SECTION 3.0 Function
3.1 Machine Functions
The Whizard® Ultra Drive High Speed Motor has been designed to be used with
all electric driven Bettcher Whizard®Trimmers plus UN84 Quick Release Flex
Shafts and Casings. A custom belt drive and controller provides higher speed
which provides faster blade speed.
A vertical motor drives a flexible shaft. The flexible shaft drives a rotating blade
in the handpiece via a gear and pinion. The force to cut through meat and fats is
provided by the drive motor and no longer by the worker. Forces applied by the
worker are greatly reduced and limited to guiding the rotating knife blade. The
Whizard®Ultra Drive High Speed Motor provides a mechanical advantage for the
operator thus eliminating the need for manual tools such as knives and scissors.
An interlock feature in the hanger prevents turning on the motor while the
Trimmer is in the hanger. A spring loaded latch on the handpiece hanger prevents
the Trimmer from accidentally being knocked out of the hanger.
The motor will also shut off automatically when the Trimmer handpiece is placed
in the hanger.
3.2 Safety Recommendations And Warnings
WARNING
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE MOTOR AND PLACE
THE HANDPIECE IN THE HANGER BRACKET WITH
THE CUTTING BLADE FACING THE MOTOR.
NEVER LAY THE HANDPIECE DOWN ON THE WORKSTATION OR
LET IT HANG FREE BY THE
FLEX SHAFT CASING. NEVER PLACE THE
HANDPIECE IN THE HANGER WHILE THE
BLADE IS STILL REVOLVING.

INSTRUCTIONS INDUSTRIES, INC. Rev. April 17, 2015
SECTION 4.0 Safety Features
Strain relief design allows motor to be free-swinging.
The machine has an interlock on the handpiece hanger that prevents hanging the
handpiece while the motor is running or turning the motor on while the handpiece
is in the hanger. A spring loaded latch on the handpiece hanger prevents the
trimmer from accidentally being knocked out of the hanger.
The motor will shut off automatically if the handpiece is placed into the hanger.
WARNING
WORKER FATIGUE MAY INCREASE AND EFFICIENCY
DECREASE IF RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
ARE NOT FOLLOWED!
IMPROPERLY HUNG MOTORS MAY RESULT IN
EXCESSIVE OPERATOR EFFORT AND
ADECREASE IN MOBILITY.
SECTION 5.0 Installation
5.1 Mounting Position
Correct installation is extremely important to achieve maximum efficiency for
both the Whizard®unit and the operator. Incorrect installation may possibly
hamper the operator's movements and cause undue wear or damage to the flex
shaft and flex shaft casing parts of the unit.
The yoke should be rigidly mounted and parallel to the work station.
