packaging.
• DO NOT pull or push on the throat of the mincer/grinder when unpacking or moving the machine.
INSTALLATION
1. Place the mincer/grinder in a clean work area that is free of obstacles and that has a level, skid-free, at
surface. If the mincer/grinder is a table model, it must be mounted on a stable surface that is sturdy enough
to support its weight. The work area must be well-lit and have adequate ventilation. Leave enough space
around the machine to facilitate its use, cleaning, and maintenance. Position the machine so that the power
cord’s plug is easily accessible to the user. The plug must conform to local electrical standards and be
suitable for use with this type of machine.
2. Inspect the feed pan’s hand guard to make certain that it has not been bent or dented during transport. DO
NOT use the mincer/grinder if the hand guard is damaged in any way.
3. Consult the machine’s specications plate or TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS to verify that the motor
specications (voltage, frequency, etc.) match the electrical service at the workplace. The line voltage must
be up to specication. Rated voltage shall be identical with full supply voltage.
PLEASE NOTE: there is a tolerance of ±10% for voltage and of ±2% for frequency.
- If the machine’s voltage is not compatible with your electrical service AND the machine has a three-
phase, dual-voltage motor, proceed with the instructions in CHANGING THE VOLTAGE.
- If the machine’s voltage is not compatible with the electrical service and it is not equipped with a dual-
voltage motor, call a qualied electrician to resolve the incongruity.
- If the machine’s voltage is compatible with your electrical service, proceed with the instructions in
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD!
• This machine must be installed only by a qualied technician and in compliance with applicable national,
regional and local electrical, safety, hygiene and building codes.
• The workplace electrical wiring should be equipped with magneto-thermic and di󰀨erential residual circuit
breakers to fully protect against power surges. A qualied electrician must adjust these safety devices to
the specications of your particular machine.
IMPORTANT!
Check the wiring before plugging the machine to the electrical outlet! The power cord’s wiring is normally
assigned as follows: PHASES: black, brown or gray. GROUND: bi-colored yellow/green or just green in some
non-CE/CEN/UE countries.
CHANGING THE VOLTAGE (3-PHASE MACHINES)
1. The machine MUST remain disconnected from the power supply during this procedure.
2. Remove the four screws securing the feed pan and remove the pan.
3. Lift out by its edges the polyurethane insulating plate exposed by removal of the pan. ALWAYS put the tray
and its polyurethane insulating plate back in place before plugging in and testing the machine.
4. Modify the MOTOR as follows:
- Unseal the motor’s terminal box by removing the four screws that secure its cover.
- Remove the six small holding nuts from the connection terminals.

9
Installation
Operation
- Position the plates in the correct conguration.
- Replace and tighten the holding nuts.
- Reseal the motor’s terminal box.
5. Replace the SAFETY SWITCH with one that matches your electrical service.
WARNING!
• These instructions apply only to 3-phase machines with dual-voltage 400/380V or 230/220V motors and
must be carried out by a qualied electrician!
• NEVER turn the machine on without the tray in place.
• The tray and the insulating plate must only be removed by an authorized service technician and only in
order to make adjustments or to perform maintenance.
• READ THIS MANUAL THOROUGHLY BEFORE OPERATING THE MINCER/GRINDER!
• This machine is not designed for constant, uninterrupted use, but rather to run intermittently to allow
dissipation of the heat generated. The amount of heat produced will depend on the consistency of the
meat, the hole diameters of the plates and the number of plates used.
• DO NOT use this mincer/grinder to dice or mince vegetables, dried fruit, or any other non-meat food. Use
only meat products suitable for grinding/mincing. Omcan shall not be responsible for any improper use or
misuse of the machine, and such use or misuse shall be at the sole risk and liability of the user.
1. Remove the worm and cutting set in order to test the machine before using it with food. Follow the steps
outlined in DISMANTLING/ASSEMBLING THE CUTTING SET AND WORM to remove the worm and
cutting elements. The worm and cutting set must NEVER be put in operation without food in the machine.
2. Power on the mincer/grinder by plugging it to an electrical outlet and turning the main switch to the I-START
position. If the machine has a three-phase motor, verify that the shaft turns in a counterclockwise direction
when viewed from the front. If this is not the case, immediately turn o󰀨 the machine and have a qualied
electrician swap two of the phases at the power cord’s plug.
3. While the mincer/grinder is unplugged, carefully wash the tray (including the feed shaft), the throat,
the worm, the cutting set and the plate-holding nut by following the instructions in CLEANING. When
reassembling the mincer/grinder after cleaning, rmly secure the throat to the cabinet by tightening the
throat locking knobs. Furthermore, make sure that the worm, the knives and the plates are installed
correctly. NEVER over tighten the plate holding nut, as this will only create excessive friction which could
overheat the cutting set.
4. Before operating the machine, lubricate the edge of both the plate and the knife with animal fat or
vegetable oil.
5. Plug the machine to an electrical outlet.
6. Put the meat into the mincer/grinder using the Omcan feed stomper provided. DO NOT place or balance
meat containers on the machine itself.
7. Turn the main switch to the I-START position to begin grinding. If the worm should become jammed or
stuck:

10
Operation
- Stop the machine immediately and disconnect it from the power source.
- Dismantle the cutting set and worm and remove whatever is impeding the machine’s proper functioning.
Be careful not to force or damage the cutting throat.
- Reassemble the cutting set and the worm.
8. Turn the main switch to the 0-STOP position to power o󰀨 the machine and stop the worm from turning.
9. When nished using the machine, unplug it from the electrical outlet and clean it following the instructions
in CLEANING.
FIRE HAZARD!
NEVER use the mincer/grinder when empty as the plates and knives can reach temperatures of up to
1800°C/1000°F in less than three minutes!
WARNING!
• NEVER handle the knives without adequate protection (e.g. reinforced metal ber gloves).
• The plates and knives must be assembled or dismantled while the throat is mounted on the mincer/grinder,
one at a time in the indicated sequence, and secured correctly.
IMPORTANT!
Before assembling the cutting set, completely remove any accumulated meat products from the plates,
knives, knife shaft, worm and throat and carefully clean these components so that they can be assembled and
adjusted precisely.
RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING PLATES AND KNIVES
• The cutting set MUST have a nal plate. In European Union countries and those within the CEN, the hole
diameters of the this plate must comply with CE norms (the holes must be ≤ 8mm). The thickness of the
nal plate is not allowed to be less than 5 mm, also after being regrinded.
• Make sure to mount the knives and plates in the correct order (System Unger). Wrong orientation,
especially of the conical 3-hole kidney pre-cutting plate can cause breakages of the knives and / or knives
shaft.
• For optimal results it is essential to keep the cutting edges of the plates and knives in perfect condition.
Sharpen them when necessary and replace them when the plate holding nut no longer exerts su󰀩cient
pressure on them. Always pair o󰀨 and use the cutting elements together.
• Replace the worm when it shows signs of wear or if there is too much space between cutting elements
since this could cause the knives to rotate irregularly on the plates, accelerating knife wear and possibly
leading to breakage. The key pin which holds the plate should also be replaced if it shows signs of wear as
operating the machine with a worn pin could have similar consequences.
• ALWAYS store and transport the knives in their original packaging; this will protect you from potential injury
and help guard the knives’ cutting edges from accidental knocks or scratches.
• Under conditions of extreme stress the knife and plate support shaft functions like a protective “mechanical
fuse.” In such unintended circumstances the shaft may break in order to protect other mechanical
components such as the internal gear. The following recommendations will help you avoid breaking the
shaft:
- DO NOT use plates and knives that are not approved by Omcan. OEM plates and knives may be
purchased from your authorized Omcan dealer. ALWAYS assemble the plates and knives correctly and

11
Operation
Maintenance
carefully.
- DO NOT use knives with worn cutting edges.
- DO NOT process unsuitable products such as bone, skin, tendons, etc. that may become snagged.
- BE CAREFUL not to accidentally drop foreign objects (tools, metal objects, etc.) that may jam the worm
into the feed shaft.
DISMANTLING/ASSEMBLING THE CUTTING SET AND WORM
WARNING!
• ALWAYS stop the machine by turning the main switch to the 0-STOP position and unplug it from the
electrical outlet before dismantling or assembling the cutting set and worm.
• ALWAYS assemble and dismantle the cutting set and worm while the throat is mounted on the mincer/
grinder. ALWAYS follow the safety warnings provided in this instruction manual.
1. Remove the feed stomper from the tray’s feed shaft.
2. Manually loosen and remove the plate-holding nut by turning it counterclockwise; DO NOT use hammers
or other heavy tools to loosen the plate-holding nut. Be careful not to drop the plate holding nut so as not to
injure yourself or damage the piece.
3. Use the extracting wrench shipped with the machine to pull out the cutting group approximately two or
three cm in order to remove the plates, knives and worm separately. Once dismantled, do not drop the
pieces or allow them to knock against each other as this could later prevent correct reassembly.
4. Loosen and remove the two locking knobs holding the throat in place.
5. To remove the throat, grip it with both hands and gently pull it outward.
6. To assemble the di󰀨erent cutting systems. Verify that the worm-turning shaft coincides with that of the
cabinet.
7. Repeat the above steps in reverse order to replace the throat; remember to rmly tighten the two throat
locking knobs.
8. Once all the cutting elements have been assembled, we recommend turning the machine on for a just a
few seconds, and then turning it o󰀨 and retightening the plate-holding nut.
CLEANING
The machine should be cleaned before and after each use. Since all its components are easily accessible,
your Omcan mincer/grinder is easy to clean.
For proper cleaning, proceed as follows:
After using the machine, power it o󰀨 by turning the main switch to the 0-STOP position and unplug it from the
electrical outlet. Use warm water and a mild detergent to clean the tray and its feed shaft, the throat with its
locking knobs, the worm, the plates, the knives, the compensating ring (if present), the plate holding nut, and
the feed stomper. To allow for proper assembly of the pieces, it is also necessary to clean the shaft which holds

12
Maintenance
the knives and plates, the shaft of the worm, and the shaft of the cabinet. If necessary, the removable throat’s
thread and the key pin with its corresponding holding screw should be cleaned with a brush.
• AVOID getting water into the machine’s interior; NEVER use a pressurized stream of water to clean the
machine.
• ALWAYS use appropriate protection (latex gloves, plastic apron, etc.) when manually cleaning the machine.
• ALWAYS rinse the machine thoroughly after using any detergent or disinfectant to prevent contamination of
the meat.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS!
• ALWAYS disconnect the machine from the power source before proceeding with its cleaning.
• Removal of the loading pan during cleaning is STRICTLY PROHIBITED in order to avoid accidents.
• NEVER use bleach or any abrasive cleaners which might damage the stainless steel. Use of abrasive
cleaners will void the warranty!

STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Important: Never use aggressive cleaners with stainless steel such as bleach or similar chlorine
derivatives products. If you have used it, never leave acting, rinse immediately with plenty of water and
dry thoroughly.
It is uncommon, but possible, that small traces of rust or oxidation points may be observed on the machine.
This may be due to:
• Welding impurities.
• Food fragments adhering to the surface.
• Pits resulting from use of aggressive cleaners such as bleach or similar chlorine derivatives products.
• Moisture after cleaning with water. Always wipe dry all components that have been cleaned.
To remove these rust spots simply use a liquid stripper with a cloth, or clean with Scotch Brite.
MAINTENANCE
Except for cleaning before and after each use, your Omcan mincer/grinder does not require any special
maintenance. The operator, however, must routinely inspect those machine components that are subject
to wear, especially the plates and knives. Under normal conditions, it is unnecessary to change the oil in
the gear reducer. Should an oil change become necessary, we recommend the use of Natosbin B1600EP,
manufactured by Klüber Lubrication. The capacity of the gear reducer is 1 kg (1.5 kg in W130 model).
WARNING!
• All electrical and mechanical repairs MUST be carried out by a qualied electrician or licensed technician.
• If you detect that the reducer is leaking oil, promptly notify the service department of the dealer from whom
you purchased the machine.
• If the power cord becomes damaged, immediately replace it with a cord of identical technical
characteristics; your local distributor can supply you with one.

Maintenance
Troubleshooting
KNIFE MAINTENANCE
Omcan mincers/grinders are supplied with high quality, self-sharpening knives from Lumbeck & Wolter
(Germany). Anyhow, if grinding quality deteriorates appreciably, we recommend that you have a qualied
professional sharpen the knives and plates. Dull or improperly sharpened knives may leave the nished meat
product with an unsatisfactory texture. The knives should be replaced once the plate holding nut does not exert
su󰀩cient pressure on them. Always pair and use the cutting elements together. We recommend that you clean
the steel knives with an anticorrosive product.
WARNING!
ALWAYS use extreme caution and wear protection (such as reinforced metal ber gloves) when handling the
knives.
