Safety Recommendations and Warnings

Industries, Inc.

(Continued)

Whizard Quantum® Air Trimmers have been designed to obtain the highest possible degree of safety. The trimmer contains a sharp knife blade. Handle this equipment with caution, as you would any sharp object. In particular, read and apply the following safety recommendations:

ARNING

Sharp blades may cause cut injury! For proper protection of hands, a protective glove should be used when operating this equipment and during the handling of the blades. Metal mesh gloves are recommended for the “non-knife” hand.

Keep hands away from moving blades! If at any time this machine does not appear to operate

normally or exhibits a marked change in performance, it should be immediately shut down, disconnected from the air supply, and tagged as “unsafe” until such time as proper repairs are made and the machine again operates normally.

ARNING

Hearing loss may occur! Always operate with hose and muffler attached.

Sharp blades may cause injury! Always disconnect air supply prior to servicing unit.

Long or repeated use of various power tools vibrating excessively is suspected of contributing to certain hand, wrist or forearm disorders in susceptible individuals. If excessive vibration occurs, it is an indication that there are worn parts that need replacement.

If your trimmer develops unusual vibration, do not continue to use it without first undertaking corrective action as outlined in the fault and detection section of this operating instruction.

Unpacking and Installation

Installation

The workstation for each operator should be designed so that the operator's movements in performing the job are natural and easy. A sideways sweeping motion with the Whizard

Quantum

Air Trimmer is preferable to a reaching motion. Long reaching motions and high muscle strain should be avoided if possible. Also, a proper working height is needed to avoid excessive shoulder and back exertion.

Air Supply

A clean, dry, lubricated air supply is critical to proper operation. The filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) unit, furnished with your complete Bettcher Quantum mounted horizontally at the air supply outlet and in such a position as to be easily reached for draining the filter bowl and refilling the lubricator. The filter bowl should be drained, and the lubricator refilled, daily.

IMPORTANT: Be sure the air supply is a constant 90 pounds per square inch (6.2 bar) and the

volume is a minimum of 14 cubic feet per minute (396 liters per minute) per unit.

Supply Line:

Air , should be

• Use a 2 inch to 6 inch (5 cm to 15 cm) pipe for the air supply.

3-6

• All air outlet drops should be connected to the top of the main air supply line to

minimize the possibility of moisture and dirt reaching the motor.

• Drops should be at least:

• ¾ inch (2 cm) pipe for one (1) tool.

• 1 inch (2.54 cm) pipe for two (2) tools.

• 1 ¼ inch (3.18 cm) pipe for three (3) tools.

• A FRL should be used for each tool. Do not run multiple tools off of a single

FRL.

• All air outlets should be located close enough to the operator’s work station so that

additional hose is not required.

The Whizard Quantum® Air Trimmers have been designed to allow the head of the tool to be rotated relative to the handle. In this way, the tool can be adjusted to align the blade with the product, while maintaining a comfortable position for the operator’s wrist.

The position that is selected should be based on the individual workstation, product, and operator. To determine the proper position, it will be necessary to observe the operator while trying various positions. Select the position which is most comfortable to the operator.

Tool Operation

ARNING

Always hold the handle of the Whizard Quantum® Air Trimmer with your thumb extended. Let the handle rest naturally in your hand, in a relaxed manner. Each person should be allowed to hold the handpiece in a position that is most comfortable to them.

The most-commonly used motion is a long sweeping or gliding stroke across the trimming surface. Hold the blade surface as flat to the trim surface as possible. A scooping action should be used around the vertebra.

On flat bones, such as backbones or blades, use a long, quick, gliding stroke.

During the cutting operation do not try to pull the blade out of a cut. Let the blade do the work, as you would any other cutting tool. Finding the proper angle for Whizard Quantum trimming will become easier as the operator gains experience using the tool.

As with any meat cutting tool, your speed and efficiency is only as good as the blade sharpness.

In order to achieve maximum unit and operator efficiency, it is recommended that sharp blades be installed at each shift break. For this reason, it is suggested that extra blades be kept on hand. For example, if 4 units are being used and there are 3 shift breaks, 16 blades would be required. This would provide a sharp blade for start- up and one for each break.

When following this procedure, steeling of the blade is minimized, and blades need only be sharpened once a day with the use of a Whizard Whizard

If blades are not changed at each shift break, it may be required to steel the blade.

Steeling For Whizard Quantum® Air Models: 350, 500, 620 and 750:

• Be sure to hold the steel at the actual angle of the blade edge. Running the steel at an

angle greater than the factory ground angle will round over the edge and make resharpening more difficult.

Handpiece Maintenance

ARNING

Sharp blades may cause cut injury! For proper protection of hands, a protective glove

should be used when operating this equipment and during the handling of blades.

Always disconnect air supply and remove tool from hose assembly prior to servicing.

The Whizard Quantum

Air Trimmer was designed to allow quick and easy removal of the handpiece from the hose assembly. This allows the trimmer to be removed from the hose assembly while still on the production line. The hose assembly can be left hanging on the production line and the handpiece can be returned to the knife room for service. It is recommended that this procedure be followed. The removal of the 10 feet (3.05 m) of hose will allow easier service, storage, and handling by knife room personnel.

Blade Sharpening

ARNING

Sharp blades may cause cut injury! Always disconnect the air supply prior to servicing. For proper protection of hands, a protective glove

should be used when operating this equipment and during the handling of blades.

After sharpening, all abrasive dust must be completely removed from the handpiece. Disassemble the unit and carefully wash each piece with hot, soapy water and a small brush.

• The blade should be sharpened daily with the use of a Whizard

Blade Sharpener, a Whizard hand stoning.



• Clean all grease and meat particles from the blade before sharpening. Sharpening blades

that have not been cleaned will coat the stone or grinding wheel and greatly reduce its effectiveness.

•

If the stone or grinding wheel becomes coated, gently scrub them clean using hot, soapy water.

• Check for damage to the cutting edge.

Blade Housing

• Inspect inner diameter of the housing for wear.

• Look for evidence of the blade rubbing the outer wall of the housing.

• When holding the housing with a new blade installed, if the split in the housing touches

the other side, and the blade is still loose, the housing needs to be replaced. If a gap is seen, the housing is acceptable.

Blade Sharpening of Whizard Quantum® TRIMVAC® Handpiece

ARNING

Whizard Quantum

• The blade should be sharpened daily with the use of a Whizard

Blade Sharpener, a Whizard hand stoning.

Sharp blades may cause cut injury! Always disconnect the air supply prior to servicing. For proper protection of hands, a protective glove

should be used when operating this equipment and during the handling of blades.

After sharpening, all abrasive dust must be completely removed from the handpiece. Disassemble the unit and carefully wash each piece with hot, soapy water and a small brush.

TRIMVAC® 45 Sharpening

Model 214 Blade Sharpener, Bettcher® AutoEdge, or by

Model 210 Universal

• Clean all grease and meat particles from the blade before sharpening. Sharpening blades

that have not been cleaned will contaminate the stone or grinding wheel and greatly reduce its effectiveness.

•

If the stone or grinding wheel becomes contaminated, gently scrub them clean
