OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Always hold the handpiece of the Quantum Flex
®
Trimmer with your thumb extended. Let the
handpiece rest naturally in the palm of the hand in a relaxed manner. Each person should be
allowed to hold the handpiece in a position that is most comfortable to them.
The most-used motion is a long sweeping or gliding stroke across the trimming surface. Hold the
blade surface as flat to the trim surface as possible. A scooping action, such as dipping ice cream,
should be used around the vertebra.
On flat bones, such as backbones or blades, use a long, quick gliding stroke.
During the cutting operation
DO NOT
try to pull the blade out of a cut. Let the blade do the work
as you would any other cutting tool. Finding the proper angle for the Quantum Flex

Trimmer
will become easy after experience and use of the tool.
As with any meat cutting tool, your speed and efficiency is only as good as the blade sharpness.
In order to achieve maximum unit and operator efficiency, it is recommended that sharp blades
be installed at each shift break. For this reason, it is suggested that extra blades be kept on hand.
For example, if 4 units are being used and there are 3 shift breaks, 16 blades would be required.
This would provide a sharp blade for start up and one for each break.
When following this procedure, steeling of the blade is virtually eliminated, and blades need only
be sharpened once a day. The blade should be stoned or sharpened on a Whizard

Model 210
Universal Blade Sharpener, Whizard
®
Model 214 Blade Sharpener, or Bettcher
®
AutoEdge at the
end of each work day.
Refer to Section 5, Blade Sharpening
.
If blades are not changed at each shift break, it may be required to steel the blade.
Refer to
Section 4, Steeling the Blade
