Hobart's HS8-1 13" heavy-duty manual slicer ensures the superior performance and enhanced safety you expect.

Designed for safety and functionality, this premium manual meat slicer brings greater efficiency and productivity to your kitchen! It can cut cheese and meat continuously and has many features that make cleaning up at the end of the day less of a hassle. Plus, this slicer has a zero-exposure knife design, innovative interlocks, and a no volt release system that requires the slicer be restarted if the power fails to reduce the risk of accidents.

Removable CleanCut Knife
This heavy-duty unit boasts a 13" CleanCut knife which is removable using the included tool for more efficient cleaning. The blade is made from a wear-resistant stellite alloy that will stay sharper and last two to three times longer than carbon-coated or stainless steel knives!

Easy to Clean Design
A new tilting, removable carriage system, removable meat grip arm, and a removable ring guard cover help to make cleaning this slicer even easier! Plus, the spring kickstand underneath the slicer helps you to lift it up so that you can clean underneath the base of the unit.

1/2 hp Motor
Thanks to its 1/2 hp motor and ample product carriage with a 12 1/2" manual travel, this unit can easily handle continuous slicing of meats. This unit is even powerful enough that it can cut cheeses.

Innovative Interlocks
Designed to ensure safer, more efficient operation, this slicer features several interlocks that can help prevent injuries. The home start interlock ensures that the carriage is in a convenient start position before starting the slicer. A close to stop interlock lets you turn off the slicer with the index knob. The carriage system interlock prevents the carriage from tilting away if the gauge plate indicator isn't closed. Finally, the automatic shutoff interlock turns the knife off after 30 seconds of inactivity.

1" Maximum Slice Thickness
This slicer can slice foods into pieces up to 1" thick. An adjustment knob makes choosing your slice size simple. Plus the double action indexing cam allows precise thick or thin slicing.

12" x 7 1/2" Max Product Size
This slicer's carriage can handle foods up to 12" wide by 7 1/2" high. This means you can slice anything from large hams to salami and pepperoni. Plus, the meat grip arm keeps the food firmly in place during slicing.

Built-In Sharpener
This slicer features a top mounted borazon stone sharpener that both hones and sharpens the blade. Using this feature, the blade can be completely sharpened in as little as 5 seconds.

Are you looking to specify a slicer that meets NSF-8 standards and keeps your client operating efficiently? The reliable performance of the Hobart HS series is your clear choice. It starts with a superior knife. The Hobart HS series features a 13" clean cut knife. Its stainless steel knife has a Stellite alloy edge that stays sharp longer. That means it lasts 3x longer than a stainless steel knife and 2x longer than a carbon knife. It also has a 45-degree cutting plain and machine grooves on the gauge plate, carriage tray, and knife cover to ensure a smooth and even strokes. It comes in three stroke lengths and four stroke speeds, but to get a superior slice it's important to look beyond the knife. The Hobart HS series slicer also features a large product tray that securely holds the product being sliced. That means your client gets more consistent slices, higher slice quality, and yield. The removable rear-mounted meat grip assembly ensures secure product placement. And finally, a Borazon sharpening stone ensures the knife stays sharp.
Ease of Use
Only Hobart gives the client zero knife exposure during sharpening and cleaning. The optional, patented knife removal system just takes a simple push and twist while keeping the knife edges totally protected. The Borazon sharpening stone comes with a lifetime guarantee and keeps the knife edge sharp. Our HS series anodized models also have six automatic interlock features, including: requiring a home start position, gauge plate and carriage system interlocks, close-to-stop interlock, a no-vault release, and 30-second shut-on.
Simple Cleaning
Our patented ring guard cover prevents debris build-up and it's easy for your clients to slide on or off. The angled gates plate design helps keep juices away from the index knob and control panel and the continuous 1-piece base reduces seams and gaps and enhances the ease and thoroughness of cleaning. Clean-up is simpler than ever with our exclusive tilting, removable carriage system and rear-mounted removable meat-grip arm. It also helps ensure thorough sanitation. The Borazon sharpening stone is also submersible and can be used either wet or dry. Lift and cleaning legs make it easy to reach and wipe underneath. The optional removable knife and removable tool can be placed in your sink or ware-washer as an assembly so that they can get fully washed.
