A cutting machine for cutting a food product, comprising:
- a housing;
- a blade cover detachably mounted to the housing via at least a first fastening point and a second fastening point;
- a circular blade rotatably disposed in the housing such that the blade cover covers a surface of the circular blade, wherein the housing includes a blade protection ring that encloses a cutting edge of the circular blade in a C-shaped manner, the blade cover being connected to the blade protection ring;
- and
- a carriage movably mounted parallel to the circular blade, the carriage including a carriage surface for holding the food product,
