SPECIFICATIONS
Motors: Knife motor is 1-speed, 1/2hp totally enclosed and
permanently lubricated ball bearings, thermally protected.
Table motor is brushless DC providing three fixed speeds, 20,
40 or 60 slices per minute. Three stroke lengths in the
automatic mode, provide more slices/minute at the same
speed.
Electrical: Furnished in 115/60/1, 7 amp, AC, ETL Listed,
with 3-wire cord and plug. Power options noted on page 1.
Finish/Construction: Base, product table, pusher, support
arm and upper housing are constructed of FDA approved,
engineered polymers reducing the number of seams. Gauge
plate and center plate are anodized aluminum. All controls are
sealed and located out of the drip zone.
Knife: 13" (330mm) diameter, hollow ground, hardened and
polished stainless steel.
Knife Sharpener: Removable and submersible table
mounted, two stone, dual action design to ensure correct
pressure and contact angle are always applied, thus reducing
knife wear and delivering a perfect edge. Borazon
stones last longer, sharpen faster and clean easier.
Thickness Control: Index knob controls a precision, variable
pitch barrel cam with ultra-fine adjustment in the first revolu-
tion and opens to a thickness of 1-5/16" (34 mm) for accurate
and consistent slicing. This control is located out of the drip
zone on the upper left to provide quick and easy access for
operation and cleaning.
Gauge Plate Interlock: Mechanical interlock using twisted
wire, aircraft cables. Table must be in the home position and
gauge plate closed to remove table. Once table is removed, the
gauge plate can not be opened.
