The Globe G14 Food Slicer is a manual slicer designed for medium-duty use, with a recommended cutting time of 3-6 hours per day. It is equipped with a ½ HP motor that operates the blade through a reliable belt drive. The 14" blade is made from a special alloy and has a hard chromed edge for reduced drag and better edge retention. The slicer can handle products up to 10-½" long, 11-½" wide, or 9-¾" in diameter. It allows for slices up to 9/16" in thickness. Operating the slicer is easy with moisture-proof on/off switches. The handle is ergonomically designed and provides precise control over the chute. The chute slides smoothly thanks to ball bearings. The slicer comes with a NEMA 5-15 plug and a 6 ft. power cord for use with standard 115/60/1-ph power. The slicer has enhanced features, including a chute and end weight that can accommodate 10.5" tall products. The pyramid-shaped end weight teeth improve product gripping for better slice quality. It also has a knife cover interlock, non-slip rubber feet, a 35° angled food chute, and a metal bottom base enclosure. Other features include a no voltage release relay system, a permanently attached knife ring guard, a top-mounted all-metal knife sharpener, and motor overload protection with manual reset. The slicer also has an oversized positive traction grooved belt drive, a moisture-proof on/off switch and knife hub, and a removable chute, slice deflector, and knife sharpener for easy cleaning. It has sealed splash zones for added sanitation and protection of electronics. The slicer is made of anodized aluminum with seamless edges and radius corners. The underside of the end weight has gripping teeth for stability when slicing taller products. The extended rod, end weight, and chute can accommodate products up to 10.5" in length. The 14" knife is hard chromed for longer-lasting performance and easier sharpening. Optional items for the slicer include a food fence, a large slicer cover, and a vegetable hopper.
