Machine parts and their locations
Attention: For proper use and service please carefully read this chapter and get familiar with the parts and their locations.

1. locking board
2. plastic board
3. grinding stool
4. protect circle
5. presser
6. blade
7. slide bracket
8. table
9. carrier
10. handle bar

Lubrication

1. Turn over the machine, spread the lubricating oil on the surface of square orbit and circle orbit every 7 day.
2. Spread food oil on the slide bracket.
   
   Attention: Turn off the switch and cut off the power of the machine when spread the oil.

Power wire connection

1. The power switch is located on the left side of the machine. The ring light will light up on the “ON” button is pressed and the slicer is turned on; the machine will be turned off when the “OFF” button is pressed.
2. In the connection power line, the equipment power supply needs to be connected to the power grid through an external leakage protection switch with sufficient current capacity. The leakage action value is 30mA, and the operation time is <0.1S. (This device is not equipped with this device).
3. Equipotential: The equipotential bonding in an electrical appliance is to connect the exposed metal and conductive parts of the electrical equipment and other devices to the conductors of the artificial or natural grounding body to reduce the potential difference (reduce and prevent the risk of electric shock).

Test-run the machine without product

1. Before initial startup carefully check the tightness and condition of blade cover, carrier, blade and other parts and apply oil to the surface of square orbit and circle orbit.
2. Press the power switch and confirm the blade is properly rotating.
3. Please run for 3 minutes before loading with product.

Blade grinding

1. The round blade of the meat slicer is made of high-quality, wear-resistant steel, the edge of the blade has been sharpened by the manufacturer before-sale.

2. The blade may dull after daily use. The grinder comes with a sharpening stone that can be used repeatedly. Before sharpening the blade, you should clean the sharpening stone to prevent discoloration to the blade.

3. When the sharpener is not working, the grinding stone should be kept away from the blade, when it works, it should get close to the blade. The method to change the position: Hold the wheel cover to the proper height, rotate 180 ° and then press the locking knob.
   Attention: The height of the sharpener is limited by a stud, and elongation of the stud can be adjusted.

4. The sharpener is equipped with two grinding wheels, one is for sharpening wheel, the other one is for the repair of the edge. Press the button when sharpening the blade, rotate the blade and press the end of grinding shaft by hand, allowing the grinding stone to touch the blade. When sharpening the blade, you should press the end of grinding shaft by hand and press the end of grinding shaft by hand, allowing the grinding stone to touch the blade.

5. Attention:

   • Slightly press the grinding shaft, better to produce little spark.
   • Adjust the position of the grinding stone to make the grinding stone locates on the front side of blade but can not touch the edge of the blade.

6. Sharpening
   Loosen the stone axis and press button to make the stone out of the blade, press the button, to stop the blade, and observe the sharpening effect. Check the blade for burrs and insure that it is sharp. If the blade is still dull you can repeat the process until you feel satisfied.
   Attention: Please don’t use finger to test whether the blade is sharp or not, this could result in serious injury!

7. Clean the steel and grinding stone residue from the machine. When clean the blade, you can remove the protection cover.
   Attention: Do not submerse the unit in water or use harsh chemicals for cleaning.

8. After repeated regrinding; the blades diameter will be reduced. When the distance between locking board and the edge of the blade is more than 5mm, please loosen the screw on the back of the locking board, move the locking board towards the blade and adjust to 2mm, then tighten the screw.
   Attention: The blade needs to be changed when its diameter reduced by 12mm.

Slicing thickness adjustment

1. The slicing thickness is the distance between the blade and locking board.
2. Turning the adjustment handle counterclockwise creates a thicker slice; turn the adjustment handle clockwise for a thinner slice.
3. When adjusting the thickness of the slice, please remember to eliminate the transmission gap. The solution is first to enlarge the slicing thickness then decrease to desired thickness. When adjusting the thickness of the slice to thin, don’t need to eliminate the transmission gap, directly adjust to the desired thickness.

Change the blade

1. Remove the blade cover: Remove the carrier away from the blade. Unscrew the rod from the back of the machine. Remove the blade cover.
