III. Electrical Service Requirements
When placing the bandsaw in your work area, three considerations should be addressed; electrical service requirements, working clearances, and lighting and outlets. We’ll look at the first consideration now and leave the other two for the next section.
The bandsaw has a 1 HP motor which is ready for 110V, single phase operation.
You must wire the motor to the switch.
A. Circuit Loading
The motor will safely draw about 12 amps at
110V under load. If you operate the bandsaw on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist, and power failure still occurs, have the circuit inspected by a qualified electrician.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS/FUSES: A 15 amp circuit breaker or fuse should be used for a
110V undedicated circuit. The general rule is to use the lightest breaker or fuse that will hold under regular loads. Circuit breakers or fuses that are rated higher may not adequately protect the motor.
B. Grounding
This machine must be electrically
grounded. We have furnished the bandsaw with a plug suitable for use with a grounded, domestic 110V circuit.
Please verify that any circuit you intend to use is actually grounded. If the circuit is not grounded, it will be necessary to run a separate 12 AWG copper grounding wire from the machine frame to a grounding terminal in your electric service panel. Consult with a licensed electrician if you are unsure about machine grounding.
If you are unsure about connecting your bandsaw, don’t take chances: consult the service dept or a licensed electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS: If used, extension cords must be rated hard service – grade S – or better. Conductor size must be 12 AWG for cords up to 50 feet in length. Your extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Repair or replace extension cords if they become damaged.
C. Word of Caution
In this section we have covered some basic electrical requirements for the safe operation of your bandsaw. As with the safety rules in the preceding section, these requirements are not necessarily comprehensive. Further, you must be sure that your particular electrical configuration complies with local and state codes. The best ways to ensure compliance are to check with your local municipality or licensed electrician.

IV. Site Planning
A. Working Clearances
Be sure that there is plenty of room around your saw before cutting. Relocate any items that risk contamination and cannot be easily washed. Allow yourself sufficient room to run your saw IN ANY FORESEEABLE OPER-
ATION.
B. Lighting and Outlets
Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle combined motor amp loads. Outlets should be located near the machine so power or extension cords are not obstructing hightraffic areas. Be sure to observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
End of Section
V. Unpacking
The bandsaw is shipped from the factory in a carefully packed carton. If you find the machine to be damaged after you’ve signed for delivery and the truck and driver are already gone, you will need to file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the containers and all packing materials for inspection by the carrier or their agent. Without the packing materials, filing a freight claim can be difficult. If you need advice regarding this situation, please call us immediately.
Caution: The meat cutting saw is a HEAVY machine (106 lbs. shipping weight). DO NOT over-exert yourself while unpacking or moving your machine – get assistance. In the event that your bandsaw must be moved up or down a flight of stairs, be sure that the stairs are capable of supporting the combined weight of people and the machine.
When you are completely satisfied with the condition of your shipment, you should inventory its parts.

D. Pulleys and V-Belt
Pulley alignment and proper V-Belt tension are crucial to increased belt life and optimal power transmission from motor to blade.
The motor pulley should already be centered under the slot in the stand top. Shift the driven pulley so it lines up with the motor pulley.
To align the driven pulley (Figure 4):
1.
Loosen the setscrew on the back of the driven pulley.
2.
Grasp the pulley on the top and bottom.
Shift it along its shaft to line up the Vgrooves on both pulleys. Use sight to judge their vertical alignment.
3.
Tighten the setscrew on the driven pulley.
To install and properly tension the V-
Belt:
1.
Push the motor up to the top of its slots.
2.
While holding the motor in place, slip the
V-Belt into the grooves in the pulleys.
3.
Slide the motor down until the V-Belt is properly tensioned. You should be able to deflect the belt about 1" at the midpoint.
Use moderate finger pressure. Figure 5.
4.
Check that the motor pulley is still in line with the driven pulley.
The motor will have a tendency to twist slightly when it is moved. This will push the pulleys out of alignment and twist the V-Belt. Check and adjust motor position if twisting occurs.
5.
Tighten the motor mounting bolts.
When cleaning (Section XI), you will need to take off and put on the V-Belt. This can be done without adjusting the position of either

G. Meat Grinder
To install the meat grinder (Figure 8):
1.
Loosen the mounting bolt at the base of the meat grinder.
2.
Line up the tang on the saw with the slot on the grinder (similar to a flat head screwdriver and a screw).
3.
Push the meat grinder on the aluminum holder.
Some twisting and turning may be necessary to slide it on; it is a tight fit.
4.
Put the die in place and screw down the lock. Re-tighten the mounting bolt.
If you don’t intend to grind meat, don’t leave the grinder on the bandsaw. Meat juices are its lubrication and running dry will cause excessive wear.

VIII. Adjustments
A. Blade Tension
To check blade tension:
1.
Turn off the power and unplug the saw.
2.
Remove the upper wheel guard by removing the black plastic knob. The blade guard will come off with it.
3.
Lower the guide post so it is not in the way when testing the tension. This is done by loosening the guide post securing knob. Figure 11.
Do not let the post and attached guide assembly drop. There is no spring attached.
Damage could occur.
4.
Press on the face of the blade with your thumb. Figure 10.
5.
The blade should flex about
1
/
2
" with moderate pressure.
If the blade flexes too much or too little, you will experience problems with blade life and/or cutting efficiency.
1 st page of 5 page section
To adjust the blade tension:
1.
Turn the tension adjustment bolt until the blade appears properly tensioned.
Figure 11.
2.
Check the blade tension again.
The pressure that the blade puts on the tension bolt acts to keep it in place. The tension should stay relatively constant. But if you find that the blade will not keep proper tension, consider adding a jam nut to the bottom of the tension bolt. This will act as a supplementary lock.
If the tension seems correct, make the other adjustments to the saw and test run it. If the blade does not cut properly, the tension may be incorrect. Re-adjust tension.

B. Tracking
Alignment of the blade on the wheels, or tracking, is important for cutting efficiency.
Also, blade life will be extended and your cuts will be more predictable.
To CHECK tracking:
1.
Turn the power off and unplug the saw.
2.
Spin the wheels through several complete rotations. Watch the position of the blade on the wheels.
3.
The blade will move back and forth on the wheels very slightly. It may also ride closer to the back of the wheels than the front or vice versa. This is acceptable for a meat cutting saw. However, if the blade moves back and forth on the wheels erratically or falls off completely, you must adjust the tracking.

Figure 12 shows the tracking adjustment screws.
Do not attempt to adjust the horizontally opposed screws.
VIII. Adjustments
To ADJUST tracking:
Tracking is adjusted by altering the position of the setscrews behind the upper wheel.
Adjust only the upper and lower setscrews. Do not adjust the setscrews on the sides.
Figure 12.
1.
Disconnect the bandsaw from the power source and adjust the upper guide blocks away from the blade. See Section
VIII.C.
2.
Decrease the tension slightly before adjusting tracking. Tracking adjustment will automatically increase the tension.
See Section VIII.A.
3.
If you need to push the top of the upper wheel toward the front of the saw, loosen the lower setscrew first and then tighten the upper setscrew.
4.
If you need to push the bottom of the upper wheel toward the front of the saw, loosen the upper setscrew first and then tighten the lower setscrew.
Pushing the top or bottom of the upper wheel toward the front of the saw will correct any tracking irregularities.
You must loosen the opposing setscrew before tightening the setscrew that pushes the wheel the way you want. Otherwise, you’ll put tremendous pressure on the threads and may strip them out.

2.
If the guide blocks are in the correct position, go on to step 3. If the guide blocks are out of alignment, you can alter the position of the guide post and guide blocks.
a. Loosen the guide post securing knob and remove the entire upper guide post assembly.
b. Remove the bolts that anchor the guide post bracket to the frame.
c. Add or remove washers between the bracket and the frame to adjust the position of the guide post and the guide blocks. This will correct the position of the guide blocks.
3.
Now, loosen the thumbscrews holding the guide blocks in place.
4.
Adjust the blocks to about 0.004" from the blade. This is about the same thickness as a piece of typing paper.
5.
Re-tighten the thumbscrews.

blocks are similar to those found on wood cutting bandsaws. The lower guides are steel tabs that can be adjusted to a specific distance from the blade.
To adjust the lower guide tabs
(Figure 14):
1.
Remove the table.
2.
Note whether the blade touches the fixed plate: it should not. If it does, loosen the nuts that hold the fixed plate in place and position it so the blade is centered in the slot in the fixed plate. Re-tighten the nuts.
3.
Loosen the screws that hold the guide tabs in place.
4.
Adjust the guide tabs so they are about
1

F. Blade Guard
Warning: The blade guard must cover all of the blade above the upper blade guide assembly. It is very dangerous to leave unused portions of the blade exposed.
To adjust the blade guard:
1.
Loosen the two black knobs that secure the blade guard to the upper wheel guard. Figure 15.
2.
Slide the blade guard so it almost touches the blade guide assembly.
3.
Re-tighten the mounting knobs.

IX. Safety Rules for Bandsaws
This tool will injure you if you use it in a reckless manner. If you are unfamiliar with the operating and safety procedures for this machine, DO NOT use it. Injury prevention begins before the machine is turned on.
Please read and observe all safety items addressed in this manual.
We have already discussed general safety rules for all power tools. At this point we wish to review some additional safety items relating specifically to bandsaw operation.
1.
Ensure that the machine sits firmly on the floor before use. Any “wobbles” must be corrected before operation.
2.
ALWAYS wear eye protection while operating this bandsaw. All safety equipment must be ANSI approved.
3.
NEVER attempt to operate your bandsaw with dull or badly worn blades. Dull blades require more effort to use and are difficult to control. Cracked blades will snap and flail dangerously in the saw during operation. Inspect blades before each use.
4. This machine is not designed to cut any material other than meat and bone.
5.
All inspections, adjustments, and maintenance are to be done with the power off and the plug pulled from the outlet. Wait for all moving parts to come to a complete stop.
6.
DO NOT operate this bandsaw without wheel and blade guards in place.
7.
DO NOT stick your fingers into the meat grinder
8.
NEVER position body parts in line with the cut.
9.
ALWAYS stand in front (the meat grinder is at the back and the blade teeth point toward the front) of the bandsaw when feeding meat.
10. Cuts should always be fully supported by the table or some type of support fixture.
11. Blade should run at full speed before beginning a cut.
12. When replacing blades, make sure teeth face down toward the table. The force of the cut is always down.
13. Make sure the blade has proper tension.
See Section VIII.A.
14. DO NOT manually stop or slow blade after turning the saw off.
15. DO NOT operate the bandsaw at excessively low temperatures. Blades can break easier if operated at cold temperatures.
16. NEVER leave the bandsaw running unattended.

X. Operations
This bandsaw will make home butchering a simple process. Below is a discussion of possible applications for this saw. Consult your
A. General
1.
Use a sharp, high-quality blade.
2.
Use the right blade for the job.
Your saw comes equipped with a “bonein” blade - which means it can cut both meat and bone. Do not use a “boneless” blade if planning to cut through bone.
3.
Partially frozen meat is easier to cut than meat at room temperature. At room temp, the meat is so soft that it will tend to plug the grinder and blade.
4.
Allow the saw to cut. Don’t force
the meat into the blade. Feed the blade with even pressure at a moderate speed.
5.
Maintain your bandsaw in top
condition. See Section XII of this manual for maintenance procedures.
B. Test Run
1.
Completely assemble the bandsaw and perform all adjustment procedures.
2.
Check that all fasteners are tight.
3.
Make sure that the saw is properly wired for the voltage you intend to use.
4.
Turn on the machine. Be ready to turn it off immediately if there is any sign of malfunction.
5.
If everything is normal, proceed to Part
C and begin cutting.
local butcher shop if you are interested in cutting specific types of steaks or chops.
C. Cutting Procedures
1.
Determine the steak thickness you want.
2.
Position the fence according to steak thickness. If not using the fence, remove it completely.
Removing the fence means one less item to clean.
3.
Adjust the upper blade guide assembly so it is
1
/
4
" from the top of your meat.
Adjust the blade guard so it covers any unused portion of the blade.
4.
Set up a large bowl or container to place your steaks as they are cut. Package them when you are finished cutting.
5.
Power up and let the saw reach full speed.
6.
Feed your meat into the blade slowly and evenly.
Do not allow your fingers to come close to the blade.
Retrieve your steaks and put them in your bowl or container.
D. Meat Grinder
The meat grinder operates simultaneously with the blade. As you are cutting steaks, any extra pieces can be put into the meat grinder.
If you are using the grinder only, remove the blade to decrease the hazards.
Optional dies (parts #33A and #33B) are available for a small fee. Consult the parts list and service department for more information.
You can also make sausages by putting sausage casing over the casing tube and forcing the meat into it. Consult your butcher for further instructions about making sausage.

Hunters Meat Cutting Bandsaw
Your meat cutting bandsaw MUST be thoroughly cleaned after each use!
Bacterial infection is a major concern when working with raw meat. Your meat cutting bandsaw must be thoroughly cleaned with antibacterial soap and water or bleach and water after each use.
Fortunately, your saw was designed with these requirements in mind. A thorough cleaning can be performed relatively easily.
To clean your bandsaw:
1.
Turn the power off and unplug the saw.
2.
Remove the table, fence, upper wheel guard with blade guard, and column guard. Wash them thoroughly.
3.
Pull the V-Belt off the pulleys (Section
VII.D.) and clean it. Use soap and
water only.
4.
Unscrew the threaded studs that anchor the saw to the stand and remove the saw.
The motor is not sealed. Do not allow water to contact it.
Take the saw to a place where you can thoroughly hose off any meat remnants and do so.
5.
Thoroughly wash the saw with antibacterial soap or bleach. Do not forget to clean the blade.
Soap is cheap, lather it up.
6.
Rinse the saw off with the hose and dry it.
Some parts, such as the blade, will rust if not dried completely.
Wiping the blade with vegetable oil will help to retard rust.
XI. Cleaning
7.
Remove the enclosures from the sides of the stand. Clean out any spots that have been contacted by meat. Pay particular attention to the motor pulley.
Be careful not to let water get down into the motor.
8.
Re-assemble the bandsaw in the opposite order it was taken apart.
Do not neglect to clean your saw immediately after use. By cleaning it immediately, you will avoid bacteria, rust, stinky, rotten meat chunks, and a host of other problems.
To clean the meat grinder:
Remove the meat grinder from the saw by loosening the mounting bolt and pulling the grinder off. Completely disassemble the grinder and clean it with antibacterial soap and water or bleach and water. When reassembling, be sure to orient the blade correctly. The grinder will not grind effectively if the grinder blade is fitted backward. When the meat exits the auger, it should contact the flat, sharp side of the grinder blade – not the round, blunt side. Figure 16.

XII. Maintenance
Since the moving parts on this machine run on shielded ball bearings, you will find that there is very little in the line of routine maintenance outside of cleaning (See Section XI).
However, “little maintenance” does not imply
“no maintenance." This section will cover a few simple but crucial steps for the proper maintenance of your bandsaw.
A. Lubrication
Shielded and pre-lubricated ball bearings require no extra lubrication for the life of the bearings. All bearings are standard sizes. If they wear out, replacements can be easily purchased from our parts department or bearing supply stores.
As for other items on this machine, such as adjustment controls, an occasional “shot” of light oil is just about all that is necessary.
Before applying, however, wipe off any debris with a clean cloth or towel and spray on the lubricant. Ensure that oil does not get on the pulleys or V-Belts because it could cause belt deterioration and slipping. Wipe off any spray that gets on the blade, meat grinder, or any stainless steel cutting surfaces.
B. Miscellaneous
Always be aware of the condition of your bandsaw before using it. Routinely check the condition of the following items and repair or replace as necessary.
1.
Loose mounting bolts.
2.
Worn switch.
3.
Worn or damaged blade.
4.
Worn or damaged support bearings or guide blocks.
5.
Worn or damaged V-Belt.
6.
Any other condition that may affect safe operation of this machine.
