12-Inch Blade German Knife Heavy-Duty Manual Meat Slicer — GS-12M
GS-12M
Product overview
The German Knife GS-12M is a manual-feed slicer with an electrically powered knife. Move the food chute using its handle while the end weight holds boneless, unfrozen food in position. Its gear-driven knife motor has no drive belt to adjust or replace.
- 12-inch knife: Adjust the gauge plate from tissue-thin slices to 1 inch thick.
- 1/2 HP knife motor: Gear-driven cutting without a knife-drive belt.
- Manual feed: Operator-controlled chute travel using the handle and end weight.
Construction and cutting features
The stainless-steel receiving plate and food-contact surfaces are easy to clean and resist chipping and peeling. The German-made, corrosion-resistant knife is designed for precise cuts and longer edge retention between sharpening. Self-lubricating Nytratron polymer worm gears made in Germany drive the knife without a belt.
A heavy stainless-steel end weight and operator-side weight rod hold food firmly, including small remaining pieces. The ergonomic chute handle and oil-lubricated upper and lower slide shafts support smooth manual travel. A top-mounted sharpener, permanent knife ring guard and interlocking knife cover are built into the machine.
Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals including Nickel and Chromium Hexavalent Compounds,
which are known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

Installation and safe operation
Install on a solid, level, non-slip surface in a well-lit work area with space for full chute travel and cleaning. Fit the rubber feet, use at least two people to lift the slicer and connect its three-prong plug to a properly grounded receptacle that matches the delivered rating plate. Do not remove the grounding prong or use an adapter.
Operation is restricted to trained, authorized adults aged 18 or older who have read the complete manual. Keep the knife cover, ring guard and sharpener cover fitted, with the safety wall chart posted nearby. Slice only boneless, unfrozen products. Use the chute handle and end weight, keep hands away from the knife and moving parts, and let slices fall onto the receiving area rather than catching them by hand. Switch off and close the gauge plate before repositioning, loading or unloading food.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean and sanitize as often as necessary and at least daily. Switch off, unplug and close the gauge plate before cleaning or removing parts; never clean with the knife running. Leave the knife and permanent ring guard installed. Follow the complete cleaning procedure using mild detergent and warm water, rinse and dry as directed, and keep moisture out of the knife hub.
Do not put parts in a dishwasher, hose down the machine, pressure wash it or use abrasive or caustic cleaners. Do not immerse the sharpener. Lubricate chute slide rods with the specified mineral oil weekly or when movement becomes stiff; never use vegetable oil. Follow the separate guarded sharpening procedure rather than attempting to remove the blade.
Accessories and warranty
A vegetable hopper is available separately; confirm the exact accessory and fit before ordering. Review the current written warranty for the supplied machine before ordering.
