plugged. Hold the blades by the plastic guards and insert them
into the power handle with the serrated edge facing the under-
sideofthepowerhandle.Slidethebladesintothepowerhandle
as far as they will go. Push slightly on each plastic guard
towards the power handle, to insure both blades are fully
engaged with the power handle. You will hear a click as each
blade is engaged with the power handle. Note: Blade tips may
not be even.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or in the event the appliance malfunctions, or is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto
Factory Service Department or to the nearest Presto Autho-
rized Service facility for examination, repair or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
3. Plug cord into a 120 volt AC outlet. Be sure to remove the
plastic safety sheath. Press the ON-OFF switch and simply
guide the blades through the food. It is not necessary to use a
sawingmotion.Tostoptheblades,releasetheON-OFFbutton.
Note: Your Presto electric knife is designed to cut through
thick bread crusts, cheese, sausage and other meats and fish
with ease. If however, the knife is held incorrectly and one or
both of the blade release buttons is accidentally pushed during
operation, the blades will disengage. As a result, the knife may
stall or will not cut properly. Be sure to position your hand
behind the blade release buttons during operation.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
