Warning
“It is important that the owner and the person operating
this machine carefully reads the content of the manual
of operation, service and maintenance before using it.”
• The meat equipment machinery is designed to cut meat, bone, and other food industry
related products. Due to its nature, if not used properly or without the due knowledge
to operate the machine, its misuse can be of extreme danger to the person
operating the machine. .
• Do not allow children, minors and people without the knowledge or experience on
how to use the machine, operare it. .
• Don´t use your hands to maneuver the product about to be sliced when the distance is
less than 4 inches from the cutting blade to the product. In case of not following instruc-
tions the operator could suffer from severe injuries or mutilations. .
• Never leave the electricity output connected while doing any maintenance service,
cleaning or other service .
• While using the machine, make sure that there aren´t any loose parts or moving parts
since it may cause an injury or amputate the operator. Make sure the protective guard
is in place and keep your hands from a safe distance of the cutting band saw blade.
• Always, before cleaning the machine, make sure you´ve turned off and disconnected the
electric output. .

“Disconnect the machine from electric output before
following the next instructions.”
5.- Changing the saw blade: Open the upper and lower doors, remove the mobile protective
guard and push upperwise to set free both guides. Rotate the tension handle counterclock-
wise until you see the saw blade loose and you can remove it. There´s no need to loosen up
for completely the tension handle, just enough so you can remove it. Move the nylon guide
upperwise and place the saw blade in between the scrapers and upper and lower guides
making sure that the teeth of the saw blade are facing down to get a correct cut. Once
correctly placed, rotate the tension handle in clockwise direction, once you hear click and can
correctly rotate the upper and lower pulley, place the mobile protective guard again in it´s
original place and lower down the nylon guide so it´s at the same level as the stainless
steel one. .
6.- Place waste tray below the lower pulley so waste accumulates there and clean up is easier.
7.- Once you´ve finished all the above steps, the machine should be ready to use.
Installation
1.- Place the machine in a clean, dry and leveled surface. In order to level the machine and
have better stability, you must adjust the leveling legs and place the rubber foot. Make sure
that your electric output has a groundable point and a thermally protected outlet, this will
give better protection to your machine. Place the 4 rubber bumpers once the machine is
positioned. d
2.- The table carriage can easily move sideways to facilitate the operators job.
To prevent the table from falling, place the stop carriage block, you can unlock it for
cleaning purposes. Install the table assy by placing both rods on each base hole and once
its correctly placed, then use the lock lever. .
3.- How to change and adjust saw blade: this machine has an automatic adjustable tension
system, which helps the saw blade reach its ideal tension, the correct alignment with the
upper/lower pulleys and guides. This system is designed to maximize the meat saw
machine potential and help the operator have better cuts, less waste and prolong the saw
blade´s life. .
4.- The equipment already includes the saw blade. Open the upper and lower door, rotate
the tension handle in clockwise direction until you hear a “CLICK” and see the handle jump.
This sound and movement will indicate us that you have reached the required tension
for the machine. Once you´ve done this, make sure the pulley and saw blade move freely
throughout the machine. .

Recommendations
1.- Don´t force the cut into the blade. Make sure the cutting band blade has enough
sharpness to make the perfect cut go smoothly against the meat. In case it isn´t cutting
as smoothly as it should you should try changing the cutting band saw blade. It´s important
to remember that every cutting band saw blade has it´s durability and it´s betterto change
the blade saw than to waste product having a bad cut. .
2.- Make sure the lower guide and the nylon guide are free from any waste or item blocking
them. since its purpose is to clean the waste on the saw machine. Make sure that the
cutting band saw blade passes thorughout. .
3.- Make sure the scrapers are making contact with the lower pulley and saw blade, this will
make your machine work better. Change in case of wear or tear. The lower pulley has scrapers
in order to prevent waste from stying in the cutting band saw blade and
causing the machine to have problems. .
4.- Always use frozen meat. .
“It is important that the owner and the person operating this
machine carefully reads the content of the manual
of operation, service and maintenance before using it.”

“It is important that the owner and the person operating this
machine carefully reads the content of the manual

Operation
1.- Adjust the thickness of the cut using the gauge plate assy .
2.- Place the product in the carriage table. e
3.- Adjust the protective guard leaving exposed only the cutting saw blade that is going
to be used. .
WARNING: ALWAYS ADJUST THE PROTECTIVE GUARD WHEN THE MACHINE
IS TURNED OFF AND DISCONECTED TO POWER OUTPUT T
4.- Turn on the machine by pushing the green button, make sure both upper and lower door
are closed since the security interruptor will prevent the equipment from turning on if not
correctly closed. .
5.- Press the product against the gauge plate assy and don´t place your fingers or hands
close to the cutting saw blade. Make sure to turn OFF the machine while not using it and keep it
disconnected from the power output. .
.

1.- Never use cleaning supplies that have chlorine, vinegar or any citric acid. These supplies
can cause damage to the stainless steel protective layer and show oxidation. .
2.- Open the upper and lower doors and with a hose water down all the waste that´s
inside the machine. .
3.- After doing step 2, use a soft brush and detergent mixed with water. Clean all the
cutting band saw machine areas. Make sure to not use a spatula or sharp objects that
can damage the stainless steel protective layer. .
4.- You can use a hose to splash water directly into the machine, your equipment is
fully protected for this, just make sure there´s no water leak into the motor cabinet.
1.- Blade: Daily: Check the sharpness every day to make sure that you´re getting the best
cut and not wasting any product by forcing a cut .
2.- ON and OFF button: Daily: Make sure that the buttons are in a good state, in case
they present damage, the machine could have trouble turning ON or OFF
3.- Guides: Daily: Make sure it´s not broken or have any visible damage. It´s incorrect
state can cause the cutting band saw blade to move while using the machine and have
a negative effect with the cut. .
4.- Scrapers: Weekly: Make sure that it´s correctly aligned and fullfiling its task.
In case you see damaged scrapers, make sure to replace it since the damage can cause
the machine to stop working. .
