MAINTENANCE
KNIFE SHARPENING
The Hobart Clean Cut
TM
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, the knife
will be expended in a shorter time.
Sharpen only when necessary, usually when slice quality starts to degrade; prolonged or too
frequent sharpening results in unnecessary knife wear.
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE MACHINE AND FOLLOW
LOCKOUT / TAGOUT PROCEDURES.
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 all
the way toward the operator end of the machine, start the
slicer with your right hand by pulling the Start/Pause Knob
until the slicer starts and hold it out (do not release it). Pull the
Sharpener Handle fully toward the operator for 5 seconds
(Fig. 9). Slowly release the Sharpener Handle. Push the
Start/Pause 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 and Sharpener
Use only Lubriplate FMO-200-AW food-safe lubricant,
supplied with the slicer. To apply oil, pull out the telescoping
tube on the oil bottle, aim the tube and squeeze gently on the
sides of the bottle. Apply 5 drops every month (depending on
usage) in the Wick Hole on the Carriage Transport; or, apply
5 drops directly on the Carriage Slide Rod on each side of the
Carriage Transport (Fig.10) once each month. After applying
the oil, move the Carriage Tray back and forth so the oil
spreads over the entire length of the slide rod. Also, apply 1
drop on both slots of the sharpener plunger and on the
sharpener shaft (Fig.
11).
OVERLOAD RESET BUTTON — MODEL 2912B
Push the reset button underneath the slicer near the right-
front foot if the carriage motor overloads.
