Sharpening The Blade; Cleaning And Maintenance - Sammic GE-300 Mode D'emploi

5.1 Lubricating
In order to keep the product press and carriage sliding
movements fluid, the slicer must be lubricated regularly
in the points highlighted in fig. 3; use Vaseline oil only
(MARCOL 82 ESSO or WHITE OIL 105 BERGOIL),
apply sparingly but frequently.
6 SHARPENING OPERATIONS
If the slicer is to work properly, the blade must be kept
sharp. It is better to sharpen it a little daily than a lot
once a week.
Fig. 4 illustrates the correct sharpening sequence. Only
sharpen the blade when it is clean.
Sharpening a dirty blade results in poor sharpening and
soils the sharpening device and wheels.
After sharpening, use the brush supplied to remove any
traces of dirt from the wheels. In addition, every single
grain of sand must be removed from the blade and
machine using a cloth dampened with alcohol.
