TROUBLESHOOTING
To prevent damage, your Apple Machines must be adjusted properly before each use. Refer to the following instructions each time you set up your machine and you will enjoy years of trouble-free service.
All Models
Be sure Slicer/Corer Blade is facing the right way
When using the slicer/corer blade, be sure the flanged end of the blade faces away from the 3-pronged forks and the support plate is in the proper position. (See diagram below)
All Models
Align Corer or Slicer/Corer Blade
Release the shaft release the lever and push the shaft in. Align the slicer/corer with the 3-pronged fork so that there is an even space around the 3-pronged fork. (See diagram at right).
Model #860
Face Paring Knife Blade the right way
If the paring knife blade has been removed for cleaning, be sure it is facing the right way before using it. (See diagram at right)
Models #861, 864, 865, 866
Adjust Paring Knife Blade
The correct setting should have the peeling blade approximately even with the rounded end of the holder. To adjust for proper peeling thickness for different varieties of apples, loosen the wing nut and move the blade forward or back slightly, i.e. 1/32″ until you obtain the desired peeling depth. Make sure there is an even space between the older head and the lade as shown. Hold firmly in the desired position and tighten the wing nut securely. Note: By moving the blade forward (away from the holder) more apples will be peeled and by moving the blade back, fewer apples will be peeled. (See diagram above).
