Installation
Tenderizer Head Installation
1. Insert tenderizer attachment into motor hub.
2. Tighten thumbscrew to secure

Stripper Combs Installation
Important: The tenderizer combs help guide the meat through the machine. The machine has a left-handed comb
and a right-handed comb.
When aligned properly the combs curve away from each other. ) (
1. The metal bars at the top of the comb, which hold the prongs, face away from the machine (See Figure 1.1)
2. The ends of the combs (without prongs attached) should rest on the rear of tenderizer, close to where the accessory
is attached to the motor. Refer to picture to verify alignment.
3. CAREFULLY slide the combs into the slots. Aligned correctly, the individual prongs will fit between the rotating
knives.
4. We recommend using the inside slot of the tenderizer.

bars facing you (the operator). Rear comb metal bars
facing outside.

Operating Instructions
IMPORTANT: Before plugging in your unit, be sure your machine’s electrical specifications, printed on the unit’s nameplate, match
those of your local power.
 Always drop meat through opening of cover. Do not attempt to stuff meat in, rolling action will carry meat through.
 Use boneless cuts only, not to exceed 3/4” thick. Remove gristle before tenderizing to avoid plugging or stalling.
 For a more tender product, run meat through several times at different angles. Fold thinner pieces before running
through.
