KNIFE SHARPENING
The CleanCut

 will provide long service in normal food retail or commercial kitchen use.
Sharpen only when necessary; prolonged or too frequent sharpening results in unnecessary
K

 wear.  The S
HARPEN
 K
NIFE
 indicator light (Fig. 9 or Fig. 10) will come on after a factory-preset
number of slicing strokes to indicate when sharpening is needed.  This number has been set to
represent a typical operation.  Your operation may need more frequent sharpening.

LUBRICATION — Carriage Slide Rod
The slicer lubrication system requires that the reservoirs under the C
ARRIAGE
 T
RANSPORT
 be refilled with
Lubriplate FMO-200-AW oil (supplied) after approximately 1 year of operation for a manual slicer
(model 3813) and after approximately 6 months of operation on an automatic slicer (model 3913).
Typical operation is estimated to be 3 hours of slicing per day.  To check whether the reservoirs are
empty, lift up the right side of the slicer base and allow the L
IFT
 A
SSIST
 to support the machine (Fig. 18).
Leave the P
RODUCT
 T
RAY
 in place on the C
ARRIAGE
 T
RANSPORT
.
Look through the C
ARRIAGE

level in the C
LEAR

 (Fig. 30).  A flashlight (not supplied) might be
helpful.  To replenish the oil reservoirs: Remove the S
