MAINTENANCEKNIFE SHARPENING
The Hobart cast stainless steel knife will provide long service in normal food retail 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.
Sharpen only when necessary; prolonged or too frequent sharpening results in unnecessary
knife wear.
WARNING: UNPLUG MACHINE POWER CORD.
Turn the index knob fully clockwise to close the gauge plate. Remove the Top Knife Cover by rotating
the Latch Knob counterclockwise and lifting it off the slicer. Thoroughly wash the area around the knife,
the exposed knife surfaces, and the knife edge. Fat from meat or cheese should not be allowed to
transfer from the knife to the sharpener.
Plug in machine power cord. With the carriage tray
pulled fully forward, start the slicer with your right
hand by pulling the start switch forward and holding
it out. If the sharpener handle is the type that does
not hang downwards, pull it fully forward for 5 seconds
(Fig. 11). If the sharpener handle does hang
downwards, lift it with your left hand until horizontal
and pull forward for 5 seconds (Fig. 11). Slowly
release the sharpener handle. Release the switch
knob to turn the slicer off. If necessary, repeat
sharpening for another 5 seconds.
Unplug machine power cord. Wipe the slicer with a
clean damp cloth to remove any grinding particles.
Replace the Top Knife Cover.
LUBRICATION — Carriage Slide Rod
Lubricate the Carriage Slide Rod with Lubriplate
FMO-200-AW oil (supplied). Either squirt 8 – 10
drops every 2 – 3 months (depending on usage) in
the Wick Hole on the Carriage Transport (Fig.12).
Or, once monthly, apply 4 – 5 drops directly on the
Carriage Slide Rod on each side of the Carriage
Transport (Fig.12).
To apply oil, pull out the telescoping tube on the oil
bottle, aim the tube, and squeeze gently on the
sides of the bottle. After applying oil, move the
Carriage Tray back and forth a few times so the oil
spreads over the entire length of the slide rod.
OVERLOAD RESET BUTTON — MODEL 2912
Push the reset button underneath the slicer near the right-front foot if the carriage motor overloads.
