ASTM F1126-03

Standard Specification for Food Cutters (Electric)

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers commercial electric food cutters with a rotating shallow bowl to carry food products through a set of rotating vertical knives that are on an axis perpendicular to the radii of the bowl. The food cutter can be for counter or table mounting, furnished with or without a table.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.3 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test method portion, Section 10, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
