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.
