WHEN SHIFTING, THE KNIFE SPEED WILL INCREASE (OR DECREASE) AS WELL AS THE PRODUCT TABLE.
THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT Note: If the thickness knob is closed, then the slicer must be turned on before the thickness knob can be turned. 1. Thickness adjustment allows you to vary the thickness of the slices from paper thin to more than 3/4 of an inch. To make thinner slices, turn the thicknss control knob to the right. For thicker slices, turn the knob to the left. 2. The numbers on the knob will help you set the slicer to the thickness that’s “just right” for a product.

TO REPLACE THE SHARPENING STONES: 1. Remove the stones from the shaft by using a 10-millimeter metric wrench while gripping the stone firmly with the left hand. NOTE: The sharpening stone (cup shaped) is mounted on a left-hand threaded shaft. Turn the nut to the right to remove. The deburring stone (cone shaped) is mounted on a standard right-hand threaded shaft. Turn nut counterclockwise to remove. Always use a nut and washer to secure the stones to the shaft. 2. Assemble sharpener with new stones.
DISASSEMBLY FOR CLEANING 1. Turn off and unplug the slicer from the wall outlet. 2. Slide product table toward you. 3. Turn the thickness control knob fully to the right. The gauge plate must be completely closed and the arm fully forward before the table can be removed. 4. Loosen the product table locking knob. 5. Hold the product table and lift off. Since the pusher can slide or rotate, keep slicing table level. 6.
