3.2 Safety Measures and User Instruction
Your machine has mechanical protections and a safety system that prevents the machine
from operating if the door is open. Removal or tampering with these safety components can cause
serious hazards to the operator.
ATTENTION!
Before operating your machine, check that the blade teeth are pointing downward, and that
the direction of rotation of the wheels is counterclockwise. To do this, turn on the machine
by pressing the power button in the "1" position (on). Position yourself in front of the
machine and see if the blade moves up and down, as shown below.
In this image, just to illustrate the direction of rotation of the wheels, they are seen with the
door open, but for practical verification, do not open the door, since the machine has a
safety system that will not allow its activation if the door is open. Always check the direction
of rotation with the doors closed and locked with the knobs.
If the blade is moving from the bottom to the top (clockwise rotation), check that the
electrical connection is reversed in relation to the wiring diagram (item 6 - Attachments) or
contact your nearest authorized service center.
4. USE OF THE MACHINE
4.1Utility
All saw models described in this manual are intended for sawing, slicing meats, poultry, fish,
and various food products. In model SFP8 (has a grinder), besides sawing and slicing also grinds
meats.

8
4.2Commands
The machine consists of a master key (switch), on / off and emergency button.
On the left side are the on / off and emergency buttons. The main switch is positioned on the
right side of the case.
See description of each command below:
•Master key (Switch) - equipment used to safely and permanently activate and deactivate the
electric power supply to the machine. In position "1" active, in position "0" disables power supply.

4.3 Operating Procedures
Before operating your machine, make the perfect sanitation, especially of the components
that will come in contact with the food (blade, wheels, table, etc.). Do the cleaning with the machine
disconnected from the mains. Follow the cleaning instructions in item 5 of this manual.
•Dismantling the grinder (Saw Model SFP8): Disconnect the machine from the mains. Remove the
socket and the tray. Unscrew the knob and pull the nozzle firmly. To remove the internal components,
unscrew the nozzle nut, remove the disk, cross blade, spool pin, and spool.

9
•Assembly of the grinder (Saw Model SFP8): The assembly procedure is the reverse of the
disassembly. When tightening the nozzle nut, do not tighten it, only rotate until the end of the thread,
but without tightening. To reassemble the nozzle, make sure that all the internal parts are assembled
(disc, cross knife, spool pin and spool), and then attach it perfectly to the holder and attach it with the
knob. With the nozzle attached, mount the tray.
If you feel that the nozzle is not firm, it may not have been properly attached. In this case, repeat the
operation and if it does not succeed, contact your service representative.
ATTENTION!
Never start the machine with the nozzle out of position and without the nozzle guard, as this
may cause accidents.
•Operation: The machine can only be operated after checking that the voltage is in accordance with
the mains voltage, if the machine is positioned in an ideal location (as per guidelines in item 3.1), if
the wheels are rotating counterclockwise ( instructions in item 3.2 Safety Measures) and that the door
is closed and locked with the knobs.
ATTENTION!
For the SFP8 Band Saw model (with grinder), the band saw and the grinder operate
simultaneously, but for your safety and to avoid damaging the machine, do not use both
functions at the same time.
Before starting the cutting operation, loosen the grinder nut counterclockwise. And to use
the grinder, remove the blade according to the instructions of item 5.2 (Maintenance and
Behavior in case of breakdowns).
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages caused by non-
compliance with these standards and other instructions presented in this manual.

10
•Cutting Operation:
For the SFP8 saw model, before starting the cutting operation, loosen the grinder nut
counterclockwise.
1. Connect the power cord to the mains;
2. Place the food to be processed on the attached table;
IMPORTANT
Never place a cutting food larger than the mobile table.
1. Turn the power switch to "1" (on). At that moment the blade begins to rotate;
2. Push the meat with the pendulum pusher steadily toward the blade and start cutting;
3. With your right hand, remove the slice behind the blade, avoiding contact with the cutting area.
Stack the slices on the right side of the attached table;
4. Repeat the procedure until the end of the process;

11
ATTENTION!
When repeating the cutting operation, be careful when pulling the food forward of the
attached table so that it does not touch the back (smooth) of the blade. In this way there is
no risk of the food moving or even releasing the blade from the wheels, causing accidents.
5. After completing the cutting procedure, turn off the machine by pressing the power button in
the "0" (off) position.
ATTENTION!
Always use the pendulum pusher of the machine to direct the food against the blade. Under
no circumstances push with any other instrument or with your own hands the food against
the blade.
IMPORTANT
Check the blade tension. When the tension is insufficient, cutting deviations and premature
wear of the blade occurs. If it is necessary to adjust it, follow the instructions in item
5.2 (Maintenance and Behavior in Case of breakdowns) of this manual.
ATTENTION!
Never place your hands, fingers or objects (such as spoons and knives) on the cutting blade
while the machine is on as this may cause serious accidents.
•Operation of the grinder (model SFP8):
1. Remove the blade according to the instructions in item 5.2 (Maintenance and Behavior in
case of breakdowns);
2. Connect the power cord to the mains;
3. Position a pan under the nozzle to collect ground meat;
4. Place cut food into strips on tray;
5. Turn the power switch to "1" (on). At that moment the spool of the grinder begins to rotate;
6. Push the meat with the socket into the nozzle.
ATTENTION!
Use only the socket to push the meat into the nozzle. Never use hands or other objects other
than the socket.

12
ATTENTION!
If you notice that the machine can not slice the food or that it is not slicing, do not cut foods
too thick, so as not to impair the speed and performance of the motor and the life of the
machine.
Push the food against the blade in a straight line. Do not divert the cut during the process as
this can cause accidents and blade damage.
Failure to observe this guideline will be considered as an unsafe act and abusive use of
equipment.
Any irregularities please contact the authorized service center nearest you.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance
5.1Cleaning Procedures and Products Used
Your machine was built with first-line materials, so use it properly and you will get great
satisfaction. Keep your machine always clean and well-cared for, which will make it much more
durable.
A daily cleaning of the machine must be carried out for good operation and durability.
ATTENTION!
Before performing maintenance or cleaning, make sure that the master switch (switch) is off
and that the plug is disconnected from the mains.
ATTENTION!
Do not use water jet to clean the machine.
IMPORTANT
This machine is not intended to be immersed in water for cleaning.
The machine should be cleaned as many times as possible to prevent food residue from drying
out and sticking to parts. For cleaning, dilute soap or detergent in warm water

13
neutral and apply with a soft cloth. With a cloth moistened with water, rinse and then wipe the parts
with a dry cloth.
In the model of saw SFP8, it has the grinder that can be removed and disassembled for the
cleaning. Follow the disassembly / assembly guidelines in item 4.3 and clean with mild soap or
detergent and running water.
Never use abrasive products or sponges and substances containing acids or chlorine to clean
the metal parts, as they may scratch or damage the surface of the parts causing corrosion. Do not
spill water on the engine and electrical parts for cleaning, otherwise, turning it on may cause electric
shock or even burn the machine.
ATTENTION!
It is extremely important that products used in cleaning ensure maximum cleanliness and
are non-toxic.
Dry the blade thoroughly. Moisture compromises the life of the blade and yield of the
cutting process.
ATTENTION!
Take care when cleaning near the blade, it is extremely sharp. Knob with care as this may
cause accidents. The same attention is paid to any other cutting component of the machine.
5.2 Maintenance and Behavior in Case of Breakdowns
The operator must be instructed to perform routine inspections, making minor adjustments,
the cleaning and observe indications of breakdowns that may occur. Examples include: checking for
strange noise; loss of machine power; the non-execution by the machine of the service to which it is
proposed; among others. Actions like these are indispensable to ensure a longer machine life.
ATTENTION!
When servicing (even minor adjustments), always disconnect the machine from the mains.
It is recommended to carry out preventive maintenance every 6 months, checking and
adjusting clearances, cleaning internal parts, wear and tightening (tensioning) of the motor belt
(following guidelines),etc... When detecting broken or weakened parts, replace with original parts.
By performing preventive maintenance, you eliminate the inconvenience of getting the
equipment stopped when you need it most, reducing the cost of maintenance and reducing the risk of
accidents.

14
ATTENTION!
Before adjusting or changing the blade, make sure the machine is disconnected from the
mains, if the operator is using the appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment) and
appropriate tools for disassembly and assembly of the parts cited below.
•Procedure for Adjusting and Changing the Blade (Band Saw):
Blade Adjustment:
