2.2 Recommended Operation
The Whizard® Power Knife is a hand-held, motorized circular knife created especially for
slicing thin strips of cooked meat for sandwiches such as Gyros and Kabobs. This meat
comes pre-formed as a "cone", which is normally slow-cooked on a vertical oven or broiler.
SECTION 3.0 Function
3.1 Machine Functions
Cutting is accomplished by means of a circular blade driven by a low-voltage motor inside
the handle of the tool. The bottom
inner edge of this blade is ground and honed to razor
sharpness . An adjustable depth gauge determines how deep the blade is allowed to cut into
the meat, and also helps to guard the blade. The bottom of the Headpiece frame forms a
support on which to rest the Power Knife when not in use. This ensures that the sharp blade
edge is safely facing downward, and also allows the hot meat juices to drain from the blade.
SECTION 4.0 Safety Features
The Power Knife incorporates a safety trigger to minimize accidental starting of the tool and
an adjustable depth gauge which helps to guard the blade.
