Installation, Operation, and Care of
MODEL 5801 MEAT SAW
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The 5801 Meat Saw is rugged, durable, and easy to clean. The saw is equipped with a water resistant
3 HP electric motor and direct gear drive transmission that provides a blade speed of 3500 feet per
minute. The carriage (Fig.1) has stainless steel ball bearings providing easy travel and dependability.
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. The upper pulley cover and baffle (Fig. 1) are standard in
durable plastic, optional in stainless steel.
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.
For electrical specifications above 250 volts, a transformer provides a 115 volt control circuit voltage.
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.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
Immediately after unpacking the meat saw, check for possible shipping damage. If the meat saw is
found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to make sure it agrees with the specifications on the
machine data plate located on the column.
Packed in a packet attached to the table compartment are the pusher plate and the gauge plate handle.
Place the pusher plate in its storage location under the carriage support (Fig. 2). Assemble the gauge
plate handle to the gauge plate support by screwing the stud into the threaded hole (Fig. 3).
LEVELING
Place the saw in its operating location. Using a spirit level, level the meat saw front-to-back and sideto-side by turning the threaded feet in or out.

UPPER GUIDE AND GUARD ASSEMBLY
Upper Guide
and Guard
When the saw is off, the hand knob (Fig. 4) can be
used to raise or lower the upper guide and guard
assembly so the cutting zone is only as high as

necessary for the piece being cut. The hand knob is
not loosened during raising or lowering — it should
remain tightly secure.

UPPER PULLEY COVER (Plastic - Standard)
The plastic upper pulley cover (Fig. 5) should be installed on the two hinge-retainers at the top and
securely latched at the bottom during use. To remove the plastic upper pulley cover for cleaning,
release the latch at the bottom and remove from the hinge-retainers at the top.
UPPER PULLEY COVER (Stainless Steel - Optional)
The stainless steel upper pulley cover (Fig. 1) should be installed on the two hinge pins of the stainless
steel upper pulley baffle and securely latched during saw use. To remove the stainless steel upper
pulley cover for cleaning, unlatch and open the stainless steel upper pulley cover; then, lift straight up
off the hinge pins.
LOWER COVER (Scrap Pan)
During use, the lower cover (Fig. 5) acts as a scrap pan, accumulating bone dust and debris from the
blade scrapers and pulley wiper that are located on the lower panel (Fig. 6). To remove the lower cover
(scrap pan) for cleaning, release the clip at the top; pull out and lift the lower cover from the groove
at the bottom of the lower panel.

PL-40848-1
Two blade scrapers wipe the blade during sawing to accumulate bone dust and debris inside the lower
cover (scrap pan). The left scraper points up and the right scraper points down (Fig. 6). After the blade
is removed, the scrapers can slide off their mounting blocks for cleaning.
PULLEY WIPER
The pulley wiper (Fig. 6) scrapes bone dust or debris from the lower pulley during use. The pulley wiper
can be removed for cleaning by springing the wiper up and sliding it off the pins.
