OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Important
1. To get the best operation and life from your machine, please read and comply with these instructions.
2. Clean machine thoroughly before and after each use using cleaning instructions below.
3. Minimize the use of alkaline cleaners as they may cause pitting and dulling of the finish.
Safety Instructions
Remember that the blades are VERY SHARP; be careful when handling and operating the machine to keep hands away from
the cutting edges.
Operation of Easy Chopper II
1. Place the chopper on a firm work surface.
2. Prepare the produce to be chopped (core, cut, slice to your specifications).
3. Lift HANDLE and place the produce on the blades.
4. Remove hand/fingers from the cutting area and with a strong, quick thrust, bring the PUSH BLOCK down to force the produce
through the BLADES. Lift and repeat.
5. Clean the machine after chopping is completed using cleaning instructions below.
Caution: Do not attempt to chop produce larger than the opening in the BLADE HOLDER.
Note: Additional blade and PUSH BLOCK sets can be purchased seperately. Be sure to always use a PUSH BLOCK and blade set
that are compatible or damage to the machine may result. To check for compatibility, make sure the pusher fingers mesh with the
blade set.
To cut 1/4” and 1/2”, use 1/4” PUSH BLOCK
To cut 3/8” and 1”, use 3/8” PUSH BLOCK
To Clean
1. Remove the PUSHER assembly, BUMPERS and BLADE AND HOLDER ASSEMBLY off the GUIDE RODS.
2. Thoroughly wash the PUSHER assembly, the BLADE ASSEMBLY, and the FRAME.
3. The PUSH BLOCK can be removed from the PUSH BLOCK GUIDE by removing THUMBSCREWS for further cleaning.
4. The chopping BLADE AND HOLDER ASSEMBLY may also be totally disassembled for further cleaning as follows:
a) Remove the SCREWS and the BLADE HOLDER PLATE.
b) Gently tap the BLADES and the BLADE SPACERS from the BLADE HOLDER.
5. To Reassemble:
a) Place the BLADE HOLDER on a table top with the BLADE SPACER pockets upward.
b) Insert the 4 BLADE SPACERS with their slots toward the inner opening of the BLADE HOLDER.
c) Insert BLADES with sharp edge downward and slots upward.

e) Reposition the BLADE HOLDER PLATE and secure with SCREWS.
6. Reposition BLADE AND HOLDER assembly, the BUMPERS, and the PUSHER assembly on the FRAME.
Chopping Tips
Cut produce before chopping and place a cut surface against the BLADES. Onions and tomatoes dice best if cut from top to bottom.
They may be cut in half, or if smaller dices are desired, they can be cut several times in this direction.
To Lubricate
When needed, lubricate the GUIDE RODS with Mineral Oil, Food Grade Grease, or rub them with Paraffin.
DO NOT LUBRICATE WITH COOKING OIL – IT GETS STICKY!
TO REPLACE BLADES OR BLADE SPACERS
If necessary, the BLADES and/or BLADE SPACERS can be replaced. To do this, follow Instruction 4-5 of TO CLEAN.
