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 your 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.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

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 reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. 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.

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

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.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

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.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for Meat Saws

Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with the moving saw blade during
operation or if blade breakage occurs. To reduce this risk, anyone operating this machine
MUST completely heed the hazards and warnings below.

HAND PLACEMENT. Placing hands or fingers

in line with blade during operation may result in
serious injury if hands slip or workpiece moves
unexpectedly. Do not position fingers or hands in
line with blade, and never reach under table while
blade is moving.

BLADE SPEED. Cutting workpiece before blade is
at full speed could cause blade to grab workpiece
and pull hands into blade. Allow blade to reach full
speed before starting cut. DO NOT start machine
with workpiece contacting blade.

FEED RATE. To avoid risk of workpiece slipping
and causing operator injury, always feed stock
evenly and smoothly.

BLADE CONDITION. Dull blades require more
effort to perform cut, increasing risk of accidents.
Do not operate with dir ty, dull, cracked or badly
worn blades. Inspect blades for cracks and miss­ing teeth before each use. Always maintain proper
blade tension and tracking while operating.

CLEARING JAMS AND CUTOFFS. Always stop
saw and disconnect power BEFORE clearing
scrap pieces that get stuck between blade and
table. Use brush or push stick, not hands, to clean
scraps from table.

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

BLADE REPLACEMENT. Under normal condi­tions, saw blade should be replaced after cutting
approximately 4400 lbs. of meat or bone. To avoid
mishaps that could result in operator injury, make
sure blade teeth face down toward table and
blade is properly tensioned and tracked before
operating.

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

CUTTING TECHNIQUES. To avoid blade get­ting pulled off wheels or accidentally breaking
and striking operator, always turn saw OFF and
wait for blade to come to a complete stop before
backing workpiece out of blade. DO NOT back
workpiece away from blade while saw is running.
DO NOT force or twist blade while cutting. This
could result in blade damage or breakage.

BLADE CONTROL. To avoid risk of injury due to
blade contact, always allow blade to stop on its
own. DO NOT try to stop or slow blade with your
hand or the workpiece.

Model T32304 (Mfd. Since 02/21)

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.

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.

or equipment damage
may occur if machine is
not properly grounded
and connected to 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.

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

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure 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.)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event
of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a
path of least resistance for electric current.

This machine is equipped with a power cord that
has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding
plug. Only insert plug into a matching receptacle
(outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT modify the provided plug!

on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller

Adjusting Blade

Tracking

"Tracking" refers to how the blade rides on the
bandsaw wheels. Proper tracking is important for
maintaining bandsaw adjustments and achieving
correct blade tension. The shape of the wheels
and the orientation of the wheels in relation to
each other determine how the blade tracks.

IMPORTANT: Improper tracking reduces cutting
accuracy, causes excess vibrations, and places
stress on the blade and other components!

The Model T32304 has crowned wheels. As the
wheels spin, a properly tracking blade naturally
tracks at the center of the wheel (see Figure 29).

Figure 27. Catch tabs on stand cover.

26. Install stand covers inside stand openings

and attach by turning catch tabs over edges
of the stand (see Figure 28).

Always remove meat grinder when not
being used. Failure to comply may result in
damage to meat grinder due to insufficient
lubrication without meat being processed.

Cleanup

After unpacking machine and performing initial
setup, peel off any protective plastic sheeting and
thoroughly clean and sanitize the saw as directed
in CLEANING & SANITIZING (Page 33) before
beginning operation. Get in the habit of properly
cleaning and sanitizing the saw before and after
each use to avoid contamination and illness.

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

Model T32304 (Mfd. Since 02/21)

When cleaning with sanitizers, make sure
the product is approved for stainless steel
food processing equipment and always fol­low the manufacturer's recommendations.
To prevent illness or death, never use a
product that will make the meat unsafe for
human consumption.

Adjusting Blade

Guard

The blade guard protects the operator from acci­dental contact with the portion of the blade that is
not cutting through a workpiece.

The blade guide lock knob (see Figure 32) on the
guide rail allows you to raise and lower the blade
guard and blade guide assembly. To remove the
blade guard, loosen and remove (2) cap screws
securing the blade guard to the blade guide
assembly (see Figure 32).

Tensioning Blade

A properly tensioned blade is essential for making
accurate cuts, maximizing blade life, and making
other bandsaw adjustments. However, a properly
tensioned blade will not compensate for cutting
problems caused by excessive feed rate, hard­ness variations between meats and bones, and
improper blade selection.

Optimal cutting results for any type of workpiece
are achieved through a combination of correct
blade selection, proper blade tension, properly
adjusted blade guides and other bandsaw compo­nents, and using an appropriate feed rate.

Improper blade tension is unsafe, produces inac­curate and inconsistent results, and introduces
unnecessary wear on bandsaw components.
Over-tensioning the blade increases the chance
of the blade breaking or wheel misalignment.
Under-tensioned blades wander excessively while
cutting.

Cap Screw

(1 of 2)

Figure 32. Location of blade guard and blade

guide assembly components.

IMPORTANT: Keep the blade guide assembly
within an inch of the material you are cutting. This
will provide adequate support for the blade where
the pressure is greatest. This adjustment is crucial
when cutting through bone!

Guide

Rail

Saw blades are very sharp
and can quickly cause cut­ting injuries. Always wear
heavy-leather gloves when
handling saw blades.

To prevent blade falling off wheels and
causing injury or property damage, DO NOT
rotate blade tension nut when saw is oper­ating. ALWAYS disconnect machine from
power before adjusting blade tension.

Cutting Meat & Bone

The Model T32304 10" 3⁄4 HP Meat Cutting
Bandsaw is designed for cutting fresh or frozen
meat and bones.

When cutting meat with your bandsaw, use the
fence to gauge the thickness of your desired cut,
and use the meat pusher to brace the meat. Make
sure the fence will not be in line with cuts.

With frozen meat, pay attention to the rate at
which you feed meat into the moving blade. All
cuts should be slow and smooth. If you hear the
motor slow down or struggle with a cut, reduce
pressure.

When cutting bone, feed bone into the blade slow­ly. If you hear the motor slow down during cutting,
release pressure at once. DO NOT twist the blade
during cutting or the blade may bind or break.

Figure 48. Table, covers, and upper wheel cover

installed.

This saw can quickly cause
cuts or amputation injuries.
Use the included fence to
guide the meat through the
blade. NEVER place your
hand or fingers in line with
or near the moving blade.

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

Cleaning Saw

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

Always be as thorough as
possible when cleaning
and sanitizing the saw and
its parts. Any surface that
has been exposed to raw
meat or bone may develop
bacteria that could cause
illness or death if not prop­erly cleaned and sanitized.

Get in the habit of properly cleaning and sanitizing
the saw before and after each use to avoid con­tamination and illness.

Proper Sanitation

When using 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 cause exposed
surfaces to render meat
unsafe for human con­sumption and cause illness
or death.

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 proper methods of meat handling.

Acidic solutions, saline-based solutions,
disinfectants, and sterilizers (hypochlorites,
tetravalent ammonia salts, iodine com­pounds, nitric acid, etc.) will corrode stain­less steel over time. Verify your cleaning
compound is made for cleaning stainless
steel before using on machine.

All surfaces of the saw that are exposed to the
cutting process must be properly cleaned and
sanitized. Cleaning the food debris and residue
away is only half of the process. These surfaces
must now be disinfected with solutions that will
remove bacteria and other micro-organisms, and
prevent their growth.

Some sanitizers require direct applications, while
others are designed to be diluted in water and
used to soak the item for a specified period of
time. The best method for choosing a chemical
sanitizer is to do the research and determine
which product is best for your particular situation.
Sanitizing solutions should be changed as soon
as they become dirty, or every two hours.
One simple sanitizer that can be used for many
applications is regular bleach.

Note: DO NOT use bleach that contains odor­masking agents or surfactants. These chemicals
have not been proven effective for this type of
sanitation.

To use bleach as a sanitizer, scrub a sink com­partment with hot, soapy water (minimum 171°F
[77°C]), then rinse it clear. Fill the sink with one
tablespoon of bleach per gallon of COOL water.

Note: NEVER exceed 200 ppm (parts per million)
of available chlorine in equipment sanitizing solu­tions. Use a pH testing kit to confirm the effective­ness of your sanitizing solution.

For removable parts, submerge each item for two
minutes. For larger surfaces, use a clean cloth
and the bleach solution to wipe down these sur­faces for two minutes. Allow to air dry—DO NOT

rinse these items after sanitizing!

If porous surfaces, such as wood, are used in the
cutting process, clean as previously described,
then soak for two minutes in a solution of three
tablespoons of bleach to one gallon of COOL
water. Rinse items thoroughly after sanitizing!

SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE

Cleaning &

Sanitizing

Thoroughly clean and sanitize the saw as directed

maintenance, or service.

Saw blades are very sharp
and can quickly cause cut­ting injuries. Always wear
heavy-leather gloves when
handling saw blades.

Schedule

in CLEANING & SANITIZING on Page 33 before and after every use. Get in the habit of properly cleaning and sanitizing the saw daily to avoid con­tamination and illness.

Lubrication

Maintain the blade and table top with a thin film
of food-grade lubricant that will NOT support
bacterial growth or become rancid.

For optimum performance from this machine, this
maintenance schedule must be strictly followed.

Ongoing

To minimize your risk of injury and maintain proper
machine operation, shut down the machine imme­diately if you ever observe any of the items below,
and fix the problem before continuing operations:

• Loose mounting bolts.

• Damaged saw blade.

Worn or damaged wires.

•

Any other unsafe condition.

•

Daily Maintenance

• Clean and sanitize machine before and after
every use.

• Lubricate entire blade and table top.

• Cover machine with a clean, dry cloth until
next use.

Monthly Check

• V-belt tension, damage, or wear.

• Under normal conditions, replace saw blade
after cutting 4400 lbs. of meat or bone.

Model T32304 (Mfd. Since 02/21)

Note: DO NOT use food-grade oils typically used
for cooking (vegetable oil, olive oil, etc.) that can
become rancid over time and may cause illness.

Make sure the product you use is specifically
designed for protecting food processing equip­ment, such as 100% food-grade mineral oil certi­fied by the NSF (National Science Foundation).
Always follow the manufacturer's recommenda­tions when using their products.

Note: DO NOT lubricate meat grinder! The meat
processed in the grinder serves as a natural lubri­cant during use.

The wheel bearings are shielded and lubricated,
and require no maintenance throughout their
lifespan.

V-Belt

Avoid getting grease or oil on the V-belt or pulleys.
Check the V-belt as part of a monthly inspection
for proper tension and belt condition. Cracking
and glazing could result in belt failure. Replace
the belt if such conditions appear.
