INSTALLATION

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY

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.

LEVELING

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.

SAW BLADE

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

UPPER GUIDE AND GUARD ASSEMBLY

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.

UPPER PULLEY WIPER

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.

HEAD DOOR

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.
