H6246 Meat Cutting Bandsaw
Cutting Meat
Your Model H6246 Meat-Cutting Bandsaw will
cut through any fresh meat and almost all frozen
meat.
To cut meat with your bandsaw:
1. Use the side fence to gauge the thickness
of your desired cut. The front fence should
brace the meat. Make sure the fences will
not be in line with the cut.
2. Turn the bandsaw ON and slowly guide the
meat into the blade by sliding the table. With
frozen meat, pay close attention to the feed-
rate. All cuts should be slow and smooth. If
you hear the motor slow down or struggle
with the cut, stop cutting.
3. Clear the slice you just cut and slide the
meat toward the side fence. You can make
successive cuts and the following slices will
be the same thickness as the first.
This bandsaw can cut
your fingers off or cause
other bodily harm. Use a
wooden push stick when
cutting small pieces and
always properly support
any item you cut.
Bacteria from raw meat has been frequently
linked to illness and even death! Describing
proper meat handling techniques outside of
cleaning the bandsaw is beyond the scope of
this manual. If you are unclear about sanitary
meat handling practices, contact your local
Board of Health or the USDA to research the
proper methods of meat handling.
Grinding Meat
The meat grinder is great for grinding hamburger
and sausage. The grinder automatically engages
when it is mounted to the bandsaw unit.
To use the meat grinder:
1. Make sure that all the grinder components
are cleaned and sanitized thoroughly. Refer
to Section 5: Sanitization on
page 23.
2. Install the meat grinder as explained on
page 19.
3. Lower the blade guide as low as it will go and
lock it in place.
4. Prepare a place for the ground meat to exit
the grinder.
5. Drop 1 1 /
2
" cubes of meat into the grinder, one
at a time. Always use the pusher to push the
meat into the spinning auger; never use your
fingers.
6. Always thoroughly clean and sanitize all
parts of the grinder that have been exposed
to meat or food particles. Refer to Section 5:
Sanitization on
page 23.
Note—DO NOT leave the meat grinder installed
on the bandsaw when not in use.
The meat grinder can
easily grind your fingers.
Never use your fingers to
push meat into the grind-
er. Always use the pro-
vided pusher and remove
the meat grinder when
not in use.
