Intended Use
Make less work out of processing your own game with this Guide Gear Meat
Grinder. It includes all the atiachments you need to grind fine or course meat,
stuff sausages, or add additional attachments (sold separately) to cube or make
sauces. Its dual-capacitor motor has a built-in circuit that helps you get out
of a jam. And when you’re finished with your work, simply return the cleaned
accessories to its built-in drawer, wrap the 4’ cord around the integrated
cord rail along the side, and it’s ready for your next processing project.
The stainless steel housing, auger and blade make for easy cleanup when you’re

Grounding
This grinder must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electrical shock.
This unit is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL
local codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT MODIFY THE PROVIDED PLUG. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the
proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Electric Diagram
IMPORTANT
CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely
understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the grinder is
properly grounded.
Grounded Grinders: Grinders with 3-Prong Plugs
Grinders marked with Grounding Required have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong
grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If
the grinder should electrically malunion or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk
of electric shock. (See Figure A.)
The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the
cord to the grounding system in the grinder. The green wire in the cord must
be the only wire connected to the grinder’s grounding system and must never be
attached to an electrically live terminal.
Your grinder must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet
should look like those in the following illustration.
Double Insulated Grinders: Grinders with Two-Prong Plugs
Grinders marked Double Insulated do not require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian
Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)
Double insulated grinders may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown
in the following illustration. ****
Extension Cords
IMPORTANT
USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and cause overheating.
IMPORTANT
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person
before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp or wet areas.
Grounded grinders require a 3-wire extension cord. Double Insulated grinders
can use either a 2-or 3-wire extension cord.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge
extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a
serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible grinder
damage.
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cord. For example, a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-gauge
cord. Minimum extension cord wire size is shown in the following table:
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always be as thorough as possible when cleaning and sanitizing components. Any
part exposed to raw meat may harbor or develop bacteria, potentially causing
illness or death.
When cleaning with sanitizers, always follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations. Never use products that cause exposed surface to render meat
unsafe for consumption. Failure to follow this warning may lead to illness or
death!
Clean appliance attire each use.
- Never clean the meat grinder with a pressurized water-jet, industrial cleaner, or any other type of cleaning utensil that could damage the surface of the appliance.
- Do not immerse motor housing in water. Wipe with damp cloth.
- Before cleaning, be sure to unplug the meat grinder from the power source.
- Do not use bleaching solutions containing chlorine as this will discolor aluminum surfaces.
- Before servicing the appliance, be sure to unplug the meat grinder from the power source.
- Periodically check the appliance for wear and tear.
To clean the meat grinder, do the following.
- Remove the food pusher and food tray.
- To remove grinding plate easily, knock grinder head on a hard surface with grinding plate face up.
- Remove food particles.
- Wash all components using warm water and a neutral detergent.
- Clean motor housing with a damp cloth.
- Make sure all parts are completely dry before remounting them.
Filling the Meat Grinder
- When using the grinder, it is important that you stand in the correct position. Do not position yourself so that any part of your body comes in direct contact with the grinder when working.
- The grinder must be filled when working.
- Tighten the hand piece nut. Do not tighten excessively.
- Place the food in the tray.
- Start the grinder using the start bunion.
- Raise the food pusher; feed the meat into the tube. Do not force the meat into the opening.
- If the meat is suitably cut beforehand there should be no problems feeding the meat through. However, if there are problems, tighten the lock nut null the meat is cut to desired size. It is also recommended that the meat be very cold (not frozen) to reduce clogging.
- In order to maintain the plate and blade make sure to turn off the grinder artier all meat has gone through and ensure that the blade and plate are always coupled.
- Press the stop bunion when you have finished using the appliance, then strip the appliance and thoroughly clean both the opening and all other components.
Minimum Wire Size Of Extension Cords
Nameplate AMPS| Cord Length
25’| 50’| 100’| 150’
0 – 6| 18 AWG| 16 AWG| 16 AWG| 14 AWG
6 – 10| 18 AWG| 16 AWG| 14 AWG| 12 AWG
10 – 12| 16 AWG| 16 AWG| 14 AWG| 12 AWG
12 – 16| 14 AWG| 12 AWG| NOT RECOMMENDED
- When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
- If you are using one extension cord for more than one grinder, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
- Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
- Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
