MAINTENANCE

KNIFE SHARPENING

Your slicer knife will provide long service in normal deli, food store, or commercial kitchen use. However, in high volume applications where it is a practice to sharpen the knife frequently or even daily, the knife will be expended in a shorter time.

WARNING: UNPLUG MACHINE POWER CORD.

Remove the carriage by loosening the carriage hand knob and lifting it from its support.

With the index knob turned fully clockwise and the knife guard in place, carefully wash the area around the knife and all exposed knife surfaces (front and back).

Set the index knob at approximately 91⁄2. Remove the sharpener from its storage position in the base of the slicer. The sharpener is secured by its thumb screw in a hole on the carriage side of the base of the slicer. Remove the thumb screw and mount the sharpener in the notch on top of the gauge plate as shown in Fig. 3. Tighten the thumb screw against the hole in the gauge plate.

Plug in the power cord and press the on-off switch to start the slicer. Slowly turn the index knob clockwise to grind the beveled (back) edge of the knife. Use light pressure when grinding the knife. Grind only until a burr appears on the front edge of the knife.

Turn off the slicer and inspect for a burr on the front edge

of the knife. Repeat grinding as necessary until the knifeFig. 3 edge is burred.

When a burr appears, start the slicer and turn the index knob counterclockwise to lightly engage the truing wheel. After three seconds, turn the index knob clockwise so that neither stone touches the knife.

Turn off the slicer, UNPLUG MACHINE POWER CORD, remove the sharpener, and turn the index knob fully clockwise. Replace the sharpener in its storage position.

Wipe the slicer with a clean damp cloth to remove any grinding particles.

LUBRICATION

The carriage slide rod underneath the slicer and the gauge plate slide rod should be lubricated with a light coating of "food grade" oil. Contact your local Hobart Service Office for the recommended lubricant.

DO NOT lubricate the meat grip slide rod.

The motor has sealed bearings and requires no lubrication maintenance.

WEAR ADJUSTMENT

After several years of operation and many sharpenings of the knife, it may become necessary to have the gauge plate adjusted closer to the knife. Contact your local Hobart Service Office if this service becomes necessary as it must be done by an authorized Hobart Service Technician.
