OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued)

USING THE SPIRAL SLICER

Adjust the stop collar to allow the drive plate pins to come close but not touch the cutting blades.

FOR SARATOGA SWRILS

Remove the shredding blade and slicer pin weldment. The slicing blade must be positioned to the high

side of the blade mounting holes for proper cutting of Saratoga swirls. If the Saratoga swirls are not

loading onto the skewer properly, check the slicing blade mounting and adjust it to its maximum height.

Use the “S” blade when making Saratoga swirls.

NOTE: Be sure the adjustable set collar is positioned to prevent the drive plate from engaging the cutting

blade.

1. Cut about a 1/2" piece of the potato from one or both ends.

2. Insert wood skewer (Part No. 4159) into potato until it protrudes from opposite end of potato

about 1/2". Use the Potato Pierce (Part No. 63530) to create a hole through the potato.

3. Feed the long, empty portion of the skewer through the open slot next to the cutting blade.

4. Place the short, half-inch end of the skewer protruding from the potato into the hole in the drive

plate and firmly seat the potato onto the spikes of the drive plate.

5. Move the potato and drive assembly toward the blades.

6. Determined by your model, start rotating the crank arm of the manual slicer in a clockwise

manner or press the two red buttons on the motorized slicer.

7. Advance the potato towards the blade until it is fully engaged with the slicing blade.

8. Firmly push and/or crank until the drive assembly reaches the set collar. This should leave a

small slice of potato on the drive plate.

FOR ALL OTHER APPLICATIONS

1. Cut about a 1/2" piece of the potato from each end.

2. Firmly seat the potato or vegetable of choice on the drive plate.

3. Move the potato and drive assembly toward the blades.

4. Insert the center pin into the potato.

NOTE: Do not bury the center pin, shredding blade or cutting blade into the potato. This will

result in poor performance!!

5. Start rotating the crank arm in a clockwise manner or start the motor.

6. Slowly advance the crank arm, or power unit until the potato is fully engaged in the blade system

being used.

7. Firmly push and crank until potato is fully used.

TIPS FOR OPTIMAL PREFORMANCE

1. Always make sure the blades are firmly seated on the machine.

2. Make sure any wing nuts that hold on the slicing blades are vertical.

3. Do not push too hard. Push with a steady motion letting the machine and blades do the work.
