2. Product
This Bandsaw model is a newly developed product with high eciency and low consumpon, streamline looks and easy opera-
on. The saw is designed to slice frozen meat or sh and bone by a bandsaw blade operated by an electric motor. The body,
frame and cover of the saw are made out of Stainless Steel for durability, an-rust properes and ease of cleaning. Fied to
the saw there is a thickness adjustment plate, to adjust slicing thickness and prevent any trembling of the blades. The blade
also runs through guides to allow for straight cuts.
For safety purposes there is a safety clamp on the body cover. At the top of the saw is a tension adjustment knob so that the
workers can easily maintain the proper tension of the saw if necessary.
In order to minimize the heat from the motor, there is a venlaon hole on the motor cover and to protect the motor from
there is silicone seal on the front cover.
The operaon switch has a safety guard to prevent any accidental or careless operaon.
WARNING!
Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
