Table Height Adjustment
The table height can be adjusted to set the blade height above the table.
Follow these steps:
- Loosen the handle located on the left side of the unit.
- Push or pull the handle until the desired height, indicated on the slice height gauge located on the front of the unit, is reached.
- Re-tighten the handle to secure the table in the new position.
Ensure that the blade is not hitting any other components before restarting the machine.
Inside Side Guide
The inside side guide is typically left adjusted to the maximum opening for
maximum slicing speed. However, some products may require its use to reduce
jamming.

ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
NEVER ATTEMPT TO ADJUST OR SERVICE THIS MACHINE UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THE
BLADE HAS STOPPED.
OUTSIDE SIDE GUIDE
This guide is used to determine the amount of “Hinge” left on the product and
can be adjusted from leaving approximately a 1/2″ hinge to a complete sever.
The guide is adjusted by loosening the two knobs which are below and to the
outside of the table and by sliding the guide in or out to generate the
desired amount of hinge. Re-tighten the knobs when the guide is in the desired
location.
CAUTION
MAKE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS NOT HITTING ANY OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS BEFORE
RE-STARTING THE MACHINE.
TABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The table can be adjusted so that the height of the blade above the table is
between 5/8″ and 1-1/2″. To change the height of the blade, loosen the handle
located on the left side of the unit. Once loosened, simply push or pull the
handle until you’ve reached the desired height associated on the slice height
gauge. The slice height gauge is located on the front of the unit. Once the
desired slice thickness is achieved re-tighten the handle on the left side of
the base to secure the table in the new position.
CAUTION
MAKE SURE THAT THE BLADE IS NOT HITTING ANY OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS BEFORE
RE-STARTING THE MACHINE.
INSIDE SIDE GUIDE
Generally, it is best to leave the inside guide adjusted to the maximum
opening, this will allow the product to pass through uninhibited for maximum
slicing speed. However, some products will require its use to reduce jamming.
If it seems necessary to adjust this guide loosen the two knobs which are on the top and to the inside of the table, then slide the guide in or out to conform with product width. Make a liberal adjustment to allow for product variances. Re-tighten the knobs to secure it in the desired position.
SLOW-DOWN DOOR ADJUSTMENT
On the discharge end of the chute, you will find a small adjustable door used
to slow the product as it exits the blade. Generally heavier products require
a lower door setting while lighter products require less restriction. The door
is raised by turning the knob in a clockwise direction. Turning the knob in
the opposite direction will lower the door.
Normally if a bun should stop beneath the door the next bun should dislodge it, if it does not then the door should be adjusted to provide less restriction.
WARNING
NEVER STICK YOUR HAND OR ANY OTHER OBJECT INTO EITHER END OF THE CHUTE.
ALWAYS KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE MOVING PARTS OF THE MACHINE.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
After adjustments for product width and bottom slice height have been made,
(see adjustment section), you are ready to begin slicing your product. Start
the motor by pressing the green pushbutton, the button will become
illuminated. This means the machine is running. Place the product on the chute
and allow it to slide into the blade, (do not throw the product into the
machine). If the buns resist sliding freely into the blade simply use the
provided pusher to advance the first piece of product into slicing position.
WARNING
NEVER STICK YOUR HAND OR ANY OTHER OBJECT INTO EITHER END OF THE CHUTE.
KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE MOVING PARTS OF THE MACHINE.
CAUTION
NEVER PLACE A PRODUCT IN THE MACHINE BEFORE STARTING THE MOTOR. THIS MAY
PREVENT THE KNIFE FROM ROTATING AND CAUSE MOTOR DAMAGE.
On Model 702-N machines, should the sliced bun stop under the discharge door, the next bun through the blade will generally dislodge it. If this does not happen, re-adjust the slow down door or inside guide, see adjustment section of this manual.

The BLADE should be cleaned at least daily and may be cleaned in place, the maintenance person should wear cut resistant gloves to prevent injury. More frequent cleaning of the BLADE is required when cutting fruity or sticky breads. Below is a picture of how the clean-in-place feature can be carried out. The clean-in-place access allows the operator to not have to remove the blade for daily cleaning.
CAUTION
ATTEMPTING TO SLICE PRODUCT WITH A DIRTY BLADE MAY CAUSE MOTOR OVERLOADS —
CLEAN THE BLADE FREQUENTLY.
The BLADE may also be removed for cleaning and is necessary when product is allowed to build up on the BLADE and dry. This may be a problem especially when cutting fruity or sticky breads. See “Changing the Blade” latter in this manual for instruction on how to remove the BLADE.
LUBRICATION
No lubrication is required. The motor is equipped with pre-lubricated sealed
bearings which require NO lubrication, DO NOT attempt to oil or grease the
motor.
