WARNING: Never assemble, disassemble, work on, or clean grinder if it is plugged into an electrical outlet. Unplug and de-energize the grinder before assembly, disassembly, and cleaning.

BEFORE USE

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

• Insert grinder head into gear housing; be sure that the hopper tray throat is facing upward. Holding grinder head with one hand, place locking knob into the hole on the side of motor housing and tighten it clockwise (See Fig 1).

• Place cutting knife blade onto feed screw shaft of the auger with the flat edge of blade facing the front (See Fig 3).
• If blade is not seated properly, meat will not be ground.

• Firmly screw ring cap onto grinder head. Do not over tighten (See Fig 5).
• Insert the hopper meat tray onto the throat of the head (See Fig 6).

GRINDING INSTRUCTIONS

• For best results, trim all excess tendons, cartilage, cords, and blood clots and remove meat from bones.
• Optimal results occur when meat is chilled to 32-34°F before grinding.
• Cut meat into pieces that will easily fit in throat of grinder head. (Approximately 1 inch squares.)
• Place cubed meat into tray. Be sure not to over fill the tray. Make sure the throat opening of the tray remains clear and open.
• Place a dish, bowl, or tray under grinder head to catch ground meat.
• Switch grinder to grind position. Carefully begin to feed meat down the throat. Use plunger to push meat. DO NOT use fingers or utensils other than the plunger provided; bodily injury may occur and you could damage your grinder.

WARNING: Never place fingers or body parts into grinder as personal injury or death will occur.

IF JAMMING OCCURS OR PERFORMANCE SLOWS
