Introduction

The Oliver Bagel and Bun Slicer 702-N is a powerful tool when it comes to slicing bagels seamlessly in a fast manner. But when it comes to maintaining and replacing internal parts, it can seem daunting. The bagel slicer is composed of various individual parts where it seems impossible to even begin the process of disassembling the slicer. In addition, this is an outdated version so there isn't much support left of this product aside from digging through decades old articles.

The purpose of this guide is to help break down the process of disassembling and replacing the blade of the slicer in digestible parts so that anyone will be able to follow along the guide. The guide will include tips to encourage proper organization of parts and safety practices during disassembly. The photos will act as an essential visual aid so users can reference as they follow the guide so that they know they're following the guide correctly.

Although cut gloves aren't necessary for disassembly, we highly recommend wearing them as the blade is extremely sharp and improper usage can lead to moderate cuts. Some workplaces even require its employees to wear them as part of workplace safety. So please, keep your hands safe and put on cut gloves!
