3.5.3 When use a 2 phase plug, it should be reliably earthed.

 

3.6 Test-run the machine without loading

3.6.1 Before test-run the machine, you should carefully check the tightness and damage of  blade cover, carrier , blade and other parts and spread the oil on the surface of square orbit and circle orbit.

3.6.2 Press the button to exam if the blade works or not, to exam if there is something unusual happens.

3.6.3 If there is nothing unusual happens, you can use the machine after three minutes unloading work.




3.7 Blade grinding               

3.7.1The round blade of the meat slicer is made by high-quality wear-resistant tool steel , the edge of the blade has been sharpened by the manufacturer before-sale.

3.7.2 The round blade may turn dull after use and you can choose the grinding stone carried with the equipment to regrind, repeatedly and timely. Before sharpening the blade, you should clean the oil spill to avoid it stains on the wheel, If the wheel is stained by the oil, you can use brush and alkaline water to clean the grinding stone.

3.7.3 When the sharpen is not working, grinding stone should be kept away from 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.



3.7.4 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 hands, making grinding stone touch the blade, and rotating blades driven wheel, then the blade can be sharpened.

when sharpen the blade,you should press the end of grinding shaft by hands in the aim of repair edge burr, please do not grinding excessively.

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.



3.7.5 Sharpening effect

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

If the blade edge appears sharp burr, it proves that the blade is sharp enough and sharpening is finished. Otherwise you can repeat the process until you feel satisfied.

3.7.7After repeated regrinding, the diameter of the blade will become smaller. 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 keep their distance at 2mm, then tight the screw.

Attention: The blade needs to be changed when its diameter reduced by 12mm.




3.8  Slicing thickness adjustment

3.8.1 The slicing thickness is the distance between the blade and locking board.

3.8.2 Counterclockwise the handle bar, the slice becomes thick, clockwise the handle bar, slice thin.

3.8.3 When adjusting the thickness of the slice to thick, please remember to eliminate the transmission gap. The solution is first enlarge the slicing thickness then decrease to the 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.

                       




3.9 Melting meat

3.9.1 If the frozen meat is too hard, it is easy to appear fragments when cut thin slices; when cut thick slice the resistance may too large and likely to cause motor stall, or even burn the motor, so the meat must be melt (put frozen meat in the incubator, the process that the temperature of the meat both inside and outside rise slowly called melting the meat.

3.9.2 Meat thickness less than 1.5mm, suitable meat temperature both inside and outside is -4? (put the frozen meat in the refrigerator that has been cut off power for eight hours ). . Press the meat with a fingernail ,the surface of the meat may appear impression

3.9.3 Slice thickness more than 1.5mm, the meat temperature should be higher than -4 ° C . And as the thickness increases, the temperature of meat should also be increased correspondingly.                                             

3.10 Change the blade
