WARNING
WORK AREA SAFETY
•
Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit.
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work areas
may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
•
Do not allow the product to come into contact with an electrical source. The meat grinder is not
insulated and contact will cause electrical shock.
•
Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the meat grinder. Do
not allow children to handle the product.
•
Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in
your work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause
personal injury and/or property damage if contacted.
WARNING
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the meat
grinder. Do not use the meat grinder while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the meat grinder may result in

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Air vents on the meat grinder often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant
safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. This
applies to all persons in the work area.
