5.3 SHARPENING THE BLADE
WARNING: Before proceeding with blade sharpen-
ing, remain alert to the RESIDUAL RISKS (see 1.2.2)
that refer to the hazard of injury if the instructions
below are not followed.
The blade must be sharpened periodically and as
soon as it becomes blunt; the detailed instructions
below are to be followed:
• clean the blade accurately with alcohol to remove
grease after the plug has been disconnected
from the socket;
• unscrew the knob (1, Fig.5a), lift (a) the sharpen-
er (2, Fig.5a) up to the locking position and rotate
it 180°.
Then let it move to the end so that the blade is posi-
tioned between the two sharpeners. Lock the knob;
• switch-on the slicer by pushing the button "I"
(ON);
• push the small button (3, Fig. 5b), let the blade
rotate against the sharpener for 30/40 sec. to
produce a sharp burr on the blade edge;
• push buttons simultaneously for 3/4 seconds (3
and 4, Fig 5c) and then leave them simultaneously;
• it is recommended to clean the sharpeners upon
the end of sharpening (see 6.2.3);
• once sharpening has been completed, return
the slice to its original setting with the reverse
procedure.
NOTE: Do not prolong the burring operation beyond
3/4 sec. in order to prevent the dangerous twisting
of the blade cutting edge.
