SECTION 1: SAFETY
G0560 Meat-Cutting Bandsaw -3-
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage
rating should be listed on the motor or tool
nameplate. An undersized cord will cause
a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and
plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. DO NOT
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties,
rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip
footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also
use face or dust mask if cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact resistant lenses, they are NOT
safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to
hold work when practical. It is safer than
using your hand and frees both hands to
operate tool.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep
tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Safety Instructions for Power Tools
15. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Consult the instruction manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTION-
AL STARTING. On machines with mag-
netic contact starting switches there is a
risk of starting if the machine is bumped or
jarred. Always disconnect from power
source before adjusting or servicing. Make
sure switch is in OFF position before reconnecting.
17. MANY WOODWORKING TOOLS CAN
“KICKBACK” THE WORKPIECE toward
the operator if not handled properly. Know
what conditions can create “kickback” and
know how to avoid them. Read the manual
accompanying the machine thoroughly.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced.
19. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. DO NOT
leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
20. NEVER OPERATE A MACHINE WHEN
TIRED, OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS OR ALCOHOL. Full mental alert-
ness is required at all times when running
a machine.
21. NEVER ALLOW UNSUPERVISED OR
UNTRAINED PERSONNEL TO OPERATE THE MACHINE. Make sure any
instructions you give in regards to the
operation of the machine are approved,
correct, safe, and clearly understood.

Bacteria from raw meat has been frequently
linked to illness and even death! Describing
proper meat handling techniques outside of
cleaning the bandsaw is beyond the scope of
this manual. If you are unclear about sanitary
meat handling practices, contact your local
Board of Health or the USDA to research the
proper methods of meat handling.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor
work results.
Additional Safety Instructions for Meat Saws
8. ALWAYS FEED MATERIAL EVENLY
AND SMOOTHLY. DO NOT force or twist
blade while cutting, especially when sawing through bone.
9. DO NOT MANUALLY STOP OR SLOW
BLADE after turning off the saw. Allow it to
come to a complete stop before you leave
it unattended.
10. ALL INSPECTIONS, ADJUSTMENTS,
AND MAINTENANCE ARE TO BE DONE
WITH THE POWER OFF and the plug
pulled from the outlet. Wait for all moving
parts to come to a complete stop.
11. HABITS—GOOD AND BAD—ARE
HARD TO BREAK. Develop good habits
in your shop and safety will become second-nature to you.
12. IF AT ANY TIME YOU ARE EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES PERFORMING THE
INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING
THE MACHINE! Then contact our service
department or ask a qualified expert how
the operation should be performed.
13. ALWAYS SANITIZE AND CLEAN ALL
EXPOSED PARTS OF SAW THOROUGHLY AFTER CUTTING MEAT.
14. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH SAFE
MEAT HANDLING TECHNIQUES, then
contact your local Board of Health or
the USDA for proper sanitary practices.
1. DO NOT OPERATE WITH DULL OR
BADLY WORN BLADES. Dull blades
require more effort to use and are difficult
to control. Inspect blades before each use.
2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR
THUMBS IN LINE WITH THE CUT.
Serious personal injury could occur.
3. DO NOT OPERATE THIS SAW WITHOUT WHEEL, PULLEY, AND BLADE
GUARDS IN PLACE.
4. WHEN REPLACING BLADES, make sure
teeth face down toward the table. The
force of the cut is always down towards
the table. Make sure the blade is properly
tensioned.
5. CUTS SHOULD ALWAYS BE FULLY
SUPPORTED by the table or some type of
support fixture.
6. DO NOT BACK MEAT AWAY from the
blade while the saw is running. Plan your
cuts so you always cut through the meat.
If you need to back the meat out, turn the
bandsaw off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop. Do not twist or
put excessive stress on the blade while
backing meat away.
7. BLADE SHOULD BE RUNNING AT
FULL SPEED before beginning a cut.

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
G0560 Meat-Cutting Bandsaw -7-
Electrocution or a fire
can result if the machine
is not grounded correctly. Make sure all electrical circuits are grounded. DO NOT use the
machine if it is not
grounded.
If you find it necessary to use an extension
cord with this machine:
• Only use a cord that is rated for standard ser-
vice (Grade S).
• Only use a cord that contains a grounding
prong.
• Use at least a 16 gauge cord if the cord is 50
feet long or less.
• Use at least a 14 gauge cord if the cord is
between 50-100 feet.
• Always repair or replace cords when they
become worn or damaged.
We DO NOT recommend using an extension
cord if you are operating your bandsaw on a 220V
power source.
NOTICE
The wire on the power cord with green or
green and yellow striped insulation is the
grounding conductor.
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance to disperse electric current. This tool is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding prong. The outlet
must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
The Model G0560 can be rewired to operate on a
220V power source. The motor must be rewired
according to the wiring diagram on the motor
label. The wiring configuration can also be found
on the inside of the motor wire cover, as well as
on page 33.
This procedure takes moderate electrical skill and
the rewiring job should be inspected by a licensed
electrician before turning the machine ON.
Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit
that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not
exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a
qualified electrician.

Unsupervised children and
visitors could cause serious
personal injury to themselves with this machine.
Choose a site for placement
in your shop where you can
safely lock visitors and children away when you are not
with them.
Floor Load
The Model G0560 weighs 127 lbs. and has a
base footprint of 16" x 18".
Working Clearances
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of
material to be processed, and space for auxiliary
stands, work tables or other machinery when
establishing a location for your bandsaw.
Clean Up
The table and guard pieces come with a protective coating. Peel this off before cleaning these
pieces. Clean and sanitize all parts of the saw
that will be in contact with meat or any other food
items. The smaller items and table will fit in most
dishwashers. This is probably the easiest method
of cleaning and sanitizing these parts. For the
larger parts of the saw, if a dishwasher is not
available, clean with a sanitizing agent. See
Section 5: Sanitation for details on sanitizing.
Get in the habit of cleaning your saw thoroughly
to avoid contamination and illnesses.
When cleaning with sanitizers, always follow the recommendations on the manufacturer’s label, and make sure that the
product will do the job for which you
intend. Never use a product that will make
your meat unsafe for human consumption.
Failure to follow this warning may lead to
sickness or death!
