Manual Before Operating this Machine
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words which are intended to convey the level of
importance of the safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember
that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper
accident prevention measures.
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.
NOTICE
This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about
proper operation of the machine.
Safety Instructions for Machinery
1. READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE MANUAL
BEFORE STARTING MACHINERY.
Machinery presents serious injury hazards
to untrained users.

wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
or jewelry which may get caught in moving
parts. Wear protective hair covering to con
tain long hair and wear non-slip footwear.
5. NEVER OPERATE MACHINERY WHEN

start switch keys.
9. NEVER LEAVE WHEN MACHINE IS
RUNNING. Turn power OFF and allow all
moving parts to come to a complete stop
before leaving machine unattended.
10. DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENTS. DO NOT use machin-
ery in damp, wet locations, or where any
flammable or noxious fumes may exist.
11. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL
LIT. Clutter and dark shadows may cause
accidents.
12. USE A GROUNDED EXTENSION
CORD RATED FOR THE MACHINE

WRENCHES. Make a habit of checking for
keys and adjusting wrenches before turn
ing machinery
17. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS
BEFORE USING MACHINERY. Check
for binding and alignment of parts, broken
parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any
other conditions that may affect machine
operation. Repair or replace damaged
parts.
18. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.
Refer to the instruction manual for recom
mended accessories. The use of improper
accessories may cause risk of injury.
19. DO NOT FORCE MACHINERY. Work at
the speed for which the machine or acces
sory was designed.

ing and balance at all times.
22. MANY MACHINES WILL EJECT
THE WORKPIECE TOWARD THE
OPERATOR. Know and avoid conditions
that cause the workpiece to "kickback."

Additional Safety Instructions for Meat Saws
1. BLADE INSPECTION. Inspect blades
before each use. DO NOT operate with dull

personal injury could occur.
3. GUARDS. DO NOT operate this saw without blade guards in place.
4. SANITIZATION/CLEANING. Always sanitize and clean the saw thoroughly before
and after cutting meat.
5. USDA REGULATIONS. If you are not
familiar with safe meat handling techniques,
then contact your local Board of Health or
the USDA for proper sanitary practices.
6. BLADE REPLACEMENT. 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.
7. SUPPORTING CUTS. Cuts should always
be fully supported by the table or some
type of support fixture.
9. BLADE SPEED. Blade should be running
at full speed before beginning a cut.
10. FEED RATE. Always feed material evenly and smoothly. Do not force or twist
blade while cutting, especially when sawing
through bone.

to a complete stop before leaving it unat
tended. DO NOT attempt stop or slow
blade.
12. MAINTENANCE/ADJUSTMENTS. All
inspections, adjustments, and maintenance
are to be done with the power
plug pulled from the outlet. Wait for all mov
ing parts to come to a complete stop.
