De Buyer Viper Mandoline Manuel D'utilisation page 13

6- Slider and pusher
• The Viper mandoline is supplied complete with receptacle and pus-
her. The receptacle holds the items to be cut. The slider (receptacle)
and pusher are essential for using the mandoline in complete safety.
• Simply slide the receptacle onto the mando-
line frame. It will then not come off its rails
during cutting.
• Place the items to be cut in the receptacle
(large fruits and vegetables must first be cut
into smaller pieces).
• Ensure that the receptacle is well centred on the frame. Push the
pusher against the fruit / vegetables to be cut. The needles enter the
item to stop it from rolling and the spring applies constant pressure
on the item during the cutting process. Depending on the hardness
of the item, press on the ejector for greater ease during the cutting
process.
PUSHER ROTATION CONTROL SYSTEM
• The receptacle and pusher unit has a rotation-adjustment system to
make it easy to cut cubes and lozenges, and to make a julienne cut.

• The slider stop limits the pusher's rotation in both directions, ena-
bling regular cuts to be made.
• The stop also acts as a pusher support, and enables you to keep a
straight line when making julienne cuts.
