II. Safety Rules for all Tools
- 2 - Hunters Meat Cutting Bandsaw
1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read
the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the
tool’s applications and limitations, as well
as its hazards.
2. KEEP ALL GUARDS IN PLACE and
in working order.
3. GROUND ALL TOOLS. If an adapter
is used to accommodate a two-prong
receptacle, the adapter plug must be
attached to a known ground. Never
remove the grounding prong.
4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND
WRENCHES. Make it a habit to check
that keys and wrenches are removed
from the machine before turning it on.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
6. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Keep your work area well
lighted.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS
AWAY. All children and visitors should
be kept a safe distance away from your
work area.
8. MAKE WORK AREA CHILDPROOF with padlocks, master switches,
or by removing starter keys.
9. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. Tools work
better and more safely when they are
allowed to work at their own speed.
10. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not use a
tool or an attachment to do a job that it
was not intended to perform.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not
wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or
jewelry that might get caught in moving
parts. Non-slip footwear is also recommended. Wear a hat or other protective
head wear if your hair is long.
12. USE SAFETY GLASSES AND EAR
PROTECTION.
13. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for
best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS FROM
POWER before servicing and when
changing accessories.
16. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED
ACCESSORIES. Consult the current
catalog for recommended accessories.
Using improper accessories may be hazardous.
17. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position before plugging in the cord.
II. Safety Rules for all Tools
Hunter’s Meat Cutting Bandsaw - 3 -
18. NEVER STAND OR LEAN ON
TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the
tool is tipped or if the cutting edge is accidentally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before
further use of the tool, any part or guard
that is damaged should be promptly
repaired or replaced. Do not operate the
machine until you are certain that it is in
perfect running condition. Failure to follow this precaution could result in further
mechanical damage and operator injury.
20. DO NOT WORK IN HASTE or operate machine if you are mentally or physically fatigued.
21. NEVER LEAVE THE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED - TURN
POWER OFF. Do not leave the tool until
it comes to a full stop.
22. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR MEDICATION. Never operate machinery when
overly fatigued.
23. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU
DO NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND
ABOUT THIS MACHINE, DO NOT
OPERATE IT! Ask for help first.
Confusion is dangerous.
24. BAD HABITS ARE DANGEROUS.
Review all safety procedures often.
These safety rules, while expansive, may not
cover every situation. Please consider your
unique conditions when setting up and using
your saw.
More safety rules are reviewed in Section
IX.
Remember:
Safety First!

- 4 - Hunters Meat Cutting
Bandsaw
If you are unsure about connecting your
bandsaw, don’t take chances: consult the
service dept or a licensed electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS: If used, extension
cords must be rated hard service – grade S –
or better. Conductor size must be 12 AWG for
cords up to 50 feet in length. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire and plug
pin. Repair or replace extension cords if they
become damaged.
C. Word of Caution
In this section we have covered some basic
electrical requirements for the safe operation
of your bandsaw. As with the safety rules in
the preceding section, these requirements are
not necessarily comprehensive. Further, you
must be sure that your particular electrical
configuration complies with local and state
codes. The best ways to ensure compliance
are to check with your local municipality or
licensed electrician.
A. Circuit Loading
The motor will safely draw about 12 amps at
110V under load. If you operate the bandsaw
on any circuit that is already close to its
capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit
breaker. However, if an unusual load does not
exist, and power failure still occurs, have the
circuit inspected by a qualified electrician.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS/FUSES: A 15 amp
circuit breaker or fuse should be used for a
110V undedicated circuit. The general rule is
to use the lightest breaker or fuse that will
hold under regular loads. Circuit breakers or
fuses that are rated higher may not adequately protect the motor.
B. Grounding
This machine must be electrically
grounded. We have furnished the bandsaw
with a plug suitable for use with a grounded,
domestic 110V circuit.
Please verify that any circuit you intend to use
is actually grounded. If the circuit is not
grounded, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 AWG copper grounding wire from the
machine frame to a grounding terminal in your
electric service panel. Consult with a licensed
electrician if you are unsure about machine
grounding.
III. Electrical Service Requirements
When placing the bandsaw in your work area,
three considerations should be addressed;
electrical service requirements, working clearances, and lighting and outlets. We’ll look at
the first consideration now and leave the other
two for the next section.
The bandsaw has a 1 HP motor which is ready
for 110V, single phase operation.
You must wire the motor to the switch.

V. UnpackingIV. Site Planning
Hunter’s Meat Cutting Bandsaw - 5 -
The bandsaw is shipped from the factory in a
carefully packed carton. If you find the
machine to be damaged after you’ve signed
for delivery and the truck and driver are
already gone, you will need to file a freight
claim with the carrier. Save the containers and
all packing materials for inspection by the carrier or their agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you
need advice regarding this situation, please
call us immediately.
Caution: The meat cutting saw is a HEAVY
machine (106 lbs. shipping weight). DO NOT
over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving
your machine – get assistance. In the event
that your bandsaw must be moved up or down
a flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are
capable of supporting the combined weight of
people and the machine.
When you are completely satisfied with the
condition of your shipment, you should inventory its parts.
A. Working Clearances
Be sure that there is plenty of room around
your saw before cutting. Relocate any items
that risk contamination and cannot be easily
washed. Allow yourself sufficient room to run
your saw IN ANY FORESEEABLE OPER-
ATION.
B. Lighting and Outlets
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate
shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to
handle combined motor amp loads. Outlets
should be located near the machine so power
or extension cords are not obstructing hightraffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
