Hobart 5212F manual Gauge Plate, Pusher Plate

GAUGE PLATE

When making several cuts of the same thickness, set the gauge plate (Fig. 7) by turning the adjusting knob. A reference scale on the table indicates thickness of cut. If the gauge plate is not needed, you may lift the adjusting knob, disengaging the rack teeth, and slide it to the rear; or raise the gauge plate to a vertical position and slide it out of the way.

The adjustable gauging pin (Fig. 7) permits you to slide the gauge plate out of the way and then back to the original position at a later time. To set the pin, adjust the gauge plate to the desired position. Loosen the gauging pin hand knob (Fig. 7) and slide the pin against the gauge plate support stop. Tighten the gauging pin hand knob.

PUSHER PLATE

The pusher plate is used to hold meat against the gauge plate when slicing short ends. Dowels in the pusher plate and a stop on the right "flanged-end" of the carriage is provided for proper positioning of the pusher plate. Hold the pusher plate handle with your right hand and always maintain a safe distance from the blade. When not in use, keep the pusher plate under the carriage support (Fig. 7).
