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.
Warning: This product can expose you to chemicals including Nickel and Chromium Hexavalent Compounds,

Planning and operation
The GBS-450S uses two-hand starting controls and a 126-inch blade running at 5,000 ft/min. Its loading opening is 15½ × 18⅜ inches, with a 34 × 36-inch work table. Verify the delivered 208 V, 60 Hz, three-phase connection with a qualified installer.
Read the supplied operating instructions before use. Keep guards and interlocks in place, keep hands away from the blade, and switch off and disconnect power before accessing moving parts for cleaning or service.
Model-specific maintenance
Lubricate the table wheels and tension handle daily with edible oil, and the upper blade-guide support bar with food-grade oil. Follow the manual’s lubrication-point instructions. The upper wheel and lower wheel/bearing housing need two to four grease-gun strokes every 30 days as needed. If the motor has grease fittings, apply bearing grease every six months as directed.
