Assembly Instructions
Unpacking
Carefully unpack all components from the carton and where applicable, clean
any protective lubricant from the appropriate parts with mineral spirits. Remove
any protective film from the bright components. The following illustration is a
guide to the various components on the B1012 Craftex Meat Cutting Band saw.

7
Assembling the Band Saw to the Base
There are three (A) elliptical holes in the top of the base and these should line up with the base of
the band saw. Using the appropriate nuts and bolts, fit the saw on the base and tighten securely.
Band Saw Assembly
Assemble the meat cutting band saw as indicated in the schematic on page.
Metal Stand
Assemble the metal
stand as shown in the
following schematic
(See page 16 for an
exploded view)

8
Sliding Table Assembly
Assemble the sliding table as indicated in
the following schematic diagram.
(See page 18 for an exploded view)
Assembly of the Rollers
Mount the four rollers on the band saw
frame as shown. Do not tighten, as further
adjustments may be required.
Assembly of the Table
Place the two guide rails on the underside of the table, using screws and washers to fix one end
of the rails to the table. Place the table on the saw frame
and carefully adjust the rails and rollers to make sure
that the table assembly slides smoothly.

9
Assembly of the Meat Grinder
The following illustration shows the components and assembly procedure of the included meat
grinder. The photo shows the position on the band saw and the lock knob.
Assembly of the “L”
Plate
As shown, fix the “L” plate onto the
table edge, then screw and tighten
the other end of the rails on the
table. Adjust the table to be sure
that the bandsaw blade is in the
middle of the opening. You may
now tighten the four rollers.

B1012 MEAT CUTTING BANDSAW
Operating Instructions
Health and Safety
It is important to keep the Craftex B1012 Meat Cutting Band saw, Meat Grinder
and Sausage Stuffer clean and sanitary at all times during the operation of the
machine. Failure to do so could cause contamination of the meat being cut
causing severe or even fatal illness.
YOUR MEAT CUTTING BAND SAW MUST BE CLEANED AFTER EACH USE!
A thorough cleaning should be performed inside and outside the machine prior to
changing to another type of meat (beef to pork etc.).
Sanitary clothing including rubber or other sanitary gloves should be used to
prevent meat contamination.
You can clean your meat band saw thoroughly with anti-bacterial soap and water
or bleach after each use. Your saw was designed with cleaning in mind, so it can
be performed with relative ease.
Power Switch
The power switch, located on the base of the B1012 is
designed to prevent unauthorized use. In the off position,
simply remove the switch and store in a secure place. The
B1012 is pre-wired for 110-volt operation but may be
altered to 220 volts. A qualified electrician should be
consulted for this conversion.
Adjusting the Drive Wheels
The drive wheels must be vertically true so that the ‘V’
belt runs true. Removing the rear base cabinet panel will
allow access to the lower motor mounting bolts. Loosen
these bolts accordingly.

11
Adjusting the Band saw Blade
The band saw blade must run vertically true to prevent it from running off the
wheels.
Remove the upper wheel cover by removing
the two thumbscrews on either side of the
cover.
There are four Allen screws located around the
axle of the upper blade wheel. Adjusting these
will alter the horizontal and vertical position of
the upper wheel. The band saw blade must ride
on the center of both the upper and lower
wheels.
Blade Tension
The band saw blade must have enough tension on
it to remain on the center of the wheels and to cut
in a straight line.
With the upper wheel cover removed, a hex-bolt
will be seen on the upper portion of the saw frame.
Tightening or loosening this will alter the band saw
blade tension.

12
Adjusting Guide Blocks
The upper and lower guide blocks must be properly positioned to accurately
guide the band saw blade. These blocks
should be close (but not tight) on the saw
blade and positioned slightly behind the gullet
of the blade.
Adjusting Wheel Bearing Guides
The wheel bearing guides are designed to
prevent the band saw blade from being
pushed off the wheels. These wheel-bearing
guides should be adjusted so that they are
just touching the back of the blade when the
blade is riding on the center of the wheels.
Upper Fence Guard
The upper fence guard should be
positioned so that it is about 1/4" above the
high point of the meat being cut. The fence
lock knob as illustrated adjusts the guard.
Upper Blade Guard
The upper blade guard is a safety guard to
protect your hands and fingers from the
moving band saw blade and should be
positioned to do so. Loosening the knob will
allow the guard to be moved up or down.

13
Fence and Pusher
The fence may be adjusted to give you
consistency in the thickness of the meat
slices. The pusher allows you to cut the
meat while keeping your hands at a safe
distance from the moving saw blade. Both
the fence and the pusher can be locked into
position by tightening the lock knobs A and
B.
Installing the Meat Grinder and Sausage Stuffer
The meat grinder and sausage stuffer should not be in position when using the
B1012 Meat Cutting Band saw to cut
meat as it may interfere with the operation
of the sliding table.
To install the meat grinder, loosen the
release knob and simply press into place.
To install or remove the sausage stuffer,
unscrew the outer ring.
