The shaped front edge of the carriage is comfortable to the operator's body even when leaned on during movement. The carriage lock is standard. Instead of the rolling carriage, model 5212F has a stationary cutting table often used for poultry cutting. Table, carriage, pulleys, guides, and wiper assemblies can be quickly removed without tools for ease of cleaning. Moving parts are enclosed but accessible. The blade is guarded above and below the cutting zone. The pusher plate is provided to eliminate the need of handling items close to the blade; it can ride on the right "flanged-end" of the carriage so you keep your hands away from the cutting edge of the blade. The 5212 and 5212F Meat Saws have a 2 HP motor controlled by a push-pull switch knob located on the front of the saw (Fig. 1). For electrical specifications above 250 volts, a transformer provides a 115 volt control circuit voltage (optional on lower voltages). Thermal overload protection is an option. One long-life blade is furnished with each saw as standard equipment. This blade cannot be resharpened; replacement blades are available through your local Hobart Service Office.

To remove the head door for cleaning, open the door and lift straight up off the hinge pins. Fig. 2 Upper Back-Up Block Upper Guide – 3 – LOWER GUIDE AND WIPER ASSEMBLY The lower guide and wiper assembly fits in the slideway of the wiper bracket (Fig. 3). The blade fits in the slots of both the steel guide and the nylon guard. Wipers fit on both sides of the blade. This assembly includes a wiper for wiping the lower pulley during use. TABLE In use, the table is aligned and supported by the locator block (Fig. 3) and four table rests (Fig. 4) fastened to the machine base. When aligned properly, the table is secured to the base when the tongue of the table is inserted in its slot (Fig. 4) and the table clamp is latched down (Fig. 5). To remove the table, raise the gauge plate to its vertical position. Release the table clamp on the left side. Shift the table to the left, freeing the tongue from its slot. Lift table by its front side to remove. To reinstall the table, tilt the front side of the table up so the rectangular hole on the rear side goes around the base of the column. Lower the table to the base. Raise the left end of the table and slide it to the right so the tongue on the right side fits in its slot. Lower the left end of the table. Align so the pins of the table rests are outside of the table support angles. The rectangular hole in the front table support angle straddles the locator block. When the table is in proper position, latch the table rod with the table clamp (Fig. 5).
