Additional Safety for Meat Saws
BLADE CONDITION. Do not operate with dull,
cracked or badly worn blade. Dull blades require
more effort when cutting and increase the risk of
kickback. Inspect blades for cracks and missing
teeth before each use.
HAND PLACEMENT. To prevent laceration or
amputation injuries, never position hand or fingers
in-line with blade. Wait for meat to move com-
pletely through the cut with help of included push-
through tool before removing cut-off piece.
WORKPIECE MATERIAL. This machine is
designed to cut fresh and frozen meat and bones.
This machine is NOT designed to cut wood, metal,
glass, stone, tile, etc.
GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers protect
operator from moving bandsaw blade. ONLY oper-
ate saw with guards and covers secured in proper
position.
CLEANING & SANITIZING. Keep machine and
work area clean and sanitary using solutions
approved for food processing. DO NOT use sol-
vents that can contaminate meat and cause ill-
ness. Properly clean and sanitize saw before and
after each use.
USDA REGULATIONS. If you are not familiar with
safe meat handling techniques, contact your local
Board of Health or the USDA for proper sanitary
procedures.
WEARING APPAREL. Always wear approved
clothing and face protection during operation and
cleaning/sanitizing.
PERSONAL HYGIENE.
To avoid introduc-
ing harmful contaminants to food, always keep
your exposed skin clean and sanitized. Cover all
exposed body hair and use gloves designed for
food processing when operating saw.
BLADE REPLACEMENT. To avoid mishaps that
could result in operator injury, make sure blade
teeth face down toward the table and the blade is
properly tensioned and tracked before operating.
SUPPORTING CUTS. Cuts should always be fully
supported by table, fence, and included push-
through tool. If necessary to maintain safe cuts,
use auxiliary fixtures. Do not cut very small or thin
pieces that are hard to control.
BLADE CONTROL. To avoid serious personal
injury, DO NOT attempt to stop or slow the blade
with your hand or workpiece. Turn bandsaw OFF
and wait for blade to come to a complete stop
before trying to remove jammed meat or free a
stalled blade.
BLADE SPEED. Moving meat or bone against a
blade that is not at full speed could cause blade
to grab workpiece and draw operator’s hands into
blade. Always allow the blade to come to full speed
before starting the cut.
FEED RATE. To avoid risk of meat or bone slip-
ping and drawing hands into blade, always feed
material evenly and smoothly. DO NOT force,
twist, or jam material into blade, especially when
sawing through bone.
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are fre-
quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect
and caution to reduce the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
