SECTION 2.0 Designated Use
2.1 Warning
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.
