Immediately after unpacking the meat saw, check for possible shipping damage.  If the meat saw is
found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Prior to installation, test the electrical service to make sure it agrees with the specifications on the
machine data plate located on the base.

Packed in the scrap pan in the base compartment are the pusher plate, feet, and set screws.  Place
the pusher plate in its storage location under the carriage support (Fig. 1).  Remove the four shipping
bolts from the underside of the skid.  Apply Lubriplate 630AA grease (supplied) to the threaded studs
of the four feet; assemble the feet to the legs (Fig. 1).  Tilt to one side and install two feet, then tilt the
other way and install the two remaining feet.

Place the saw in its operating location.  Using a spirit level, level the meat saw front-to-back and side-
to-side by turning the feet in or out.  Lock feet in place using set screws furnished.

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT
SWITCH INDICATING THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.

The saw blade must be installed so the teeth point to
the right and down (Fig. 2).

When the saw is off, the hand knob (Fig. 2) can be
used to raise or lower the upper guide and guard
assembly so the cutting zone is only as high as
necessary for the piece being cut.  The hand knob is
not loosened during raising or lowering — it should
remain tightly secure.

The upper pulley wiper (Fig. 4) is attached to the head
by a threaded stud and knob; it wipes the upper pulley
and blade during use.

The head door (Fig. 1) should be installed on the two
hinge pins and closed during saw use.  To remove the
head door for cleaning, open the door and lift straight
up off the hinge pins.
