ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Use a properly grounded three-prong outlet to reduce the hazard of
electrical shock.
The saw should be placed close enough to the electrical power supply
so that an extension cord will not be needed. It is designed to be used
on 115 Volt, A.C., 60 Hz power source, as indicated on the Data Plate
affixed to the front of the unit. Be sure that the voltage is the same
before plugging the saw into the outlet. To operate the unit on other
voltages, the unit must be returned to the factory for modification.
All electrical connections must be made in compliance with all appli-
cable local electrical codes, as well as the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code (NFPA 70).

OPERATION
BLADE CHOICE
The meat saw is equipped with a general-purpose blade which cuts
through bone quickly, leaving it smooth and burr-free. It is especially
efficient for ham processing when vacuum wrapping is used.
Other blades recommended for special applications:
The coarse blade is engineered for straight, fast portion control cutting
with minimum waste, and for cutting frozen products.
The scalloped blade is designed to cut chicken and other soft -boned
and boneless material.
NOTE: For most efficient use of the meat saw, use the appropriate
blade for the application. Blade and spare parts information are
included in the Owner's Information Packet.
Clean and sanitize the saw before using the first time, after each use,
and before cutting different types of food products. Follow company,
local and state health/sanitation codes (See Page 8.).
OPERATION
1. Plug power cord into a grounded three-prong outlet. (See
Electrical Requirements, Page 11.)
2. Swing the foodpusher up out of the way .

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
This unit has permanently lubricated bearings. Do not add oil or
grease.
MAINTENANCE
Blade Guide Inserts Adjustment/Replacement
A spacing of 1/8" (3mm) should be maintained between the blade
guide inserts. After prolonged use, the inserts become worn and the
space will be too wide. Loosen the blade guide knobs and move the
inserts to the correct spacing (There should be equal space on both
sides of the blade.), and retighten the knobs. The blade guide inserts
should be replaced when they are less than 3/4" (19mm) long.
