Thank you for the purchase of the Dual Grind Attachment. This attachment will enable you to fine grind meat with one pass and get the same meat consistency as if you did a 2-grind process! This will save you time and eliminate the frustration that often comes with the 2-grind process. No more cooling and waiting between grinds. One pass and done!

This attachment is made to work with LEM Big Bite Grinders made after 2009.

• The #8 head assembly will work most efficiently with Big Bite Grinders Model # 779, 779a, 1779, 780, 780a, & 1780.

• The #22 head assembly will work most efficiently with Big Bite Grinders Model # 781, 781a, 1781, 782, 782a, 1782.

BEFORE USE:

Get to know and inspect the parts of your attachment by referring to the schematic on page (4). You will find that your

Dual Grind Attachment has a special dual blade knife and first grind plate.

Please note the Dual Grind Knife has a number and arrow on one side. This is the side that must face out and run on the second grinding plate. If it is installed incorrectly the unit will not grind properly. Ensure the knife is always installed properly prior to grinding.

The second plate is an industry standard 4.5 mm plate and is interchangeable with other Big Bite plates for the head size of your attachment (#8 or 22).

Note: Both grinder plates have a notch cut out on the edge of the plate, this notch must be lined up with the locating pin at the bottom of the grinder head. Plates can be installed either direction and used on both sides.

THE DUAL GRIND ATTACHMENT MUST BE USED WITH THE INCLUDED ADAPTER AND BOWL OR YOUR BIG BITE

GRINDER MEAT PAN. DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT ONE OF THE ABOVE OPTIONS IN PLACE.

PLEASE NOTE: Your Bite Grinder meat pan should fit into the head of the Dual Grind Attachment but may not snap in place on your grinder motor. Some grinders (1780 and 780A pans will not fit properly). LEM offers meat pans and meat stompers of all sizes if you are interested in a pan/stomper that fits better. (Please call the number at the bottom of the page for assistance.)

Always inspect the Dual Grind Attachment for the installed bushing prior to use. The bushing is a necessary piece and if not installed the unit will not grind properly.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Prior to first use and after every use, thoroughly wash all components of the Dual Grind Attachment in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. LEM highly suggests spraying all components of the Dual Grind Attachment with Silicone Spray prior to storage. Silicone Spray will keep your Dual Grind Attachment in like new condition.

PREPARING THE MEAT

Cut meat into strips that will easily fit into the throat of the grinder head. Meat should be 40°F or colder and free of bone, gristle and sinew.

GRINDER ASSEMBLY

BEFOR USE: WASH ALL PARTS OF THE HEAD ASSEMBLY IN HOT SOAPY WATER. THIS WILL REMOVE ANY GREASE

RESIDUE AND DIRT LEFT FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. DO NOT PUT PARTS IN DISHWASHER.

Prior to assembling your Dual Grind Attachment place your strips of clean, silver skin and bone free, meat into the freezer to cool. Freeze for 15-20 min. Very cold meat will grind easier and faster than warm meat.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

With the grinder motor plugged into a properly grounded outlet and your strips of meat in the meat pan you are ready to grind.

• Turn on the grinder.

• Drop or push single strips of meat into the throat of the grinder and watch the meat turn to finely ground burger.

• Feed meat slowly into the grinder. Use the meat stomper to guide meat into the throat of the

head. Allow grinder to do the work. Do not force the meat through.

DISASSEMBLY

• Turn off the grinder.

• Unplug cord from outlet.

• Remove retaining ring.

• Pull out the auger, plates and knife assembly.

• This can be accomplished easily with Auger Puller that may have come with your Big Bite grinder. If you do

not have an auger puller, they are available at lemproducts.com or by calling 877.536.7763. Another way is

to grasp the auger stud, gently pulling the assembly out of the head. If it is difficult, wiggle the stud back

and forth, up and down, until it becomes free.

CAUTION

Cuts, injuries and/or fire may result from non-compliance with all operating procedures described within this instruction manual.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If meat is mashing instead of extruding in strings from the grinding plate:

• Insure the meat is chilled to 40°F.

• Cut the meat in strips, it will feed more easily.

• Clean the meat of all sinew.

• Sinew is the silver like fibrous tissue that is very

common in venison. If not removed it will get

caught up on the knife and bog down the grinder.

• Disassemble, clean and reassemble the attachment.

• Do not over tighten the retaining ring.

• Check that the Dual Grinding knife is properly installed

with the number and arrow facing out.

• Check that the bushing is installed in the back of

the head.

• A dull knife or plate will also cause mashing of the

meat. If all above suggestions are eliminated, you

may need to replace your knife and plates.

• It is highly suggested to replace the knife and plates

together. These items work in unison and when

one is dull it is likely that the others need replaced

as well.

Black residue is in my meat:

It is normal to see a small amount of black residue on the auger stud and knife. This is from the plate, knife and stud running on each other. If you see this residue simply remove it from your grind. Be sure to wash all items well before and after every use. The use and marrying of the knife with plates will lessen this residue from forming and you should see less over time.

Use of the meat stomper (supplied with your grinder):

• The meat stomper is a great tool to help you guide the

meat into the throat of the grinder head keeping your

hands and fingers safe.

• Resist the urge to use the meat stomper to press the

meat into the grinder faster than it is feeding.

• Keeping the throat of the grinder head clear and

clean will keep you from having to use the meat

stomper.
