Using the Berkel X13-Plus meat slicer is easy. First, make sure it's plugged in and the power LED lights up. You can adjust the slice thickness using the variable pitch barrel cam. Place the meat on the product table and use the meat pusher to advance it evenly. The ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to move the table. When it comes to safety, always keep your hands away from the knife. After a power interruption, remember that the no-volt release requires you to restart the slicer. Also, the permanent ring guard protects the non-slicing part of the knife, but still be careful. For maintenance, the slicer is designed for easy cleaning. The one-piece polymer base and table reduce seams, and the removable sharpener can be submerged. You can use the kickstand to clean under the slicer. Regularly check the knife for dullness and use the borazon sharpening stones to keep it sharp. And don't forget to lubricate the ball bearings of the knife motor as recommended.
