WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: • Lead from lead-based paints. • Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products. • Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.

SECTION 1: SAFETY For Your Own Safety, Read Instruction Manual Before Operating this Equipment 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.
Safety Instructions for Power Tools 9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Conductor size should be in accordance with the chart below. The amperage rating should be listed on the motor or tool nameplate. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
Additional Safety Instructions for Meat Saws 1. DO NOT OPERATE WITH DULL OR BADLY WORN BLADES. Dull blades require more effort to use and are difficult to control. Inspect blades before each use. 8. ALWAYS FEED MATERIAL EVENLY AND SMOOTHLY. DO NOT force or twist blade while cutting, especially when sawing through bone. 2. NEVER POSITION FINGERS OR THUMBS IN LINE WITH THE CUT. Serious personal injury could occur. 9. DO NOT MANUALLY STOP OR SLOW BLADE after turning off the saw.

Meat Grinder 3. Slide the meat grinder all the way into the housing and tighten the split collar to secure the grinder in place. The Model G0560 comes with a meat grinder. Before assembling this for use, clean and sanitize its parts. See Section 5: Sanitation for details on sanitizing. Figure 28 shows the meat grinder components. The meat grinder should not be attached to the saw when not in use. Meat fat is required to lubricate the grinder components during operation.
SECTION 6: OPERATIONS Blade Guard Damage to your eyes and ears could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses and hearing protection when operating this machine. The Model G0560 is operated by an ON/OFF paddle switch that is clearly labeled on the side of the stand. Figure 32 shows the blade guard controls. The blade guard protects the operator from accidental contact with the part of the blade that is not being used.
Blade Guides Blade Tension The upper blade guides shown in Figure 33 support the blade from moving side-to-side while cutting. These should be adjusted to approximately 0.004" (about the thickness of a dollar bill) away from the blade and should be behind the gullet of the blade teeth. The bandsaw blade must be adequately tensioned so that it will cut straight and not fall off the wheel during operation. Gullet Line To tension the bandsaw blade: 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source! 2.
Blade Tracking Changing Blades The bandsaw blade must be properly tracked (or centered) on the wheels. In the event that you need to change blades or remove the current blade for cleaning purposes, follow the instructions below: To track the blade: 1. 1. Disconnect the machine from the power source! 2. Remove the force plate from the end of the table. 3. Slide the table off the rollers and remove it from the bandsaw unit. 4. Remove the stainless steel blade covers. 5.
10. Blade installation is the opposite of removal. Once the blade is installed, remember to tension it appropriately, set the blade guides, and replace the V-belt. Test Run Once assembly is complete and adjustments are done to your satisfaction, you are ready to start the machine. Make sure all components that were removed have been placed back in their original position, are adjusted correctly, and all guards are in place before you plug the bandsaw back into the power outlet.
Cutting Meat NOTICE The following section was designed to provide a basic understanding of the types of items that can be cut with the meat-cutting bandsaw. This manual is in no way a guide to cutting meat, dressing animals or safe meat handling techniques. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you read books, magazines or take lessons that specifically deal with meat cutting and animal dressing applications. Read the entire manual before making any cuts with your bandsaw.
Cutting Bone Grinding Meat Besides meat, this bandsaw can cut through bone too. The meat grinder is great for grinding hamburger or sausage. The grinder automatically engages when it is mounted to the bandsaw unit. When cutting bone: To use the meat grinder: Feed the bone into the blade slowly. If you hear the motor slow down during cutting, stop cutting at once. DO NOT twist the blade during the cut. The blade may bind or break. This bandsaw can cut your fingers off or cause other bodily harm.
SECTION 7: CLEANING/SANITIZING Cleaning the Saw Always be as thorough as possible when cleaning and sanitizing your meat cutting bandsaw components. Any parts that have been exposed to raw meat or bone may harbor or develop bacteria that may cause illness or death if left uncleaned.
4. 5. Remove the blade from the wheels of the bandsaw (as discussed in the “Changing Blades” instructions). Sanitize all removed pieces from the meat grinder and bandsaw, according to the following sanitation instructions. If you have access to a dishwasher, use it to sanitize the parts that will fit. Clean the wheels and any other part of the bandsaw unit that may have been exposed to raw meat with a direct application sanitizer (read “Proper Sanitation” instructions).
SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE Lubrication Disconnect power to the machine when performing any adjustments or maintenance. Failure to do this may result in serious personal injury.
