cuts even when not rotating. Never operate the meat slicing machine without the guard
installed, and remove the guard only for cleaning and maintenance. Wear steel mesh gloves
whenever using or maintaining the meat slicing machine. Failure to observe safety
precautions may result in injury or death to personnel.
1. Turn OFF slicer and disconnect electrical cord before cleaning. Leave protective guard (1) in place.

brush is recommended. Use only warm water and mild soap.
