Construction and specifications
All stainless steel internal parts
All of the internal metal parts including the upper wheel, lower wheel, upper wheel hinge and the lower bearing housing are made with stainless steel.
Electrical control system
The magnetic switch system ensures consistent electrical contact which provides safety through dynamic braking and automatic overload protection.
Frame materials
The frame and food-contact parts are stainless steel for durability and sanitation.
Motor
The motor produces less heat and runs at a lower temperature by using a type “A” grade insulation. The motor also uses a cooling fan to reduce the possibility of overheating and an automatic over temperature shutdown sensor to prevent damage.
Protection against water damage
The upper wheel assembly and the lower bearing housing assembly are sealed against water damage allowing faster clean up and protection when cutting wet products.
Motor drive
The motor delivers power to the lower wheel through a V-belt drive system resulting in minimal vibration and noise. The motor is designed to maintain a high torque even at normal running speed.
Safety
A rolling table and hand guard provide safe and sanitary operation. If the door opens during operation, the installed sensor automatically shuts off the power.
Cleaning
Both the upper and lower wheels have cleaning devices ensuring improved durability and sanitation. The door is hinged and easily removed for cleaning. The installed scrap box allows quick removal of waste.
Thickness adjusting
The scaled shaft of the thickness adjusting plate allows a standardized and consistent product cut.

Installation and safe operation
Have a qualified electrician verify the delivered nameplate, grounding and connection. For a permanent connection, provide a lockable, manually operated disconnect as directed in the manual. Position the saw on a level, non-slip floor. Before first use, arrange an inspection and operating demonstration by an authorized representative. Only trained operators should use it, and only for food products.
Keep guards and interlocks fitted; never bypass them. Use the supplied pusher for small pieces, keep hands clear of the blade and do not force-feed. Never leave the running saw unattended. Disconnect power before adjustments, blade changes or removing covers and guards.
Cleaning and blade care
Clean thoroughly at least daily with a soft brush or cloth and water. Keep electrical parts and the motor-cover area dry, and refit removed parts before restarting. Empty the scrap box when two-thirds full. Follow the supplied blade-changing, tracking and tension instructions; do not overtighten the blade.
