Safety Recommendations and Warnings
Bettcher Quantum®Air Trimmers are used for removal of fat and tissue, the recovery of lean
meat from bone, and as a universal cutting tool in industry. Any use in applications other than
those for which the Whizard®trimmer was designed and built may result in serious injuries.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for any
unauthorized design changes, modification, or use of
parts not supplied by the manufacturer.
The use of parts not designed for use on that specific
model, including changes in operating procedures
made by the owner or any of his personnel.
The use of parts other than those listed in the parts
list for the specific model may cause blade lock-up
resulting in an unsafe operating condition.
Sharp blades may cause injury!

Safety Recommendations and Warnings (Continued)
Whizard Quantum® Air Trimmers have been designed to obtain the highest possible degree of
safety. The trimmer contains a sharp knife blade. Handle this equipment with caution, as you
would any sharp object. In particular, read and apply the following safety recommendations:
Sharp blades may cause cut injury!
For proper protection of hands, a protective glove
should be used when operating this equipment and
during the handling of the blades. Metal mesh gloves
are recommended for the “non-knife” hand.
Keep hands away from moving blades!
If at any time this machine does not appear to operate
normally or exhibits a marked change in performance,
it should be immediately shut down, disconnected
from the air supply, and tagged as “unsafe” until such
time as proper repairs are made and the machine
again operates normally.
Hearing loss may occur!
Always operate with hose and muffler attached.
Sharp blades may cause injury!
Always disconnect air supply prior to servicing unit.
Long or repeated use of various power tools vibrating
excessively is suspected of contributing to certain
hand, wrist or forearm disorders in susceptible
individuals. If excessive vibration occurs, it is an
indication that there are worn parts that need
replacement.
If your trimmer develops unusual vibration, do not
continue to use it without first undertaking corrective
action as outlined in the fault and detection section of
this operating instruction.

Safety Recommendations and Warnings (Continued)
Use only replacement parts manufactured by Bettcher
Industries, Inc. Use of substitute parts will void the
warranty and may cause injury to operators and
damage to equipment.
Safety Features
Two-handed start-up prevents the tool from being started accidentally.
The air supply is disconnected from the motor when the run lever is released.
Ergonomic Features
Small, Medium, and Large Handle sizes are available to help improve the operator's grip and
comfort. Fitting the correct size handle to the worker's hand is a very important step. Whizard
Quantum® tools can be configured in both right and left handed configurations.
Optional Thumb Support - An adjustable thumb support is available to ensure a proper and
comfortable fit while providing added control and stability of the tool during use.
Whizard®Micro- Break Hand Strap - This strap has been designed to allow the user to relax the
fingers between work cycles while maintaining control of the trimmer. This is beneficial to the
operator to reduce exposure to mechanical stresses.
Additional Features
The hose assembly swivels for easier trimmer rotation and operator comfort.
The hose is ten feet (3.05 m) long to allow for greater operator mobility.
