INSTRUCTION MANUAL

When using fish scalers as with any electric tool basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with a
three conductor cord and three prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green
conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green wire to a live terminal.

GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES

- Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injury.

- Keep children away. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.

- Do not use the tool for any purpose for which it is not intended.

- Dress properly, do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can get caught in moving parts.

- Wear safety glasses to protect against flying debris.

- Don't overreach, keep proper footing and balance at all times.

- Disconnect power cord when not in use, before servicing and when changing flexible shafts, handpieces, and tools.

- Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure switch is off (handpiece holder down) before plugging tool in.

- Stay alert, be aware of what you are doing and others around you. Do not operate the tool when you are tired

- Check for damaged parts before use of the tool. Any part damaged such as a guard should be repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.

Assembly Instructions:

! Be sure unit is unplugged and switch is in the off position before proceeding.
Align and insert flexible core into motor core adapter. Insert outer casing into motor casing adapter until the shoulder
on the coupling bottoms out. Tighten both socket cap screws using a 3/16" hex key. Insert the flexible core into the
adapter on the handpiece, and then thread handpiece onto flexible shaft. Hang unit from a secure mounting at a height
that allows the shaft to have a gradual arc while the operator is using the tool.
The scaler is now ready for use.

Operating Instruction:

Hold the handpiece securely by the knurled anti slip handle. Keep hands away from the cutter head. Lift the yellow
handpiece holder to start the motor. Beginning with the tail end of the fish, slowly move the cutter head toward the head
of the fish. Repeat this motion until all the scales have been removed. When you are finished scaling turn the power off by
pulling the hanger down, and replacing the handpiece on the holder after it has stopped spinning.

Maintenance:

The motor and the handpiece use sealed bearings which require no maintenance over their life span.
The life expectancy of the flexible shaft can be increased by lubricating the inner core after every one hundred
hours of use. To lubricate the inner core remove the shaft from the motor and then slide the inner flexible shaft
our of the rubber housing. Wipe the old grease off and then reinstall the core applying approximately 1/16"
of Northrock shaft lubricant (P/N 520A1) along the whole length.
