Maintain products with care. Keep the Meat Grinder sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for changing accessories. Inspect the tool cord
periodically, and if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized technician.
Disconnect power. Unplug product when not in use.
10. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the Off position when not in
use and before plugging in.
11. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any product
when you are tired.
12. Check for damaged parts. Before using any product, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do
not use the Meat Grinder if the switch does not turn On and Off properly.
13. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
14. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this product. Approved accessories are available from Harbor
Freight Tools.
15. Do not operate product if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgment or reflexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the Meat Grinder.
16. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be
of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up.
Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to
the tool. This tool requires use of an extension cord with up to 10 amps capability (up
to 50 feet), with wire size rated at 18 AWG. Longer extension cords require larger size
wire. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use.
(signified by “WA” on the jacket).
17. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed only by
a qualified technician.
18. Pacemaker safety warning. People with pacemakers should consult with their
physician(s) before using this product; operation of equipment in close proximity to a
heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.
19. Always use the Pusher (13). When using the Meat Grinder, never use your hands,
fork, spoon, or other utensils to push meat into the grinder. Be sure the on/off switch
is in the OFF position until you complete all preparations for grinding.
20. Handle blades carefully. Be alert when handling sharp blades - especially the Star
Cutter (8).
21. Unplug unit. When you are finished grinding, unplug the unit. Never attempt to clean
the unit, or change accessories, unless the unit is unplugged.

Operation
Refer to the Assembly Drawing on page 7 and FIGURES 1 and 2 on page 4.
Unplug the unit until you are completely prepared to grind.
Note: Situate the Grinder well away from the sink or any other water source. When the unit
is plugged in, if it contacts water, it can cause severe electrical shock causing injury or
death.
Assembly for Meat Grinding:
1. Gently drop the Spiral Drive (7) into the Mincing Body (6) with the shaft protruding through
the hole at the back.
2. Carefully fit the Star Cutter (8) on the end of the Spiral Drive (7) with its cutting edge facing
outwards. See FIGURE 2.
3. Place the Fine Grill (10), or Coarse Grill (11) on top of the Star Cutter (8) lining up the 2
tabs (See FIGURE 2) on the Grill with the notches threaded in the portion of the Mincing
Body (6).
4. Attach the #12 Nut to the body, taking care not to over-tighten it. The cutter must rotate
behind the grill, and should not bind.
5. Insert the FeederTube (4) into the Mincing Body (6).
6. Place the Mincing Body (6) into the Drive Unit (1) with the FeederTube (4) facing to the
right. Turn the FeederTube (4) upright for operation.
7. Add the Tray (3) to the top of the FeederTube (4).
Grinding
1. After cutting the meat so that the chunks are small enough to fit into the Feeder Tube (4),
you may plug in the unit.
2. Turn the Switch (2) to the “On” positon.
3. Drop a handful of meat into the FeederTube (4) and use the Pusher (13) to slowly push the
meat into the blade. Do not force the Pusher (13). Allow the blades to cut at their pace.
Continually add meat until you are finished. Shut off the unit and unplug from the outlet.
Assembly for sausage making:
Make sure the unit is unplugged.
1. If the unit is set up for meat grinding, remove the Nut (12) and then remove both the Grill and
the Star Cutter (8). They are not used for sausage making.
2. Gently drop the Spiral Drive (7) into the Mincing Body (#6) with the shaft protruding through
the hole at the back.
3. Position the wide end of the Sausage Maker (14) attachment so it threads into the
Mincing Body (6). Tightly thread the Nut (12) on the end of the Mincing Body (6).

Operation (continued)
Sausage making:
1. Season the ground sausage meat to taste.
2. Soak the sausage skin in tepid water to make it more pliable.
3. Slide the sausage skin onto the end of the Sausage Maker (14) leaving approximately
1/2” to spare.
4. Put the sausage meat into the Feeder Tube (4) and plug in and switch on the unit. Push
down on the Pusher (13) gently, letting the motor do the work. Once the meat reaches the end
of the Sausage Maker (14), turn off the Meat Grinder.
5. To avoid trapping air in the skin, tie a knot up to the end of the Sausage Maker (14).
6. Turn the unit back on and continue adding ground sausage meat.
Notes: Do not make excessively large sausages as the skins will burst. For easier sausage
making work with another person; one to feed the Grinder and the other to hold the sausage
skin as it fits on the Grinder.
7. When finished, turn off the grinder and unplug it. Tie a knot in the remaining skin on the
Sausage Maker (14), and remove it. Note: Pinching and twisting the skin at the desired
length will make the sausage into links.
Maintenance
Before cleaning the Meat Grinder, make sure it is unplugged from the outlet.
Never wash the Grinder in the dishwasher. You may wash the attachments in a
dishwasher.
After each use, clean the Meat Grinder thoroughly. Do not submerge the Grinder Drive
Unit (1) in the water. Detach parts and wash in mild antibacterial detergent and warm water.
Dry parts and re-assemble when ready to use.
