Clean Up
The table and guard pieces come with a protec- tive coating. Peel this off before cleaning these pieces. Clean and sanitize all parts of the saw that will be in contact with meat or any other food items. The smaller items and table will fit in most dishwashers. This is probably the easiest method of cleaning and sanitizing these parts. For the larger parts of the saw, if a dishwasher is not a viable option, clean with a sanitizing agent. See Section 5: Sanitization on page 23 for more details on sanitizing. Get in the habit of cleaning your saw thoroughly to avoid contamination and illness.
When cleaning with sanitizers, always follow the recommendations on the manufacturer's label, and make sure that the product will do the job for which you intend. Never use a product that will make your meat unsafe for human consumption. Failure to follow this warning may lead to sickness or death!
Site Considerations
Floor Load
The Model H6246 weighs 154 lbs. and has a base footprint of 19" W x 16" D. Most floors are suitable for your machine. Some residential floors may require additional reinforcement to support both the machine and operator. Never operate the machine without solid footing.
Working Clearances
Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your saw. See Figure 4 for the minimum working clearances of the Model H6246.
