safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper
accident prevention measures. Always use common sense and good judgment.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about

proper operation of the machine.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

Model G0770 (Mfd Since 11/13)

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid
accidental slips, which could cause loss of work­piece control.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece material,
and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect safe
operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged
or mis-adjusted parts before operating machine.

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.

Additional Safety for Meat Saws

BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,

cracked or badly worn blade. Dull blades require
more effort when cutting and increase the risk of
kickback. Inspect blades for cracks and missing
teeth before each use.

HAND PLACEMENT. To prevent laceration or
amputation injuries, never position hand or fingers
in-line with blade. Wait for meat to move com­pletely through the cut with help of included push­through tool before removing cut-off piece.

WORKPIECE MATERIAL. This machine is
designed to cut fresh and frozen meat and bones.
This machine is NOT designed to cut wood, metal,
glass, stone, tile, etc.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers protect
operator from moving bandsaw blade. ONLY oper­ate saw with guards and covers secured in proper
position.

CLEANING & SANITIZING. Keep machine and
work area clean and sanitary using solutions
approved for food processing. DO NOT use sol­vents that can contaminate meat and cause ill­ness. Properly clean and sanitize saw before and
after each use.

USDA REGULATIONS. If you are not familiar with
safe meat handling techniques, contact your local
Board of Health or the USDA for proper sanitary
procedures.

WEARING APPAREL. Always wear approved
clothing and face protection during operation and
cleaning/sanitizing.

PERSONAL HYGIENE.

ing harmful contaminants to food, always keep
your exposed skin clean and sanitized. Cover all
exposed body hair and use gloves designed for
food processing when operating saw.

BLADE REPLACEMENT. To avoid mishaps that
could result in operator injury, make sure blade
teeth face down toward the table and the blade is
properly tensioned and tracked before operating.

SUPPORTING CUTS. Cuts should always be fully
supported by table, fence, and included push­through tool. If necessary to maintain safe cuts,
use auxiliary fixtures. Do not cut very small or thin
pieces that are hard to control.

BLADE CONTROL. To avoid serious personal
injury, DO NOT attempt to stop or slow the blade
with your hand or workpiece. Turn bandsaw OFF
and wait for blade to come to a complete stop
before trying to remove jammed meat or free a
stalled blade.

BLADE SPEED. Moving meat or bone against a
blade that is not at full speed could cause blade
to grab workpiece and draw operator’s hands into
blade. Always allow the blade to come to full speed
before starting the cut.

FEED RATE. To avoid risk of meat or bone slip­ping and drawing hands into blade, always feed
material evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force,
twist, or jam material into blade, especially when
sawing through bone.

To avoid introduc-

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are fre­quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect
and caution to reduce the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and
connected to the power

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: The circuit requirements listed in this man-

ual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one
machine will be running at a time. If this machine
will be connected to a shared circuit where mul­tiple machines will be running at the same time,
consult a qualified electrician to ensure that the
circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:
