Important Safety Aspects
Caution:
Pay careful attention when working with your PowerLine slicer!
Before using your PowerLine slicer, it is essential to read the
instructions and rinse the product under running water. Never
touch the slicer's very sharp blades; touch only the plastic parts.
While using the V-Slicer use extra care when children are present.
Never allow children to touch or to play with the slicer. Try to store
your PowerLine slicer and its inserts in the safety box and keep
these sharp tools out of the reach of children.
Always use the Safety-Holder (B)!
Safety Holder
Usable with every Börner slicer
Attention:
Incorrect use of the Safety Holder may
result in injury and will damage the blades of your
V-Slicer. The unique design of the Safety Holder
allows you to safely slice fruits and vegetables with
precision and virtually no waste, while protecting
your fingers from the sharp metal blades.
If necessary, peel the fruit before slicing. Put onions,
cabbage, etc. with root ends into the holder first,
so that the button on top is pushed up. Large
fruits or vegetables must be halved or quartered
before putting into the holder. Slide the holder
continuously with light pressure in the direction of
the arrows down past the V-blades and back up
again. When the fruit is cut to the holder, push down
the button on top of the holder and cut the rest of
the fruit.
Slice Insert
The Slice Insert is adjustable in height and can be
used in five different positions. The slicer always
comes with the Slice Insert in position 5 (the "SAFE"
setting, where the blades are covered). Always
store your V-Slicer in the SAFE position after use. To
unlock the Slice Insert from the childproof locked
position, push the coloured button on the sidebar of
the frame with your index finger or with your thumb,
while holding the V-Slicer frame securely with your
other hand. Release the insert by light pressure.
Once the arrows on both the frame and the insert
are aligned, the insert can be removed.
Caution:
Never touch the insert close to the blades;
always handle the insert from its wide end, farthest
away from the blades.
Inserting the Slice Insert:
Note the arrows on both sidebars of the frame
and also on the sides of the insert. Slide the insert
into the frame, where the arrows on both sides
align with those on the V-Slicer frame. The insert
now locks automatically into position 1 and your
slicer is ready for use. If you wish to cut slices of a
different thickness, push the insert forward one or
more levels, as shown in the illustration, until you
hear it click into the desired position. To activate
the childproof lock, push the Slice Insert all the way
forward into position 5 (the "SAFE" setting). The
blades are covered in this position and cannot cut.
The metal blades of your V-Slicer are extremely sharp!
