The user should read and understand the PAD-350 and the attachment
instructions prior to operation. First time operators should be properly trained in safety
precautions and in the proper use and servicing of this equipment and attachments.
Switch the power "OFF" and disconnect the electrical suply before
mounting or disengaging an attachment, or for cleaning and servicing the equipment.
Before, connecting unit to power source it should also be in the "OFF"
position.
-Never insert hands into the hopper.
-Never insert any utensil into the hopper.
4.1. Note that the front housing of the attachment has a feed hopper. It
is also equipped witha a feed plate. Food to be processed must always be fed to cutting
surfaces by way of the hopper, and compressed against cutting sufaces with the feed
plate. Never try to feed product to cutting surfaces with your hands or any other way!
4.2. If during operation of a product jam occurs, immediately turn off
and disconnect the electrical supply to the power source equipment. Make sure rotation

the obstruction. Do not try to clear obstructions while the attachment is under power, and
again, never insert fingers or utensils into the hopper!
4.3. Wear protective gloves whenever handling the attachment's
knives, cutting plates, or cutting assemblies. They are very sharp and can cut you. For
safety, wash knives and cutting plates with a long handled scrub brush.
4.4. When assembling or disassembling the attachment, make sure it
rests on a stable working surface. Never rest knives, cutting plates or cutting assemblies
on surfaces that could be marred.
4.5. Before assembling the attachment and mounting it to power
source equipment, make sure that a comfortable working clearance has been
provided around the machinery. Always install the machinery where it will save the
operator steps.
4.6. Before assembling the attachment and mounting t to power
source equipment or dismounting the attachment after use, disconnect or lockout the
